CSI: NY2004

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.
