you’re supposed to root for her? No, the main character is Maria, the nun. I don’t get it. This is why no
one likes your generation.

I’m not staying there if there’s a gas leak. What do you mean, it might help me sleep? Just fix it. Ugh, I

Flee (v) to escape by running away, especially because of danger or fear

To end up (phv) to finally be in a particular place or situation

No shade. That’s how I ended up with the cut. I had to flee my apartment. I didn’t have time to grab my
hair brush. Don’t stay at some weird old person’s house. Stay with me. You’ll have a bed, breakfast, and
nonstop access to fresh fruit and friendship.

I promised her I wouldn’t read her diaries. But you didn’t. If I find out how old she was when she lost her

Undies [ˈʌn.diz] (plural n) underwear

Permit is an official document. Permission is the act of allowing something.

Having you stay over will be so fun. I used to love slumber parties as a kid. Oh, I was great at sleepovers.
I always stayed up the latest and put everyone’s undies in the freezer. Uh-oh. It’s the party people. You
have permission to stay in my room, and you also have permission to read my diaries. Aw, you guys give
the same permissions. I wish I could join, first for the fun, and second, I have to borrow all your pots and
pans again. What happened to your birthday pans? I took them back to the store and turned them into
birthday earrings.

You know, it’s rude to talk about an event in front of someone who hasn’t been invited. Oh, Dennis, are
you jealous? Course not. But I swear to God, if you choreograph any dances with me, there will be hell
to pay.( (Carol and the other girl) made a dance move without him, he will be really upset)

To sedate [sɪˈdeɪt](v, transitive often passive) to give sb drugs to make them calm or to make them
sleep

This patient was admitted with cardiogenic shock. We need to take his blood pressure in real time. He’s
sedated, so we can insert the a-line. Observe. The iPhone generation loves using the ultrasound to
detect an artery. Nothing’s coming up. It looks like it’s broken again. I think you just need to turn it on.
I’ll handle this. No ultrasound? But how are you gonna find the artery? What if you miss? Good thing I
don’t miss. That’s incredible. He just inserted an a-line blind. That’s like putting in contacts with a foam
finger.

Repartee [rep.ɑːrˈtiː] (un) quick and usually funny answers and remarks in conversation

Assure (vt) to tell sb confidently that sth is true, especially so that they do not worry

Technology has become a crutch. New doctors are not learning the clinical skills which have been the
foundation of medicine for hundreds of years. So I propose, for the next few days, we stay away from
technology and we practice the fundamentals. Whoa, we’re going acoustic. Dr. Frost Unplugged.
Excellent repartee, Dr. Sommers. Teach these newbies a thing or two. Well, I think you could benefit
from the back-to-basics experience as well, Dr. Jacobs. I can assure you, my skills are more than
sufficient. Well, I am excited to see them. Dr. Jacobs, you are one of us. I will never be one of you.
Tchotchke [ˈtʃɒtʃ.kə](cn) a small decorative object

James Bond is a very well dressed character and it would be an unusual look if he was to wear these. So
it would be something that should never happen

Carol, I love your place. Not as many tchotchkes as I expected. But about the right amount of throw
pillow. Well, after my ex-husband moved out, I redecorated a bit. Give me a handful of throw pillows,
and I’ll give you a home. You really did win Teacher of the Year every year. 2001, 2002, 2004, wait.
Where’s 2003? It’s in there. “Teacher of the Year First Runner-Up 2003”? Yeah, another teacher saved
the principal from choking on a tater tot. It’s all politics. So, what should we do first? Binge a TV show,
paint our nails. Oh, we could prank-call Caleb. Ooh. I was planning on taking a shower, but I haven’t
prank-called someone since junior high. But we would need a landline. Oh, you mean, like this? Tell me
it has a super long cord. The longest. I canceled my cable from the toilet. Carol with her hair down? I
feel like I’m seeing James Bond in flip-flops. Oh, did you order food? No, it’s probably Jerry. Come on in.
Meet my friend Lexie. Hey, Carol, I picked these from my tree. I wanted to bring them by because I
know how much you like making lemon bars. Oh, You are the sweetest, Jerry. Wow, you sure are. Carol,
where have you been hiding this one? Next door for the past 20 years. Hey, while I was up on my ladder
picking these bad boys, I noticed your gutters were a little clogged. I can clean them out for you
tomorrow if you like. I will pay you in lemon bars. Deal! I’ll give you change in smiles.

Hair-down Carol has a gentleman admirer. What are you talking about? He wants to get in your gutters.
Carol, you’re still wearing your marriage glasses. What do you mean by that? Uh, how long were you
married? 22years. So for 22 years, you were completely blind to anyone showing interest in you.

