:53:01
- When we're through with all of this.
- Sure.
:53:12
Look after her, Griss, okay?
:53:18
Rule number one: Don't
get involved with patients.
:53:21
Rule number two: Don't get
involved with patients' daughters.
:53:24
- You understand?
- What about rule number three?
:53:26
Don't get involved
with dispatchers named Love.
:53:28
Now, boy, you don't know nothin'
about rule number three.
:53:31
Cannot begin to understand
the complexities of that rule.

[R&B On Radio]
:53:37
Come on. Let's go
look at some hookers, hmm?
:53:39
Kit Kat Club be lettin'out 'bout now.
:53:43
[Love On Radio]
74-Will. 330, West 33rd.
:53:45
Church ofJesus Son,
for demonic possession.
:53:48
72-Victor, you're goin'to 8th and 14th.
:53:50
On the corner, there's a 40-year-old
man hearin'celebrity voices.
:53:53
76-X ray, take it uptown,
541 West 54th St,
:53:57
for the elderly woman
abducted by her cat.
:54:00
[Continues]
:54:02
[Marcus] Look at these women.
Can't even tell who's a hooker no more.
:54:06
Whatever happened to
go-go boots and hot pants?
:54:08
They'll wear anything now.
:54:10
Walk out the house
with whatever they got on.
:54:13
[Man Shouting, Indistinct]
:54:16
You got the wrong guy!
Hands off, baby!
:54:19
[Frank Narrating]
The street's not like the E.R.
:54:21
There's no walls, no controls.
:54:26
To make up for that, they try to teach
me how to act without thinking...
:54:29
like a soldier who can take
apart and reassemble a gun blindfolded.
:54:34
Kick his ass!
Fuck him up! Fuck him up!
:54:38
Kick his ass!
Beat the shit out of him, baby!
:54:41
Beat the shit out of him!
:54:43
[Frank Continues] I realized
that my training was useful...
:54:45
in less than ten percent of the calls...
:54:47
and saving someone's life
was rarer than that.
:54:51
After a while, I grew to understand...
:54:54
that my role was less about
saving lives than about bearing witness.
:54:59
I was a grief mop.
