Kerry Weaver quotes from E.R.

Romano

You had better choose your battles very carefully. You are the Chief of Emergency Medicine, not the County's lesbian advocate.

Kerry

That's where you are wrong, Robert, because I am both. I am the Chief of Emergency Medicine and I am a lesbian. And if you pursue this matter any further I will take it to the County Board of Supervisors, the ACLU, the press, and anyone else who will listen. So, I suggest you choose your battles very carefully.

Dave

Look, you didn't answer your page. We had to make a quick decision.

Kerry

You know what? That's your job! You make quick decisions based on the information available. You had the right information. You didn't bother to look at it.

Dave

You've never made a bad call?

Kerry

Not as stupid and lethal as this one.

Dave

Then show up and make it yourself. We paged you three times!

Kerry

In a perfect world, Dr. Malucci, I wouldn't subject any patients to your care. If you knew your ass from your elbow or even gave a damn...

Dave

I do give a damn. I do give a damn.

Kerry

This man might still be alive!

Kerry

Doctors are human. We make mistakes.

Romano

If this guy had been properly diagnosed and sent straight to the OR without TNK he'd still be flipping burgers at McDonald's.

Kerry

Marfan's is difficult to detect. The residents have never heard of it.

Romano

Which is why we have attendings.

Kerry

I can't be everywhere at every moment.

Romano

Wrong answer. As we speak, "The Trib" is writing a feature story on this screw-up and the rise in preventable deaths. So you either come up with a better excuse than "doctors are human" or find yourself a good old-fashioned scapegoat.

Dave

Hey, this isn't about my performance, is it? Or my rotations. You just don't like me.

Kerry

You're right. I don't like you. You have no respect for me, your colleagues, this hospital, anything. You like to think you have this whole cowboy approach to medicine, but you don't have the goods to back it up, so you make mistakes. Mistakes that kill people.

Dave

I need this job. You can't fire me. I have a kid to support.

Kerry

Since when? You never said anything about being a father.

Dave

Did you ever ask? You don't know a damn thing about me.

Kerry

I know you're fired.

Dave

You're a sad, cold-hearted bitch, you know that?

Kerry

Someone call Security.

Dave

You may not like me, lady, but nobody here likes you.

Kerry

Get out.

Dave

You wanna know why this damn ER is so important to you, huh? Because it's the only thing you've got in your life. [he takes off his ID badge and throws it at Weaver] Nazi dyke.

Mark

[after Weaver fires Malucci] You can't get rid of him just because the two of you don't get along. Hell, if that were the case, you'd have to fire all of us.

Kerry

You know what? I'm not gonna justify my point of view to you!

Kerry

You scheduled meetings with my Residents without telling me?

Romano

I'm sorry. Did you not get the memo?

Kerry

What memo?

Romano

The one that says I run the place.

Kerry

I want you to know I went on record against this, but the administration...

Chen

Am I being fired, Kerry?

Kerry

No. No, no, of course not. You're on a year's probation and subject to a month's suspension without pay. I argued your case to the best of my ability, but Risk Management feels that given your history they needed to take corrective measures to mitigate any further incidents.

Chen

My history?

Kerry

The guide wire.

Chen

God, you're gonna use that?

Kerry

You'll also have to resign your Chief Residency.

Chen

What?

Kerry

I understand how upsetting this must...

Chen

What about you? Are you going to resign anything?

Kerry

My involvement, or lack thereof, is not at issue.

Chen

Yeah, yeah. You made sure of that.

Kerry

Look, this is only a temporary setback, after which you'll be back on track.

Chen

Were you even wearing your pager that night?

Kerry

This isn't about me. Someone obviously misdialed.

Chen

Yeah, just blame everyone but yourself, Kerry.

Kerry

Look, I'm sorry that this had to happen.

Chen

You are not sorry. Just relieved.

Kerry

Jing-Mei, I...

Chen

Go to hell, Kerry. I quit.

Kerry

[about Chen] Look, I'm gonna miss her too. This saddens me too. It's easy for you to be upset and angry when you don't have to manage the situation, but guess what? I'm angry and upset, okay? I mean, I think it sucks only I don't have anyone to complain to.

Mark

You're asking me to feel sorry for you now?

Kerry

No. I just wanted you to know what was going on.

He [Romano] also told me to stay away from you if I am going to survive medical school.

Kerry

Well, nobody actually listens to Dr. Romano down here.

Yeah, I kind of figured that.

Romano

Dr. Weaver, glad I caught you. [to Gallant] You can go away now.

Romano

I was going to have you paged, but I couldn't be sure you'd be wearing your pager.

Kerry

Robert, you're not going to be intimidated by these baseless accusations?

Romano

Oh, they have someone on record, Kerry.

Kerry

About what?

Romano

Some waitress at that dump across the street said that you were in there looking for your pager the night Chen and Malucci killed that guy. It's an important detail, don't you think?

Kerry

Robert...

Romano

I don't need to hear it, Kerry. No explanation, no spin. Just fix it.

Kerry

Fix what?

Romano

All she wants is an attending position with standard pay scale and a personal apology from you.

Kerry

No, I... I can't do that.

Romano

Well, there's a first time for everything.

Kerry

I wouldn't have any kind of authority over her.

Romano

We've settled with this dead kid's family. I am not going to open it back up again because you have a management problem created by your own negligence and deceit. She's not interested in taking down you or the hospital. All she wants is her job back. Give it to her today. And super-glue that pager to your forehead if you have to.

Kerry

You know, eventually this has to stop. This attitude, this resentment you have towards me.

Chen

Does it?

Kerry

We have to work together. I can't allow patient care to be compromised because you don't like me.

Chen

I wouldn't let that happen.

Kerry

Good. Because the last thing I need is a divisive medical staff.

Chen

Then maybe you should quit.

Frank

So, you're gay, huh?

Kerry

Yeah, Frank, I'm gay. All right?

Frank

You know you're going to Hell, right?

Kerry

Who let Reverend Ed in?

You know the preacher?

Kerry

He's a holy pain in the ass. Get rid of him.

Me?

Kerry

In about 10 minutes, he's going to start trying to heal people. It's bad for business.

Abby

I was hall monitor for a day in the 5th grade and they fired me for selling passes to the other kids.

Kerry

Well, I'm sure you've matured since.

Abby

Not that much really.

Weaver

You hit another doctor?

Yeah, Dr. Pratt

Weaver

Oh. Well in that case, I'll overlook it.
