John Carter quotes from E.R.

Luka

OK, listen up! OK, first of all, you should all eat and drink well, because the party's on Weaver.

Carter

That is a surprise.

Luka

You guys who are still on duty, don't let me see a beer in your hand.

Pratt

Eleven years, couldn't we spring for some caviar for the man?

Luka

Anyway, ah, there's something my father would say when a friend went on a journey. And, he said it to me when I came to the United States first. So I thought of it today when I realized I wouldn't be working with this guy anymore. Not for a long time at least. Ah... my father would clasp the person's hand and say: We only part to meet again.

Stephen Dakarai

She was like this in the Congo?

Carter

She was worse.

Debbie

At least in the Congo we had television... beer... I'm not saying anything about anyone's religion, but this place would drive anybody to drink.

Carter

Looks like you followed my advice, Archie.

How's that?

Carter

You set the tone.

Banfield

So tell me, when did you first work here?

Carter

I was a med student in the ER in 1994.

Banfield

You know Mark Greene, then?

Carter

Yeah. I knew Mark Greene. Yup. I learned a lot from him.

Banfield

...When can you start?

Carter

Does anybody know when he's coming? How about a rough estimate? More than a minute, less than a hockey season? More than an hour, but less than the lifespan of a giant redwood tree.

Benton

Carter.

Carter

I'm so hungry, thirsty. I'm tired. I'm cold. My arm just fell asleep.

Benton

Stop being a baby.

Carter

Plus I feel like I'm hanging out of this thing. Can someone cover up my crotch please?

Carter

Ill begotten gains of my Carter forefathers put to good use.

Kerry

Redemption?

Carter

Maybe so.

Susan

Your grandma would be so proud.

Carter

Grandfather's rolling over in his grave. He thought the Carter fortune would last longer than the pyramids.

Susan

You spent it all?

Carter

No. But most of it.

Kerry

You've done a great thing here, John. Truly great.

Kerry

Well I - I can't believe you were actually able to pull this off.

Carter

You had doubts?

Kerry

No. I-I was pretty sure you were gonna fail.

[as victims are arriving] Dr. Carter?

Carter

What? I'm sorry. What?

Are you okay?

Carter

Yeah. A little deja vu.

[as he is wheeling in a patient] Carter. You working?

Carter

Absolutely!

Come on!

Carter

[to Rachel as he's taking a patient into the ER] Dr. Greene. You coming? [Rachel runs after him]
