Laughing at "Loose Ends"greenspun.com : LUSENET : ER Discussions : One Thread |
I have to say I'm grateful that they put some humor into last night's episode (between David and Carol there was a lot of sadness.) I laughed out loud at the guy who stole the ambulance and everyone's reactions to him. When the EMT told Malucci and he said, so blase, "That sucks." I roared. And when the ambulance thief called in and they asked for the condition of the patients and he responded "I don't know--they're pukin'!!!" I roared again. He was priceless.

I also thought it was funny when Doris the paramedic said to him "Yeah, you're gonna get your wound checked!" (Or rather, she snarled at him!) Also, parts of the scene with Carter, Abby and Dave with the new camera were funny. And what was Dave supposed to do after Doris told him the guy stole her rig? There wasn't anything Dave could do about it, so his reaction was pretty funny. (I'm wondering why she left her rig unattended with the door unlocked and the key in the ignition, anyway!)

I said on another thread that I really liked it when Chen cornered Romano into signing that petition. It was definately my favorite funny part! :) I'm smiling just writing about it.

I've liked Dr Dave since the very beginning and I'm so glad he is getting good plots and lines. When he said That sucks, and that about fun with the camera I thought Oh yes boy, you're on your way to the top :D

I also really loved his conversation with Carter about being a yuppy...Carter saying "you're a yuppy, Dave" and him asking Kerry "the chief" what she thought and she said "you'll be one when you grow up." Very, Kerry, very Carter, very Dave...great little scene there!

I agree with what someone said either here or somewhere else, where Carter and Malucci's relationship and the way they act towards one another is like Mark and Doug's. Carter being Mark and Malucci being Doug. That whole episode reminded me of the two of them.

I'd forgotten that line, Elaine, but I too loved it! You'll be one when you grow up. Great one, Kerry! ROFL!

Kimmy, that was my thread! I'm glad you agree. I would love to see a great friendship develop, and I watched it again yesterday, since I was gone all weekend, and where Carter pulls Malluchi away from the father but doesn't totally say no to him helping with the exam on the girl, was totally Doug and Mark! Plus, him asking Malucchi whether he wanted to take the stab wound guy (hmmm, Carter wants to take every patient, but not the guy with the stab wound...interesting) and then realizing Dave is upset, gets somber and asks about the girl. Very Doug and Mark as well. JMO
