I do not understand the timing of the argument after Schmidt dies.

You know on the roof when Bishop throws the chair? What exact time period after that night does this take place?

This seemed to be the following morning as Muir was still in his tuxedo from the prior evening. I think there was a miss in the dialogue as Bishop says "F#ck your rules Nathan" and then Muir says something to the effect of "Okay, but tonight my rules kept you alive". I think he should have said "last nite my rules kept you alive".
I almost numchucked you, you don't even realize!

That is what I could not figure out. Not sure why they did not fix that.

I don't think it needed fixing This conversation took place at the end of a long and stressfull "shift".
If you're working long hours, it doesn't really matter what the time is, your day ends when you go to sleep. At least that's my experience.

I'm with you Puccini.
Also, even if that weren't the case "tonight" doesn't feel that off.
But really I think you're right. Both of them had been awake all night and for all we know the might be like 4 or 5 in the morning which still makes it "tonight" in my book.

Yup that was my take too. Just a trick of the language I guess. I mean, when I wake up at 2:37am I don't think "What am I doing up in the beginning of the morning?" I think "Middle of the night."
