Neela Rasgotra quotes from E.R.

Barnett

So, that Brenner guy...

Neela

Uh-huh?

Barnett

Kinda seems like a dick.

Barnett

Uh, who's that?

Neela

Uh, new Chief of the ER.

Barnett

Another one. How many does that make?

Neela

I've lost count.

Brenner

[about Neela's lawsuit] Look, I'll speak to Anspaugh, and I bet it'll get tossed out.

Neela

Yeah, it better, or else I'll be doing a ho stroll down Division street.

Dubenko

Are you coming to the Christmas party this year?

Neela

Yes. As long as it's not like last year.

Dubenko

Why, what happened?

Neela

Greg pinched my butt!

Brenner

You worked at the Jumbo Mart?

Neela

Uh, yeah, a few years ago. I was sorting things out. Wanted to make sure medicine was right for me.

Frank

Thank God she came back.

Neela

Thanks Frank, that's sweet.

Frank

You never made the right change.

Neela

Why do you have to be so damn...

Brenner

What? Charming, sexy, kind of good at math?

Neela

Ok, yes, I did think about you the whole time you were away. You happy now?

Brenner

Yes. Why are you so mad?

Neela

Because I like you. I don't want to, but I do, and I... want to be with you. There, I said it. Just go ahead and gloat now.

Brenner

Gloat? Why would I gloat?

Neela

Because you predicted it. Go ahead. You know you want to.

Brenner

I'd rather do something else. [leans over and they kiss]

Neela

What about your parents? Do you have brothers and sisters? I don't know anything about you.

Brenner

Aliens dropped me from a spaceship just outside of Perth as a fully formed adult in 2007. I'm two in Earth years, but I really love this planet.

Neela

Look, a terrible thing was done to you. I understand that. I hate that it happened. But somewhere, in all of what's gone on between us, one thing is clear--we're not meant to be together. Doesn't mean we don't care about each other deeply but... You know, I truly believe there's something better out there for both of us, whenever we're ready for it.

Brenner

Better.

Neela

Something more right.

How much time do we have?

Neela

Eight hours. Eight hours until this heart needs to be beating in a chest or we might as well chop it up and use it a shepherd's pie.

[Bringing in coffee and bagels] The cappuccino machine is broken, so no lattes.

Neela

No lattes in Seattle. Is that some sort of cruel joke?
