• Gabriela Dawson : Rule number 1: every successful run ends with junk food. Come on. Ladyfinger? Rule number 2: take this job seriously when you have to, and that's it, otherwise, you won't last a year.

  Harris Thornton : I got to tell you: I thought I was gonna toss my breakfast back there.

  Sylvie Brett : Ugh, every new paramedic's worst nightmare.

  Gabriela Dawson : Is it?

  Sylvie Brett : Of course it is.

  Harris Thornton : My mom and dad-- they told me I wasn't cut out for this. They told me I wouldn't last a week.

  Sylvie Brett : Aww.

  Harris Thornton : "Supportive" isn't a word you'll hear at the Thornton house.

  Gabriela Dawson : So why are you here?

  Harris Thornton : I was in a bicycle accident when I was 12. These paramedics showed up, and I'm not sure if I'd be able to walk if it wasn't for them. I said to myself, "This is what I'm gonna do."

  Sylvie Brett : Well, you're gonna be a good one. I can already tell.

  [alarm blares] 

  Emergency dispatch : Ambulance 61, man down from unknown causes.

  Gabriela Dawson : It's that kind of day.

• Harris Thornton : I appreciate you both standing up for me, but if I'm liable for the broken rib, then...

  Gabriela Dawson : No way. We've spent years in the union. I mean, we might get another ding on our magical files, but you've got your whole future ahead of you.

  Sylvie Brett : Yeah, you were just trying to do the right thing.

  Gabriela Dawson : Rule number 3: save lives first, worry about consequences later.

  Harris Thornton : Okay. Thank you. Both of you. I promise to live up to your expectations.

  Gabriela Dawson : Just live up to yours.

  Sylvie Brett : Yeah, we still have you for one more shift, right?

  Harris Thornton : Yes. See you Thursday.
