Robert Romano quotes from E.R.

[as he treats Romano's burned arm] I'm not sure why you'd want an "affirmative action imbecile" fixing you up, but if you're trying to humiliate me...

Romano

Zip it. You've demonstrated a certain amount of integrity. Now, that won't last long if you keep working here, but for the time being, it suits my purposes. I'd prefer to keep this between us.

Romano

[looking at arm] You forgot "idiot"

Elizabeth

I'll be there Robert...

Romano

Just the same... "Idiot".

Romano

This department is a money pit!

Kerry

We have more people coming through the door everyday and we're legally obligated to treat them.

Romano

Which is why we should grab some wood, nail the entrance shut, and paint "Go Away" in big letters.

How's the stump feeling?

Romano

It's suffering from delusions of grandeur. It still thinks it's an arm.

I can prepare another letter to the insurance company.

Romano

I've got two letters for the insurance company; "F" and "U"!

Romano

You really are one grade-A bitch, you know that, Kerry?

Kerry

No, Robert, I'm your boss, and as long as I am, you're my bitch. Now get your ass back to work.

Romano

Did you get rid of those nurses?

Jerry

Yeah. They, uh, they went up to nursing administration saying something about hiring a hitman.

Frank

Hell hath no fury like an RN scorned.

Romano

Let's get a few things straight, all right, nut meat? One: we don't offer remedial medicine here. Two: you don't talk to me, I talk to you. Three...

Should I be writing this down?

Romano

[shouting] Stay out of my face!

Romano

Please tell me she works here...

Sam Taggart, new nurse!

Romano

Miss Haldol, there's nothing I find sexier than a mute girl covered in blood, so keep your head down and your mouth shut.

You remind of a guy I used to date. He's dead.

Romano

So, what's today's excuse for Triage being a stinking, overpopulated cesspool of humanity?

The healthcare system?

Romano

Yeah, well, if things get too locked up, you can try stabbing some of these deadbeats in the neck. That ought to have them running to Northwestern.

Susan

[after Dr. Romano's robotic hand grabs Sam's butt and she unhooks it from its socket] What are you doing?

He just grabbed my ass. [gives the hand to Lewis] Here, take this to church and have it exorcised.

Romano

That's right, you keep walking! Right up to the nursing director's office 'cause by the time you get there, there'll be a pink slip waiting for you.

Good! Give me plenty of time to file my sexual harassment lawsuit!

Romano

Do you mind?

Susan

Yes, I do. You can have it back by the end of the day if you learn to behave!

Romano

Give me my damned hand back!

Romano

Do I need to remind you that I'm in charge here?

Susan

You'll have to convince me first.
