S1 E1: A Hard Day’s Night
Opening: “The game. They say a person has what is takes to play, or they don’t My mother was one of the greats. Me on the other hand, I’m kinda screwed...”
Closing: “I can’t think of any one reason why I wanted to be a surgeon, but I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit. They make it hard on purpose, there are lives in our hands. There comes a moment when it’s more than just a game. And you either take that step forward, or turn around and walk away. I could quit, but here’s the thing: I love the playing field.”

S1 E3: Winning a Battle, Losing the War
Opening: “We live out our lives on the surgical unit. Seven days a week, 14 hours a day. We’re together more than we are apart. After a while, the ways of residency become the ways of life. Number one: Always keep score. Number two: Do whatever you can to outsmart the other guy. Number three: Don’t make friends with the enemy. Oh, and yeah, number four: Everything, everything, is a competition. Whoever said winning wasn’t everything? Never held a scalpel.”
Closing: “There’s another way to survive this competition. A way no one ever seems to tell you about. One you have to learn yourself. Number five: It’s not about the race. At all. There are no winners or losers. Victories are counted by the number of lives saved. And, once in a while, if you’re smart, the life you save… could be your own.”