Because what was the point? You were practically dead. But I’m not married anymore, so how can I be
wearing marriage glasses? Carol, it takes time to break that long of a habit. He is throwing love beams in
your direction, and your marriage glasses are blocking out the rays. I can’t see them because they’re
not there. All I’m saying is I’m not exchanging night lemons with my neighbors. He is a nice friend, end
of story.

Now, let’s call Caleb and pretend we’re Jane Goodall and ask for money. Dr. Sommers, nice job
identifying that positive egophony in a patient’s lungs. And don’t worry, you two. You’ll get better with
practice. A significant amount of practice. When someone’s lungs are clear, and they say “A,”

Technophobia (un) fear, dislike or avoidance of new technology

In the time- certain amount of time. It usually takes us to see ten - They are saying it has taken more
time than normal to see those two patients. Usually they would see ten in the same amount of time.

Our next patient has dilated cardiomyopathy. Who wants to learn a cardiac percussion test? It’s a conga
beat. We’ve seen two patients in the time, it usually takes us to see ten. You know how I know this is
pointless? Because Caleb is good at it. We are paying the price for Dr. Frost’s technophobia. Guys, this
chest isn’t gonna tap itself.

To zip it (slang.) a rude and angry way of telling sb to stop talking

Thanks for letting me stay with you, but don’t worry, I’m going home tonight so you and Jerry can finally
smash. You know, I don’t usually say things like this to people who I care about, but zip it. Why are you
telling Lexie to zip it?

Carol’s got a man-friend? Oh! Tell me everything.

Mover (cn) sb who helps people move their possessions to a different place to live or work

To get with sb (slang) to have sex with sb

You know men can be nice to women they don’t want to date. Rarely. But if they like you, they’ll do
anything. I’ve never had to hire a mover in my life. You know, this seems like a very outdated point of
view, and that’s coming from me. You’ve seen my landline. All right, allow me to demonstrate. Can you
grab me some ketchup? You have legs. I’m busy. Now, observe this. I need to get my tires rotated, but I
don’t feel like it. Can you drive it to the garage and have them do it and then bring it back here? Sure,
when? Now, I could take a sick day. You know what? Never mind. Just grab me some ketchup. Oh, my
gosh. I think you guys might be right. Have I been wearing marriage glasses? Does Jerry really have
feelings for me? Yes. Carol are you gonna get with Jerry? No, Jerry is not my type. He’s too gentle.

Edge (n) an advantage over other people/allure(un): attraction, charm or excitement

To whip (sb) up a batch : to make or prepare food very quickly

A hint of sth: a very small amount of sth

What with (idiom) : used to introduce the part of a sentence that indicates the cause of sth
I realized today, what with(because or because of) your busy doctor schedule, you might not have time
to make them yourself, so I whipped you up a batch. Come on in. Now, they are a little unconventional.
I added just a hint of freshly grated nutmeg for some spice.

To give sb the business: to harass sb; to scold sb

Jerry, we need to talk. Is it the gutters? You know, there was a crow up there giving me the business, so
I didn’t clean them out quite as thoroughly as I wanted. No. It’s not that.

Nifty (adj) good, pleasing, or effective

Gal (cn) a woman or girl

Constant (adj) happening a lot or all the time

To wind up with sth or sb: to end up having sb or sth; end up with

lemons. The constant lemons. My tree makes too many; if I don’t get rid of them, I wind up with a real
squirrel problem. But all the chores. I just wanted to lend a hand. I mean, ever since your divorce,
you’ve been all alone. I guess, I just felt sorry for you.

I feel like I came at a bad time.

To make an ass of oneself: to behave stupidly and look silly

To be familiar with sth = well informed

To be familiar to sb= recognizable

Oh, there she is. How’d it go last night with Jerry? You two bump oldies? Oh, you didn’t tell her? Yes, I
talked to Jerry and made a complete ass out of myself. It was so embarrassing. What happened? Jerry
told me he didn’t have any romantic feelings toward me and we were just neighbors and friends. Gee,
does that sound familiar to you two? Yeah, that’s exactly what you said. I’m sorry, Mom, but all the
signs were there. It was so awkward. Plus, he still has my air fryer. I’m never gonna see that again.

