Haha, yeah I love that line.
I've always found it a little strange that Erin accepts a cup of coffee from a house that is clearly affected by the contaminated water. I know it's boiled and most of the bad stuff will be removed...but it'd still be a risk.

But if he didn't, he would have come across as someone who didn't care about what they thought about him. Like a doctor with no bedside manner.

In the script, there is a scene when Erin gets a sudden nosebleed, and George says "you know how that happened," meaning that her exposure in Hinkley caused her illness.

Love that line!

I love it too. Besides just being a funny line, it speaks of the importance of doing those little things for people—in this case, accepting an offer for coffee and cake—that make big differences. I would’ve stayed too—long drive or not—because it the was the decent thing to do.

Yes, I thought it was funny that he had to be reminded that its the little things that count. They didnt see him as one of them, Erin, much more so.

I wish they had filmed the nosebleed.

Imagine driving all the way to Hinkley, if only for a half-day trip. You can avoid eating, but in that desert, you'd need water. I wonder what went through their minds being handed something as simple as a glass of (contaminated) water.
