Doug: Sorry to dissapoint you Carol, but... (Stands up and shakily tries to get his balance) you underestimate me!
Carol: I don't think so.
Doug: It's easy. It's like ice skating.
Carol: Until you have to stop.

Mark: I'm speechless.
Doug: Well, I'm relieved.
Mark: You two got back together?
Doug: She didn't want me talking about it because she didn't want it out at work. Now you are sworn to secrecy.
Mark: Co-whoa! She, she swore she would never get back together with you after last time! (Walks around the room in amazement)
Doug: Things change.
Mark: (Still walking around in amazement) Wow!
Doug: You know, it's not that amazing. (smiling)
Mark: Wow!
Doug: You can stop saying 'wow'.
Mark: I can't believe it!
Doug: You said that.

Doug: Good, thanks buddy.
Mark: (Chuckles a little) I mean after what happened last time, I can't believe it!
Doug: Yeah, well thanks. (smiles)
Mark: Does she make you take a lie detector test every week or something?
Mark: What are you thinking about Doug?
Doug: ...Carol... I'm in love with her... Ya know I used to think I knew what love was. I cared about a lot of woman I just don't think I've ever really been in love. I think about her all the time, I don't like it when I'm not with her, I don't want to be with anybody else. That's love, isn't it?
Mark: Ya, that's love.

Doug: (sits up) What time is it?
Carol: It's 6:10. How was your night? (sits down next to him on the bed)
Doug: I hate night shifts, did you get tomorrow off?
Carol: Not, yet..Did you get tonight off?
Doug: No, I owe too many shifts, Christmas Eve's gonna cost me double.
Carol: This is so unfair.
Doug: Yeah, well, flex your muscle. You make the nurses schedule.
Carol: Yeah, which is why I get stuck with it."Carol can work Christmas she dosen't have a life"...They don't even feel guilty about it.
Doug: Make them feel guilty about it.
Carol: Now that's the Christmas spirit.
Doug: Tell them about us, this is stupid. (gets up and walks to the door; turns to look at Carol) I'm not going anywhere. You know that.
Carol: I know.(Doug turns and then looks at her again) I know.
(Carol enters the doctors lounge and looks around to make sure it's just Doug inside)
Carol: Hello. (kisses Doug; they put their arms around each other)
Doug: Hey, good day?
Carol: Well, it ended good. Guess who got tomorrow off?
Doug: So, you flexed a little muscle, did ya?
Carol: Well, I had to give up New Year's, but I figured it was worth it.
Doug: Oh no. (smiling)

Carol: She's an intern!
Doug: I thought maybe we'd spend more time together then.
Carol: You didn't. (angry)
Doug: No, I didn't. That's a lie.

Doug: Would've been romantic though.
Carol: Well yeah...
Doug: Your looking at me...what?
Carol: Come here.
Carol: (holding Doug's hand) Can I have your attention everybody? Can I have your attention, please? I have an announcement to make. Can you turn down that music. OK, I kept this secret too long...Doug Ross and I are seeing each other again.
Malik: Yeah?
Carol: ...and we're very happy.
Conni: Ok pay up, pay up.
Chuni: I was a week too late, I thought New Years for sure.
Lydia: Yeah, I'm surprised they kept it a secret this long.
Carol: You knew?
Randi: Please honey, it was obvious.
Kerry: I didn't know.(smiles)
Anna: Neither did I.
Doug: Maybe, uh, something that you guys didn't know, uh, that, uh, we've been seeing each other for a little while now, again, and, uh, I thought it would be great if she were to marry me. (Carol looks at him, shocked; everyone cheers; Doug looks nervous) Talk her into it, help me talk her into it.
Chuni: (toasting)To Doug and Carol. Get it right this time.
Carter: Yeah..Here here..Hear hear.
Carol: You always have to out-do me, don't you?
Doug: Well, I had the opportunity and I took it.

Carol: Hell no. (smiles)
Think Warm Thoughts
(Doug's lying on Carol's couch reading a magazine; Carol comes down the stairs)
Carol: I'll be back around six. Have you seen my gloves?
Doug: I got an idea. Why don't we set a date?
Carol: Doug, I gotta be at the clinic at nine. You wanna quit joking with me?
Doug: I'm not jokin'.
Carol: (still trying to find her gloves) I'm halfway out the door, you wanna start talking about a date now?
Doug: You're right, we got all the time in the world to do it. (reaches behind him and pulls out her gloves) Oh, oh, what are these?
Carol: (walks over to him and gets the gloves) What is up with you? (takes a ring measurer out of the gloves) What is that? Doug...
Doug: (sits up as Carol sits down beside him on the couch) See, I just wanted to get a quick size here. I'm gonna get you a rock that'll knock your eye out. (takes the ring measurer from Carol and starts measuring her finger)
Carol: Doug, I don't need a ring.
Doug: Well, we should make it real.
Carol: A ring doesn't make it real. It's real because we say it's real.
Doug: Oh, you do wanna marry me right?
Carol: (kisses him on the cheek) Of course I want to marry you! I've already done the whole ring, (keeps kissing him as she pushes him back down on the couch) and the setting the date....blah blah blah blah blah.
(Dougs chuckling; Carols lying on top of Doug on the couch)
Carol: That's not what I want. I am so happy right now. (she kisses him) This is so perfect right now. Why can't we just be two people who are gonna get married?
Doug: (kisses her) Cheap date.
Carol: Mmm-hmm.
(Carol's working and sees her mom come in)
Carol: Ma, what are you doing here?
Mom: Doug Ross came to see me this morning.
Carol: What?
Mom: To ask for your hand in marriage.
Carol: What? (smiling)
Mom: He said he wanted my permission. He was very polite. Please tell me that this is a joke.
Carol: It's not a joke, Ma.
Mom: Well, how long have you been seeing him?
Carol: Eight months.
Mom: And when were you planning to tell me?
Carol: When the time was right.
Mom: So you intend to marry him?
Carol: At some point, yes.
Mom: At some point? See, even you know this'll never happen!
Carol: Mom, we'll talk about this later, ok?
Mom: I was there to take care of you the last time he broke your heart!
Carol: He's not gonna break my heart.
Mom: Men like him don't change.
Carol: Ma, what did you say to him?
Mom: I told him nothing. I came to see you.
(leaving a message for Doug on their answering machine)
Carol: Doug, pick up. Doug, it's me. Ok listen, I don't know where the hell you are but as soon as you get this, you call me right away. You can run but you cannot hide.
Chuny: Carol, Doug Ross on Line 2.
Carol: (picks up phone) Doug? Guess who stopped by?...My mom...Yeah, (sigh) what, are you on drugs?...No, I just would've like to have told her myself...(smiles) How do you think she's reacting?...(somethings wrong with her patient)...Doug, I gotta go I'll call you back...
Carol: ...He can't handle them all by himself.
Cynthia: Oh, Dr.Ross came in. I think he thinks you're mad at him.
(Carol smiles)
(walks into a room where Doug is working)
Carol: Thanks for coming in today.
Doug: My pleasure. It's amazing what you've done here.
Carol: Really?
Doug: Yeah, five shifts a week, the clinic. It makes a difference.
Carol: I'm sorry I yelled at you over the phone. (smiles at him)
(Doug laughs a little)
Carol: I'm actually glad you spoke to my mom. It's a relief. I don't know what I was waiting for.
Doug: The other shoe to drop.
Carol: (smiling) Dumb, huh?
Doug: You off?
Carol: (sighs) I have to wait on a psych consult. It might take a while.
Doug: (whispering) I'll wait.
(they smile at eachother)