Neighborly (adj) friendly and helpful. To those living near you

By the way, why isn’t Jerry interested in me? The man has prescription halitosis medication. I felt bad
before. Now I feel worse. I was so sure. Maybe the olds just communicate differently. Yeah, I wouldn’t
show up to someone’s house unless I was basically proposing. Maybe that lemon farmer was just
neighborly. Maybe he feared that if he spoke his truth, his heart would be broken. Oh. Whatever. I
don’t know.
Stethoscope [ˈsteθ.ə.skəʊp] (cn)

To run behind : to be late

Mrs. Ferguson. Our next patient is a 70-year-old female admitted with chest pains and dizziness. Dr.
Jacobs, why don’t you take your stethoscope and have a listen. Actually, sir, we’re running very behind.
To speed things up, I grabbed this portable ultrasound. It can give us results in seconds. Well, that
sounds like the perfect solution for a doctor on the go. It connects directly to your phone through
Bluetooth. Boom! Check out this picture quality. That is a clear aortic stenosis. I’m holding her heart in
my hand. Well, if everyone’s excited about this, let me take a look. Just connecting to Bluetooth. Sir,
you just Airdropped me photos of a child’s birthday party.

Ah, one of those days, huh? Little bit. Something embarrassing happened in my personal life. Ah. Toilet
paper stuck to your shoe? Oh, no, worse. Oh. Well, you also have toilet paper stuck to your shoe. No, I
just thought someone was romantically interested in me, and it turns out he just had too many lemons.
Ah, (it’s an) easy mistake to make. No, he didn’t think so. He seemed pretty horrified by the idea. Oh,

Absurd(adj) stupid and unreasonable, or silly in a humorous way

that’s absurd. You have the grace of a long-distance runner and the passion of a short-distance runner.
Dr. Kenney, if I may say so, that man’s so damn fool. You are a catch and a half(?, that person would be
an asset, you are a catch=attractive because of the person’s beauty or personality, and a half=very
attractive. You use “he/she/you is/are a catch when describing sb especially for dating and marriage
purposes.).

Manipulative (adj) a manipulative person tries to control people to their advantage

You two are manipulative monsters. But something kind of good did come out of this. I realized I have
been wearing marriage glasses. And I think It might be time for me to take them off.

I’m really happy you’re ready to date. I have to admit, it was nice to think that someone was interested
for a minute, even if it was just Jerry, who is the last person on Earth I would ever want to be with.

I feel like I should call security, but what if we just let this play out for a minute? Carol, I’m about to do
something I should’ve done a long time ago. I want to tell the whole world that I love you. Carol, last
night, I was caught off guard. I’ve imagined that moment between us for so long, I panicked. But the
truth is I love you. Jerry, you don’t mean that. I do. I planted that lemon tree just for you. Okay, that
makes me nervous. I have waited patiently since your divorce, but our time is now. I didn’t want to let
another minute go by without telling you how I feel. Okay, but just FYI, I would’ve been home in, like,
45minutes.

Patient is a30-year-old female with shortness of breath, a slight fever and a cough. Urgent care gave me
some antibiotics, but they only made me feel worse. I’m so tired. Honestly, it’s hard to walk more than
ten steps. Plus, I can’t get rid of this stupid cough. It’s so annoying.

But just a warning, if you put her on antibiotics for pneumonia, she’ll die. Maybe don’t put me on the
antibiotics. It’s easy to misdiagnose. The fluid you saw in the ultrasound isn’t in her lungs. It’s behind her
lungs.

To stand to do sth: to be likely to do

To embrace (v) to include sth as part of a subject, discussion etc

Technology is great, and I could stand to embrace(=take sth on enthusiastically, to accept it) it a bit
more, but it’s no substitute for clinical skill. We do everything at such a high speed now that sometimes
we don’t take the extra time to really listen. Thank you for the reminder.

To lock sb/oneself out (of sth) to prevent sb from entering a place by locking the door

Now, I know I look impressive right now, and I hate to admit this, but somehow I’ve managed to lock
myself out of my phone. Can you believe they only give you eight guesses?
Hey, how did Jerry take it? You let him down easy? I thought so, but then last night he chopped down
the lemon tree. So, maybe it’s for the best. Hey, Jerry wasn’t the right guy for you. That just means
someone else will be. Someone without halitosis. From now on, I’m gonna be open to seeing romantic
possibility wherever it may present itself. Dr. Kenney, just the person I wanted to see. I have a gift for
you. A gift? Yes, a very special gift, just for you. A reflex hammer. Wow, I don’t know what to say. It’s so
thoughtful, Dr. Frost. I’m flattered.

It’s always just a minute too late.

To be lodged in: to becom firmly stuck somewhere or to make sth become stuck OPP) dislodge

Cost (vt) to cause sb to lose or destroy sth valuable

To make sth up to sb: to do sth good for sb because the person has been good to you or because you
have been bad to the person

All right, drain snaked. Gross level : high. I could build you a man with the hair that was lodged in there.
Your terrible advice cost me my handy neighbor, so you’re gonna be making this up to me for a long
time. Um, the knob on the bannister is loose. Oh, and after that, can you go outside and tackle the
gutters? Mm, you got that, Jake?

Now, let’s prank-call Caleb again.
