- George: If you need anything...
- George: Keep it to yourself...
- George: No one cares.

- George constantly drinking coffee.
- George: Oh, yes. Don't forget you'll also have to do an evaluation of all the Little Creek staff.
- George: We need to know if they're fit for work here.
- George: I expect that won't be a problem.
- Sam: I don't think...
- George: Great, good luck!

- Sam: You're here to bring me more work, right?
- Daniel: Err... no? Why?
- Daniel: This is the psychology department, right?
- Sam: Er, yes, I'm sorry. What was it you wanted?
- Daniel: I used to work in...
- Daniel: Well, actually I used to own Little Creek Hospital.
- Daniel: I've arranged for all my friends to come and temporarily work at Queensburrow…
- Daniel: But only if they get cleared by the head of psychology... Which is you...
- Daniel: Can you take it easy on them? They've been through a lot.
- Sam: Sure.
- Daniel: Thank you.
- Sam: Err, Daniel... while you're here...
- Sam: You're on my list too.
- Daniel is on the bed and Sam is sat there.

- Daniel: Then I took one of the fireman's hammers...
- Daniel: And then I saved Allison and her mom.
- Sam: I feel like you might be skipping over some of the important bits here, Daniel.
- Sam: Can you tell me step by step how you got to the room with Allison and her mother?

- Aubrey: Oh, look - it's the girl who drives ambulances off cliffs and runs into burning buildings...
- Aubrey: Just so you know, THIS hospital is MY hospital.
- Aubrey: And we can totally do without a bad luck magnet!
- Aubrey: So maybe do us all a favor and fail your psych eval, OK?
- Aubrey leaves the ward.
- Allison: Well... Well! Maybe you should fail your... psych... eval…
- Allison's a loser.

- Allison: Allison...
- Sam: Sit down, we'll do your evaluation during my shift...
- Allison goes to bed and sits down.
During the level
Part 1
- Sam: Okay, let's start with the fire, do you know how it all started?
- Allison: Yes. The fire started because of Victor. He replaced all our equipment with faulty equipment.
- Allison: It almost felt like it was intentional...
Part 2
- Sam: You then ran into a burning building. Not a lot of people would do that. Why did you?
- Allison: I had to get the machine I picked up here to my mom in Little Creek Hospital, or else she'd die.
- Allison: I wasn't just going to give up. I only just had her back in my life...
Part 3
- Sam: You and your mom don't have a normal mother-daughter relationship. Can you tell me a little about that?
- Allison: I could... Do you have a couple of hours?
- Allison: Honestly, I think what matters is that we're okay now.
Part 4
- Sam: Can you at least tell me how things changed for you and your mother?
- Allison: I just didn't want to be angry any more...
- Allison: It wasn't helping anyone. In fact, it was only making things worse.
- Allison: No one ever lost anything by forgiving someone.
Part 5
- Sam: Lastly, do you think you're ready to get back to work?
- Allison: I really, really want to get back to work.
- Sam: I understand, but that isn't really the question I'm asking.
- Sam: Do you think the fire has in any way impaired your judgment or skills?
- Allison: Honeestly… I... I don't know...
After the level
- Sam goes to Allison. Allison gets up.
- Allison: So? How did I do?
- Sam: I can't really tell you yet...
- Ruth enters the ward.
- Ruth: So there's no trace of Victor anywhere... It's like he's disappeared...
- Sophia walks pregnant!
- Allison: Ruth! Sophia!
- Allison runs to Ruth and gives a hug!
- And Allison gives Sophia a hug too!
- Allison: You look like you're ready to pop[1].
- Sophia: I FEEL like I'm ready to pop...
- Sophia: If raising this kid is half as hard as carrying it, I don't know how I'll manage it alone...
- Allison: Yeah, about that...
- Allison: I heard your house is still for sale.
- Allison: Maybe if we pool all our money together, we can try and buy it back.
- Allison: You wouldn't lose the house, I'd be out of my crummy apartment and we'd all be able to help with the baby.
- Ruth: That just might work...
- Ruth: I mean, it's plenty big enough... We'd still have a spare room.
Level 53 - Active Duty
- Stan is on the bed.
- Stan: ...it's just... sometimes I feel totally insignificant...
- Stan: ...like I'm a side-character in some sort of weird game...
- Stan: ...like the writers keep forgetting I exist.
- Stan: Sure, they gave me some lines, THIS TIME.
- Stan: But I never do anything of any significance.

- Sam: I think our time is up...

- Mason: In fact, I was hoping you might be able to shed some light on that.
- Mason: You can accuse my dad a lot of things, but leaving quietly into the night...
