Luka Kovač quotes from E.R.

Abby

Luka I think one of the kids from the coffee shop broke into the apartment.

Luka

I got breakfast.

Abby

I don't believe in breakfast.

Luka

It's the most important meal of the day.

Abby

That's never been medically proven.

Kerry

The board is full, gurneys are lining in the halls. We've got another 30 in the rack. We desperately need to clear out the rooms and you're wasting your time on April fools' pranks. No more shenanigans for the rest of the day. Have I made myself clear?

Malik

Uh, yes. Yes, ma'am.

Yosh

Uh huh.

Kerry

Dave!

Dave

[after being awoken by Abby, dazed] Yeah.

Kerry

How much did you give him?

Luka

Ten milligrams.

Kerry

Okay, I want you to take a nap.

Dave

I'm fine.

Kerry

What did I just say?

Dave

Go take a nap.

Kerry

Before that.

Dave

Uh, no more fooling around.

Kerry

That's right. Now get back to work.

Kerry

Malucci!

Dave

It wasn't me, I swear.

Abby

[at the ER team softball game] I like you in that hat.

Luka

Makes me look American, eh?

Luka

[After flirting with a waitress] I was trying to have fun. Is that a crime?

Abby

No. Go have fun. If I can be left waiting in the street, I can certainly walk home by myself.

Luka

Why do you have to make such a big problem out of everything. Like you have an insect in your anus?

Abby

Hey, it's "bug up my ass", Luka. 'Bug up my ass." If you're gonna insult me, you can at least get the words right.

Luka

Fine. How's this? Stop being such a bitch.

Abby

OK, fine. As soon as you grow up.

Luka

Right, you're so mature. Abby, you don't even know what you want!

Abby

Yes, I do. I wanna go home.

Luka

You play games like a schoolgirl who can have any boy and treats them all like crap!

Abby

You know, why don't you just call me a whore and get it over with!

Luka

I'm tired of it! You're not that pretty and you're not that special!

Abby

I'm pretty enough in the dark though, aren't I?

Luka

You're never happy! I don't think you're capable of being happy.

Abby

Happy? Six months ago, you didn't care about whether or not I was happy.

Luka

If you're not depressed or ashamed, you're just angry.

Abby

And you're married to a ghost!

Luka

At least I treat you with respect.

Abby

Oh, I know. You're a saint, Luka.

Abby

Right. I know. You're always so good and I'm always so bad...

Luka

I'm sick of being patient.

Abby

And I'm such a mess and you're so understanding.

Luka

I've put up with a lot, Abby.

Abby

Ah! And I'm a burden.

Luka

Carter, your mother, your moods...

Abby

Why don't you just break up with me?

Luka

I think you want me to.

Abby

If I'm such a horrible person, how could you possibly want to be with me?

Luka

I don't know how to be with you! I don't know how to help you!

Abby

I don't want help! I don't want help. I don't want to be pitied. I don't want to be saved.

Luka

Okay. I give up.

Abby

Okay. What does that mean? What does that mean? What does that mean?

Luka

I'm done! I'm done, okay? Carter can have you!

Abby

Okay.

Luka

Are you angry with me?

No, of course not.

Luka

Do you think I'm angry with you?

I hope not.

Luka

Then why? I thought we both felt the same.

You're a good person, but you talked yourself into loving me. This isn't real. I'll leave the key inside.

Luka

I made an OB appointment for Friday.

That's not necessary.

Luka

It is.

No, it's not. I'm not pregnant. I felt safe for the first time in a long time... I didn't want to lose you. So, I made it up, Luka. I'm sorry. I made it all up. [walks away]

Abby

I haven't seen you around lately.

Luka

I've been working nights.

Abby

How's your Christmas?

Luka

Quiet. What'd you do for New Year's?

Abby

I worked.

Luka

That's always fun.

Abby

Did you make any resolutions?

Luka

Uhm... Help out more.

Abby

Help out more where? Here?

Luka

Uh, no. Europe. I've volunteered to go to Bosnia for two months with [w:Médecins Sans Frontières|Doctors Without Borders]].

Abby

Bosnia?

Luka

Yeah. I speak the language.

Abby

What brought this on?

Luka

I don't know. Change of scenery?

I don't have a problem with you, man, ok-

Luka

I have a problem with you.

I got angry- It was a mistake.

Luka

You hit women by mistake? Huh?

I screwed up!

Luka

Let's see you hit me, huh? [shoves Brian back and continues advancing]

I didn't mean to, come on- [Luka slaps him] I lost my temper!

Luka

Lose your temper with me! [shoves Brian back into the pool-cue rack; the bar goes quiet]

Ok, I'm gonna go to the cops right now and turn myself in- [Luka socks him in the jaw, then grabs him and yanks him upright] Wait, just wait!

Luka

Better start swinging back! [shoves him back and punches him again]

Wait!! [in tears] I was wrong, I got angry- She took away my wife!

Luka

You took away your wife! (throws Bryan against the pool table)

[sobbing and bleeding from his mouth] I know, I know, I know... but I loved her! She was everything to me, and I lost her- [Luka grabs him by the collar and raises his fist] I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I won't mess with Abby again. I won't. [pause] I won't even talk to her. I'll move, I'll move out of the building! Please, I'm sorry. Please...

Luka

[quietly] You touch her again... I'll kill you.

Abby

You look tired.

Luka

Yeah, I was up late.

Abby

Oh really, what's her name?

Luka

Who?

Abby

It's a joke, Luka.

Luka

No, seriously, if you need a place...

Abby

Thank you.

Luka

You can stay as long as you need, and you only have to sleep with me on the weekends.

Abby

Excuse me?

Luka

It's a joke, Abby. It's a joke.

Luka

[about Abby] She's a big girl, Carter.

Carter

Yeah, with a drinking problem.

Luka

I don't tell people how to live.

Carter

She was living in your house.

Luka

I didn't make her start drinking again.

Carter

You didn't stop her.

Luka

She's not a drunk.

Carter

Yes, she is. Are you stupid or do you just not give a damn about her? Or do you want her to keep drinking, is that it? You like 'em a little vulnerable so you can play the caring brooding comforter?

Luka

Don't push your luck, Carter.

Carter

What are you gonna do? Beat me up? You're gonna bash my head into the ground?

Luka

Get out of my way.

Carter

If you're not helping her, you're hurting her.

Abby

And the moral of the story is?

Luka

Never sleep with a patient's mother.

Abby

At least not until the labs are back.

Luka

Maybe you could wear some Swastikas with that outfit. You could be a naughty Nazi nurse.

Abby

You totally suck, you know that?

Luka

Hey, careful! Creating a hostile work environment!

Chuny

[about Luka] I'm not working with him.

Abby

Why?

Chuny

Because he treats nurses like idiots!

Luka

Hey, if your boots fit!

Abby

Shoes.

Luka

Whatever.

Carter

Commuting on skis!

Luka

What?

Carter

Skiing to work.

Luka

Yeah, I don't live far. Nice coat.

Carter

Goodwill box.

Luka

Hey, did you find him?

Carter

Who?

Luka

Abby's brother.

Carter

Um, I'm just gonna try and catch a train to Midway and wait for it to open up.

Luka

Where are you going?

Carter

Nebraska. She's already there. She left last night.

Luka

Didn't go with her?

Carter

I had a shift.

Luka

Oh.

Carter

I sent Gallant with her.

Luka

Gallant?

Carter

Yeah. Why?

Susan

You're late.

Luka

Blame my alarm clock.

Susan

What's her name?
