Neela Rasgotra quotes from E.R.

Gates

So, that's it- we're done?

Neela

Yeah.

Gates

Because Ray couldn't get over you?

Neela

No- because- you can stand there, as if you're listening to what I'm saying, and still believe that none of this is your fault.

Neela

[after Ray ends up in a hospital after being hit by a truck causing him to lose his legs] Is there anything I can do?

Ray

No.

Neela

Would you like me to tell anyone at County?

Ray

No. I really don't want you to do anything.

Neela

You know, I was so worried about you, I even went to our... your apartment.

Ray

Well, it's up for lease if you want to move back in. No ramps.

Neela

You know the night this... after you left the wedding, I tried calling you 'cause I wanted to talk, I was hoping...

Ray

I know, I know, I was checking the message when I got hit. So I know.

Ray

I've waited for you. I trusted you. I fought for you and I even fell in love with you. But for what? So you could just keep running back to Gates.

Neela

No, I'm not. That's what I've been trying to tell you. It's over. Tony and I are done.

Ray

Well, it doesn't really matter now, does it?

Abby

Trauma panel, and a catheterized urine. Sorry, we gotta do it.

Neela

Bollocks.

Neela]

You know, when Ray got hurt, I was in a lot of shock. We all were.

Poor you.

Neela

What happened to Ray had nothing to do with me. He's the one that got pissed drunk at Abby's wedding. He's the one who stumbled in front of that truck. Not me. Even he says that.

You done?

Neela

You can hate me as much as you like. I couldn't care less, but I will not take the blame for what happened to Ray. You got that?

Neela

Are you ever gonna tell me why you call me that?

Gates

May Day? Well, she was my favorite Bond girl. Grace Jones in A View To A Kill. Started off as a bad guy, then she saved the whole world. Hey, you're lucky. Could have been Pussy Galore.

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.

Dubenko

I'd like to discuss Zelinsky's progress.

Yeah, about that...

Dubenko

Tomorrow, not now.

Neela

Tomorrow?

Dubenko

Yeah, I don't want to say anything too cruel, which I'm at risk of doing if we discuss it at this moment, so we'll talk about Dr. Rain Man tomorrow.

Neela

Not every Indian has been to India, Morris.

Harold

It's like assuming every African-American has been to Africa.

Yeah, well, I mean, I just assumed... arranged marriages, India. Hello?

Harold

You assumed wrong, butt-head!

Neela

Jaspreet's gone, and she's never coming back.

Where'd she go?

Neela

Well, I could tell you that, but then I'd have to kill you. She asked me to relay the following: Archie, thank you for a wonderful night. It was great, but please stop calling. And don't ever call again. Ever. Harold, thank you for a wonderful night. It was great, but please stop calling. And don't ever call again. Ever. So, there you go. And I'd very much appreciate it if we never speak of this again. Ever.

Neela

If I can't operate, you're dead!

Wuss!

You hack!

Harold

Beeyotch!

Gates

Who are you yelling at, Harold?

Harold

I don't really know.

Frank

You should get one of those.

Neela

A husband or a baby?

Frank

Yeah.

Harold

Neela, it's over.

Neela

Was I not a good teacher? Did we not spend enough time together?

Harold

We both did our best to make this work.

Neela

Well, was it something I said, or didn't say?

Harold

It's not you, Neela. It's me.

Dubenko

[about Neela's dying patient] I know what it's like to be close to a patient, but you're not a little intern anymore and I expect you to handle bad outcomes like a professional.

Neela

What does that mean? That I should stop giving a damn?

Dubenko

No. It means that no matter how much we care, sometimes the people we try to save die.

Neela

Are you actually trying to rationalize this? 'Cause we both know you should never have left that room this morning!

Dubenko

That's enough. Please. There are more patients than there are doctors in this place and I can't be everywhere. None of this should be news to you, this is the job.

Brenner

I'm not going to beg, but one day you are going to wake up next to me and you are going to wonder, how did this happen? And I'm going to smile and remind you that I predicted this over coffees and chocolate glazed donuts.

Neela

You are a cocky bastard.

Brenner

Yeah, but I'd be a correct cocky bastard and that's all that would matter.
