Richard: "Come on, she's lost a lot of blood. Start 2 large bore IVs and bolus 2 liters." he's heard as Sky, Addison, and Burke come into the ER while following the gourney with Rina on it and Walter and Joe behind them

Burke: "Ready? One, two...Get me a stat EKG And a portable chest, Brooke."

Addison: "She's 34 weeks pregnant with twins. You guys, why don't you go have a seat in the waiting room?"

Walter: "We're not leaving her."

Sky: "What happened?" she asks seeing Richard and Adele in one of the trauma rooms 

Richard: "I don't know. I found her unconscious. She's lost blood, a...a lot of blood I didn't even know she was in the hospital. What was she doing here?" he asks as Addison comes into the room 

Sky: "Hey. They found the fourth climber. Vitals are stabilizing after fluids, but..." she says when Mark and Derek come into the ER and she walks them towards a trauma room

Mark: "I thought he was dead."

Derek: "He was according to his friends. Did the CT Show a bleed?"

Sky: "Uh, we haven't done a CT yet."

Derek: "I don't understand. You said there's a head trauma."

Sky: "Yeah, there's been a little head trauma" she opens the door and they see the man unconscious with an ax in his head "Ice ax to the head."

Mark: "What the hell happened up on that mountain?"

Derek: "That's a good question."

Burke: "I'm thinking four hours tops to repair this heart, if all goes well." he says as himself, Sky, and Derek scrub in for their surgeries 

Derek: "You're a lucky man, Burke. Cristina's great. She's there, she's sure. She's willing to commit. You're a lucky man."

Sky: "And you're not?" she raises her eyebrows in question as Mark comes into the room

Mark: "There he is. T-minus five hours. And how's the best man? Up to the challenge? I was an excellent best man."

Derek: "You know, the worst case scenario is I sleep with your wife in ten years."

Burke: "Okay." he says as Sky and Derek chuckle before going into their surgery 

George: "Poor guy...he just wanted to climb a mountain, and he ends up with an axe in his head."

Derek: "Well he shouldn't have tried to turn back. The group is going up, you go with the group. Okay, drill, please."

George: "He panicked. You have a right to turn back if you're scared."

Derek: "No, you don't. You chose to climb a mountain. You can't change your mind in the middle of the climb. Okay." he says drilling around the hole a little 

George: "Now we pull it out?"

Derek: "Ah, yeah, but the axe went in as they fell, so there will be some tearing, it should be a shallow wound, and it should come out easily. You ready?"

Sky: "Yup."

Derek: "All right everybody. Here we go. Ready? Okay, one, two...three." he says trying to pull the ax out only for it not to move making them look at it in question

Sky: "That's strange."

Derek: "Yes it is. One...two...three! That's a clean cut." he pulls the ax out and they look at the hole in wonder
