Greg Pratt quotes from E.R.

Pratt

[to Morris after finding him in the men's restroom] You're a second-year resident, not a med student. You can't be calling your mother, father, your cousin who's a podiatrist to help get you through a shift. Now, get on the floor and do your damn job! And for God's sake, light a match or something.

Pratt

You know what? It's Friday. I don't do lost causes on Friday. It's a religious thing.

Pratt

Okay, either those are the good guys and we're saved or the bad guys and we're dead. Either way, I'm done walking.

Pratt

Gates is a knuckle-head who would defibrillate with a car battery and some jumper cables.

Pratt

[to Brenner] You know, I know this is your first day and I really don't want to embarrass you, but this is a teaching hospital, so that means that you have to actually teach! You see, those guys look up to us as examples... [looks at the medical students in the next room] So this is me, trying to preserve their illusion that you are actually, worthy of the admiration. Okay?

Pratt

Do I seem like a punk to you?

Mark

No.

Pratt

Then how about you stop trying to treat me like one.

Pratt

I need to clamp off the aorta with... that big-ass clamp!

Carter

If you don't know what it's called, then you sure as hell shouldn't be using it!

Pratt

You can do the rectal.

The rectal?

Carter

Play nice, kids. Don't make me stop this trauma.

Carter

Abby is the Obi-Wan Kenobi of nursing.

Pratt

What does that make you, Yoda?

Carter

Learn from her you will.

Pratt

I just want to say thanks for backing me up like that.

Carter

A chief resident and a cardiologist with more than 25 years of experience pronounce a man dead and you decide to resurrect him.

Pratt

Yes, but just like you said...

Carter

You think I defended you because I like you or because I approve of the way that you practice medicine? You are my responsibility. You are my job.

Pratt

And I'm doing mine.

Carter

If you wanted to shock, you could've stat paged me overhead. I could have been here in a second and we could have discussed it. Instead, you go off without any regard for authority or even the best interest of your patient.

Pratt

Now, that's not true. I mean, the guy's got kids, he's got a wife. I was just trying to save him...

Carter

You brought the man back, Pratt because you felt like it. Because you wanted to see if you could.

Chen

[while she & Pratt are sorting through severed fingers] You think this is a pinkie or a ring?

Pratt

Looks like a cocktail weenie.

Pratt

I can't believe a guy comes in here with three bullet holes and nobody called me.

Abby

You are such a trauma queen.

Frank

Since when is Santa scary?

Pratt

Since he looks like a fat, old homeless dude.

Carter

Well, we work as a team. We cover for each other. We lean on each other. The job is too big to do solo. And if you can't get that, maybe you should be a surgeon or a superhero, or something else that doesn't require trusting people.

Pratt

I've never been big on trust.

Carter

You know what that turns into? Nobody trusts you either. Self-sufficiency is a good thing, but it's not the only thing. Asking for help when you need it doesn't make you weak.

Pratt

Women don't know what the hell they want! Am I right? I'm right, right? They don't want a commitment until you give it to 'em, then they want their freedom. So, naturally, you oblige. Then they accuse you of trying to be with somebody else. I'm telling you, you can't win.

Carter

Women can be hard to figure out sometimes.

Pratt

Sometimes? Now you know who's got it all figured out I think? Homosexuals. No, I'm serious. Just listen to me. Look, there's two guys living together: toilet seat's always up, channel's always on ESPN. You can drink beers in the bed, leave your clothes on the floor. I'm telling you, gay cats got it good.

Carter

Why are you telling me this?

Pratt

I have no idea.
