Carmy and Claire bond over their shared history and the intense demands of their respective careers in medicine and culinary arts. As they navigate a mundane errand, the conversation shifts from childhood memories of Carmy's late brother to a lighthearted game that masks their growing romantic tension.
CARMY: Thanks for driving.
CLAIRE: Perfect timing. I had an early shift, and all this extra adrenaline after I reset a big guy’s tibia.
CARMY: Damn.
CLAIRE: Plus I love driving.
CARMY: Oh yeah?
CLAIRE: So much. I was in New York for college and my residency and never drove. Making up for it now.
