• Dr. Hank Lawson : [Marshall has asked Hank to help him get sober]  I'm sure we can find a good facility in the area.

  Marshall Bryant : Actually, I'm... I'm ahead of you on this. I've danced around this decision for a while, I've looked at all the options, and I have found the right fit.

  [Marshall pulls out a pamphlet and hands it to Hank] 

  Dr. Hank Lawson : Ultra Rapid Detox?

  Marshall Bryant : They do the whole thing under anesthesia. The meds they give you provide an accelerated withdrawal. Six, eight hours later, when you wake up, the worst of it's passed.

  Dr. Hank Lawson : [flipping through the pamphlet]  Yeah, uh, I'm not seeing their accreditation on this or what hospital they're affiliated with.

  Marshall Bryant : I spoke to them. They can have their anesthesiologist here tomorrow. We'll do the whole thing right here, at home.

  Tucker Bryant : You can be at home the whole time?

  Dr. Hank Lawson : Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down. You don't want to go under anesthesia outside a medical facility. There-there are too many risk factors. One guy with an IV can't handle every contingency.

  Marshall Bryant : Which is why I want you to supervise, act as my... my general contractor.

  Tucker Bryant : Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

  Dr. Hank Lawson : No, it doesn't. Look, they-they don't spell out what they give you to "accelerate withdrawal," but intensifying the process of yanking opiates off receptors could be torture.

  Marshall Bryant : Which is why they knock you out. Do I sense some disappointment here, Hank, that I won't be awake and suffering enough?

  Tucker Bryant : No. No one wants you to suffer.

  Dr. Hank Lawson : Of course not, but this... this sounds like a shortcut.

  Marshall Bryant : Well, shortcuts get you where you want to go.

  Dr. Hank Lawson : They can also get you lost.

• Marshall Bryant : You didn't think I'd miss your birthday, now, did ya?

  Tucker Bryant : I take the fifth.

• Marshall Bryant : [loudly]  Hank! I think we're about to hug.

  Dr. Hank Lawson : We are?

  Marshall Bryant : I don't see any way around it. You're a good man. I would like to bridge the divide that separated us.

  [hugs Hank] 

  Dr. Hank Lawson : [awkwardly]  It's... feeling bridged as we speak.

  Marshall Bryant : [lowly in Hank's ear]  What the hell are you doing here?

• Marshall Bryant : Well, I'm glad you stopped by. Tucker needs immunizations for Kenya. Think you could hook him up with that?'

  Dr. Hank Lawson : Can't Dr. Fitzsimmons handle it?

  Marshall Bryant : You saw that some of Bridget's pills had my name on it, huh?

  Dr. Hank Lawson : Most of them, prescribed by Dr. Feelgood Fitz, who I checked up on.

  Marshall Bryant : If you have an accusation, make it.

  Dr. Hank Lawson : No accusation - an observation. Last night your pupils were saucers. Today they're pinpoints.

  Marshall Bryant : So?

  Dr. Hank Lawson : So you're mixing uppers and opiates and chasing them with alcohol.

  Marshall Bryant : That's bad news. We should be very worried about me.

  Dr. Hank Lawson : Well, the good news is you still have options. You haven't destroyed your liver yet, you're a man with resources...

  Marshall Bryant : And you're a man SEEKING resources.

  Dr. Hank Lawson : That's not what this is about.

  Marshall Bryant : No?

  Dr. Hank Lawson : Look, if you want to make a change...

  Marshall Bryant : I don't. And never mind about the immunizations. Once again, Hank... you're fired. Stop by again. We'll go for the hat trick.

• Dr. Hank Lawson : [having treated Tucker]  Okay, Tucker, you know the drill now.

  Tucker Bryant : Yep. Monitor swelling, plenty of ice.

  Dr. Hank Lawson : But as your friend and a doctor, I can't let you spend the night in a high-risk environment.

  Libby : He can stay at my place, Hank.

  Dr. Hank Lawson : Okay. I'll give you both a ride.

  Marshall Bryant : That's not necessary.

  Dr. Hank Lawson : Yes, it is.

• Marshall Bryant : If I had hurt Tucker...

  Dr. Hank Lawson : You did. You are. And trying to hide so he won't see you like you saw your dad doesn't work. He's seventeen now, and you've only got a couple more years before you lose the chance to connect with him... maybe for good.

• Marshall Bryant : One long weekend and I'm back in action, okay? There's no disrupting my life.

  Dr. Hank Lawson : You NEED to disrupt your life. The allure of a quick fix is what got you addicted in the first place.
