Greg Pratt quotes from E.R.

I'm getting my pretty boy on for my last night with Hope. I ordered the works package. I can't wait.

Frank

It's gonna take more than the works to save that mug of yours.

Oh my God, so mean.

Pratt

That's his baseline. You'll get used to it.

Okay, you're feeling some pressure? Excellent. Name me three bacteria for neonatal sepsis.

Pratt

Bend over and kiss my ass.

Those are not bacteria!

Pratt

So, Harold, how do you like your iPod?

Yeah, it's cool.

Neela

Abdomen's soft and non-tender.

Pratt

I remember when you had to go to the record store to buy music.

Harold

I bought my first CD when I was 10.

Chuny

Sonosite's ready.

Pratt

So, when was that, like mid-'90s? Eminem? Huh?

Harold

He wasn't around yet.

Pratt

Right, right. Probably, uh, Spice Girls then?

Harold

Mozart Clarinet Concert in A Major, Richard Stoltzman, soloist.

Frank

So did the Medical Board make another deadly error in judgment?

Pratt

Yes they have, Frank, I passed.

Jeanie

You're not so bad, Dr. Pratt.

Pratt

I know. It usually takes people a while, but I eventually win them over.

Abby

I was a bad friend, I was a bad doctor, I was a bad wife, I was a bad mother, uh...

Pratt

No. We see bad mothers come to here, all the time and you do not qualify. We all have flaws, Abby, but how many of us actually work to fix them?

Why? Why would God do that? Why would he have me kill 17 people to save one?

Pratt

We may not understand it, but that little boy is alive because you were there! Now, whatever you need that to count for, it counts!

[takes a long pause, then shakes his head and buries his face in his hands] It doesn't make sense.

Pratt

[places his hand gently on Dr. Truman's shoulder] It doesn't have to make sense. That's why it's called faith.

Pratt

[Two elderly patients start bickering] Larry, Laverne, they're all yours.

Brenner

You think those two can handle it?

Pratt

Yeah, I think they could handle a lot if you'd let them.

Brenner

That's right, you said that before.

Pratt

You know, no disrespect Brenner, but you're making it real hard for me to respect you. You're taking the procedures away from the residents, you're not even letting them do physicals.

Brenner

They don't know what they're doing.

Pratt

They've been to med school.

Brenner

So what, look you've either got it or you don't.

Pratt

Excuse me?

Brenner

You know what I'm talking about. Some people catch on, other people never get it.

Pratt

Yeah but it's our job to train them.

Brenner

That is sweet Greg, but it's also a complete waste of time.

Pratt

Are you serious?

Brenner

Look, I teach people that can benefit.

Pratt

And what about Larry and Laverne?

Brenner

They're, they're adorable, and eager, and absolutely clueless. Look I could spoon feed them everything I know, and it'd just pass straight through them like a bad case of cholera.

Pratt

And so what do you suggest instead?

Brenner

Encourage them to find new careers.

Pratt

I don't know where you came from, but this is a teaching hospital. So if you can't accept the fact that everybody needs to learn, then you don't belong here.

Brenner

Okay, sorry, remind me again Greg, you're not the chief of the department, right?

Pratt

No I'm not.

Brenner

Okay, that's great. So you do things your way, and I'll stick with the way that works. Now, my shift's over, it's been an absolute pleasure, but I gotta go, I got a date, I got two actually.

Pratt

Hey I'm not the only one that thinks...

Brenner

Night, Dr. Pratt

Brenner is not so bad. I think he has a refreshing energy.

Pratt

And I think you've got a man crush.

Don't be ridiculous. Why?

Pratt

I see the way you look at him.

Just because I can see the appeal of another man... [Pratt raises one eyebrow] Forget it!

Brenner

What's the rush, Dr. Pratt?

Pratt

It's a personal appointment.

Brenner

How much is she?

Pratt

[laughing] Luckily your mom gives me a discount.

Pratt

Hey, Abby. It's a beautiful spring day, the Cubs are playing at Wrigley Field, and we live in America.

Abby

I think I solved the case of the missing Lexapro.

Pratt

Sorry. I was looking for some un-depressed person that I could be happy around, and uh... heh.

Abby

You chose me? Must be slim pickings.
