In this short scene, we learn that Dr. Manette has agreed to take a leave of absence from her job for a period of twenty-one days to attend to an urgent medical matter. We learn that she has already asked for the leave, and that she is tired from watching the latest episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. She tells us that she does not want to see Manette anymore, and she tells him that she will keep him company these days. She asks him if he likes him, and he says that he does not, but that he will judge him on his merits
