Dr. Rachel Irving

“I talked to him about the first one, “He begins, leaning back against the couch as he throws the tennis ball up in the air and then catches it again, making a rhythm of it. “ —- didn’t bother to mention the second. Gunshots are about the same. If you survive one, it means you did OK. If you didn’t…well, there wouldn’t be much talking, would there?”

"Did talking to him about the first one seem to help at all? His feelings or even maybe your relationship with him?"

"In for a penny..." Carl Morck and Dr Rachel Irving in every episode (or talking about each other) Dept. Q 1x01 - 1x02 - 1x03 - 1x04 - 1x05 - 1x06 - 1x07 - 1x08 - 1x09

He decides to sit after just a few more minutes of contemplation, and he gingerly sits down, not fully relaxing as he leans forward to grab another tennis ball. It’s stupid. It doesn’t work. And yet…he squeezes it anyways. “About the migrating patterns of birds or some bit about my childhood making me the stellar fella I am today?”

She was contemplating grabbing her lunch from behind her desk when he finally walked over and took a seat on the couch. Good. He was going to attempt to play nicely. "Mm, no," she replied. " I was thinking more along the lines of 'did you speak to Jasper about your newest gunshot?' Or even about your first one? He seemed particularly keen to talk to you about it the other night."

for anyone who doesn’t know, there’s a statue of a famous dog up town that’s meant to bring you luck when you rub it’s nose. as carl mentions, it’s mostly just a thing that tourists do, and the nose has had to be replaced a bunch of times because so many people rub it. at least from my experience, most locals think it’s a bit fucking stupid. not everyone though, but it is a bit annoying when you can’t walk along the pavement because there are so many people queuing up next to it. this just feels like such an edinburgh thing to include, but doesn’t feel like the writer just searched up ‘stuff in edinburgh’. it’s also such a carl thing to say. i think it’s hilarious.

clearly.

Rachel: Carl Morck? Carl: Dr Sonnenberg. Rachel: I'm Dr Irving. Dr Sonnenberg broke her hip, so I'm filling in. Carl: … Rachel: Pick one.

he's seventeen and he's sensitive and he just wants carl to listen to him and to know he's there for carl and for carl to tell him he's there for jasper too.
