• Dr. Sheldon Hawkes : [picking Danny up from physical therapy]  So what was that?

  Detective Danny Messer : What?

  Dr. Sheldon Hawkes : Danny, you got to try *way* harder if you're going to get up out of this chair.

  Detective Danny Messer : Doc, you know what? I got a policy, buddy. I don't take advice unless I ask for it.

  Dr. Sheldon Hawkes : Yeah, well I've got a policy, too. I'm always up front with my friends. And with an injury like yours, you should have been up out of that chair weeks ago. You're not pushing yourself.

  Detective Danny Messer : [offended]  You kidding me? I'm gonna give you five minutes of the pain that I feel every time I take a step.

  Dr. Sheldon Hawkes : Danny, I treated hundreds of trauma patients that would trade places with you in a minute.

  Detective Danny Messer : Look... you came here to take me to work, right? Let's go.

  [Danny starts to roll his wheelchair forward, but Hawkes stops him] 

  Dr. Sheldon Hawkes : There's a fireman that came into Emergency one day. Big, strong guy, huh? Just hit a walk-off home run at the department softball game. Rounded the bases, crossed home plate, his whole team piled on top of him in celebration. Broke his back. I never met anybody with a heart like this guy. It took a lot of sweat and pain and perseverance, but eventually, yeah, he walked again.

  Detective Danny Messer : Is that the end of that story?

  Dr. Sheldon Hawkes : He said "Pain is the payment for each precious thing." Try harder, Danny.
