Carol Hathaway quotes from E.R.

Carol

What are you thinking about?

I'm thinking I'm not feeling the cold.

Carol

Yeah?

Yeah. And I'm thinking that cat will come out when she's good and ready.

Carol

Probably.

And I'm thinking if I look at you one more second, I'm gonna have to kiss you.

Carol

I needed to think.

Doug

About what?

Carol

About you and me. And the engagement and the vows and the rings. I think we're rushing into this. I don't think we're ready.

Doug

I'm ready. But you aren't?

Carol

When I was talking to Greg Powell, it got intense and... and I kissed him. It didn't go any further than that, but it was one of those moments, you know? I didn't want it to...

Doug

Okay, that's good. I just wanted to make sure you were safe and sound. [picks up his coat]

Carol

Doug! I am so sorry!

Doug

Yep, me too. [leaves]

Carol

What if the elevator moves? You could get killed!

Doug

Well, then you won't have to worry about a commitment.

Carol

Doug, I'm serious!

Elizabeth

Carol, Anna, do you two have plans this evening?

Carol

You know I did and then I didn't and now I don't know anymore.

Elizabeth

You, Carol, have something that I really envy.

Carol

What?

Elizabeth

A sex life!

Anna

Cheers to that!

Carol

I have no complaints in that department!

Carol

[to Doug and Mark] I don't know what you two are doing, but I have plans for this evening. So have fun.

Mark

Together again.

Doug

Do you think of me as diplomatic?

Carol

What does that have to do with it?

Doug

Answer the question.

Carol

Well, it's not the first word that springs to mind, no.

Doug

What would the first word be that springs to mind?

Carol

Um, stubborn. Opinionated. Insouciant.

Doug

Insouciant?

Carol

Look it up.

Carol

After my father was gone, my mom used to go on and on about how you can never depend on men. Now she's head over heels and I'm the one holding back. How messed up is that?

Doug

It keeps me on my toes.

Carol

I say I want time, but the truth is I'm scared to death of losing you.

Doug

Well, don't be.

Carol

I'm so sorry, Doug.

Doug

Don't be.

Carol

I love you.

Doug

I love you, too.

Kerry

[as the baby is coding from a ketamine drip, after discovering Ross and Hathaway working on him] What's going on?

Mark

I found Doug in exam four detoxing this baby.

Kerry

[Furious] What?

Mark

I found him by accident.

Kerry

Carol, did you know about this?

Carol

I was helping him.

Kerry

Helping him?

Carol

The baby was stable...

Kerry

Yeah, this is a violation of every ER policy. Tell them I'll bring him up, set-up with basic too.

Doug

[as they're bringing the baby to the elevator] I'm going up with it too.

Kerry

Yeah, you're damn right. You're going, you're gonna explain this to the hospital administration and the executive committee. Let's go!

Mark

You lied to me, Doug. You looked me right in the eye and lied to me.

Carol

I was there because I wanted to be there, not because Doug asked me.

Mark

I'm sure you were. Doug can be pretty passionate about these kids.

Carol

Oh, give me a little credit, Mark. You think I'm a fresh-faced nursing student who can't resist the doctor's spell?

Mark

I'm only saying that Legal and Administration are going to be going over every detail of this case. And I'd hate to see it reflect badly on your record.

Carol

So, you're saying I should fudge my involvement?

Mark

Tell the truth. Tell them you were doing your job. Tell them you were assisting a doctor.

Carol

The truth is I insisted on being there because I believe Doug was working in the best interest of the patient. And that much is my responsibility. Every bit as much as it is his.

Carter

Hey, you guys just missed a good one. I sent a guy straight up to the OR. Perfed his intestine with a carrot.

Carol

A whole carrot?

Lucy

How do you swallow a whole carrot?

Carter

Didn't swallow.

Lucy

[embarrassed] Oh, I get it.

Carol

Mark time to get up.

Mark

I'll be right there...

Carol

Mark let's go it's 7:00.

Mark

I'm up, I'm up.

Doug

Hey Mark I don't want to have to throw cold water on you.

Mark

Oh, Doug is that you?

Carol

I need to fax this.

Jerry

Be my guest. Or do you want me to...?

Carol

Oh, no thanks, it's kind of personal. I'll do it myself if that's okay.

Jerry

Do I look like Kerry Weaver?

Carol

What? Mark, what?

Mark

Heartbeat.

Carol

Yes, Mark, Elizabeth already said that. What?

Elizabeth

No, what he means is... there's two heartbeats.

Carol

[shocked] Twins?!

Warm milk is nasty.

Carol

Really? And what are you having?

Double tall vanilla latte.

Carol

A latte. Don't you know that coffee stunts your growth?

That is so not true!

Carol

Do your parents let you drink it?

What are you, the coffee police?
