Luka Kovač quotes from E.R.

Dr. Kovac! Tell me you did not put a splint on my kid's arm.

Luka

I'm sorry, but we're busy trying to find a man's finger right now.

Yeah, and the reason it's missing, is because instead of studying here like I told him, he's off with you playing doctor.

Frank

What?!

Not like that.

Luka

I'm sorry about the splint.

Look. I appreciate you trying to be his friend. I just don't want things to get weird. You're a good guy, I'm sure. But you don't know crap about raising kids. So thanks for the help, but no thanks. I got it covered. [Sam doesn't realize Luka had two children who were killed in the Croatian War]

Luka

[Nods] OK.

Frank

42" plasma screen? Why would you get rid of that?

Luka

Well, the Congo isn't exactly HD-ready.

Kerry

What are you doing?

Luka

I need to fix my resignation letter.

Kerry

So, you broke into my office?!

Luka

The door was open. I'm changing the date of my last shift.

Kerry

Let me guess: sooner?

Luka

Actually, later.

Kerry

...You want to be a little more specific?

Luka

No. Not right now, anyway.

Kerry

Well, then let me know when you decide.

Luka

See you tomorrow, Kerry. [walks out]

Kerry

Stay outta my inbox!

Carter

[about Kem] You never met her?

Luka

No. She must have gotten past me.

Luka

[after Abby has been introduced to Kem] Ah, they met after I left.

Abby

What'd he do? Knock her up ten minutes after that?

Actually, I was thinking. It might be a good time to take a break.

Luka

What?

You know, just take it slower. You know what I'm saying.

Luka

Uh, no I don't.

We're not exclusive, right? We're just, like, dating or whatever. No commitment, no strings, no co-parenting. Just keep it casual, OK?

Luka

OK.

Luka

No, it was fine.

Because, when I said before... I didn't mean we shouldn't see each other at all. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

Luka

You want things to be casual.

Right. But if it's a choice between something serious or nothing, maybe serious is the way to go.

Luka

[about Gillian] She has a boyfriend.

That's nice.

Luka

You said you didn't want to be exclusive!

I said it four days ago!

Luka

I forgot she was coming.

You know what, I don't care. It's fine, Luka.

Luka

It's fine?

You think I really care how many French girls you're screwing? You already nailed every nurse in the ER!

Luka

How's the Psych rotation?

Abby

Kind of scary.

Luka

The patients?

Abby

No, me. I like it.

Luka

[sighs] What are you doing, Sam?

This is what I do, you know that. I don’t stay in one place that long.

Luka

How long are you going to keep doing that?

As long as I have to.

Sure I can.

Luka

This isn’t just about Steve.

Sorry, sometimes there’s a little collateral damage. I have to do this for Alex.

Luka

From what I can tell, it’s not working for him.

Yeah well, he’s 10, he doesn’t know what’s working for him.

Luka

Is this the life you want for him? For yourself?

[opens her mouth as if to say something, but is speechless] I don’t know what else to do.

Luka

Go to your car and follow me back to Chicago. You don’t have to do this alone, I’m here, you can trust me.

That’s not something I’m good at.

Luka

Why not give it a try? It can’t be any worse than this, can it?

Luka

You’re not sleepy? You will get cold like that.

He’ll come back [Sam moves away from Luka.] We won’t have any idea when. Sleeping in one morning or on our way home from a movie, and he’ll just show up.

Luka

We’ll deal with that.

I don’t know why you would want to. [she looks into Alex’s room where he is sleeping]

Luka

I can think of a reason. [Luka closes the window.] This place is too small. You should both come and live with me.

What?

Luka

My apartment has two floors. Alex can sleep downstairs.

Luka! If we all move in together it is going to be because it is something we all want, not because you think we need to be protected!

Luka

Hey.

Luka

Hey! [Sam stops and turns and Luka picks up the frying pan.] Scrambled or fried?

Poached!

Luka

Poached?

Carter

I don't know what happened.

Luka

You had a rough time. It's not hard to understand.

Carter

I guess. I just thought it would help somehow.

Luka

Help what? What else is going on?

Carter

Nothing. I'm fine.

Luka

You looked bad all day. I wasn't the only one who noticed.

Carter

Well, I did get hit in the head by a psycho patient.

Luka

You can talk to me, John.

Carter

I've been having trouble sleeping. I keep having these dreams. I miss her. And I miss the baby. And I miss all the stuff I thought we were going to have. And I don't know how to get any of it back.

Luka

I wasn't trying to be a hero this morning. I asked you to move in because I... I love you. I'm in love with you, And I thought, I don't know, maybe you feel the same.

Did you just say that?

Luka

I spend too much time wasting time. So whenever you're ready, just let me know.

You left me alone in there.

Luka

We had two traumas.

Abby

Yeah. And last week, I had to get approval for everything I do and now all of a sudden, I'm supposed to run a code by myself!

Luka

Welcome to internship.
