Sam quotes from E.R.

Kerry

[During a fight involving a patient and her husband in the ER] Who's winning?

Neela was about to deck somebody with a bedpan.

Jerry

I've always wanted to see something like that.

It's hard to let go of a dream, isn't it, Jerry?

Luka

[about Steve being back in town] What do you wanna do?

I'm not gonna run away again. Especially not now. I don't want you to have to worry, it's my problem.

Luka

I kinda think it's our problem.

What are you feeling, Luka?

Luka

I'm happy! I'm happy and Sam's not. I don't know why. We're healthy, we enjoy each other... our work. We have a good life.

How does that make you feel, Sam?

Like hitting him over the head with a hammer.

So what brings you to me today?

[to Luka] After what happened to your wife and kids, you really wanna bring another baby into this world?

You had a family before?

He says he's happy and he can't even talk about it.

Luka

I had two children and a wife. They were killed years ago. I mean, how does it help us for me to talk about these things?

Because it's a huge part of who you are and you won't let me in!

Alex Taggart

Where's Luka?

He's at work.

Alex Taggart

You still fighting?

No.

Alex Taggart

We're gonna have to move again, aren't we?

Luka

How is he?

Full of crap, like always.

Luka

I meant Alex.

He's okay. He wants to spend some time alone with his dad, so... there's only ten more minutes of visiting hours, so I figure Steve can't screw him up that bad in ten minutes. God knows, I'm sure he'll try.

Luka

Alex is a good kid. He'll figure it out.

Goddamnit. That bastard. He couldn't care less about us, but that little boy loves him anyway.

Luka

I don't want what happened to my family to be the end of my story. I was a good father. I can be a good father again.

And what if it's not what I want?

Luka

Why don't you wanna have children with me?

It's not about you. I don't wanna have any more kids. I'm done.

Luka

Steve's in prison. You don't have to run anymore.

I'm not running. I just don't want what you want.

Luka

My father's been bugging me to visit. I haven't been home in a long time, and I have some vacation time coming up. So I was thinking about making a trip back to Croatia. It will only be for a couple of weeks. Maybe good for us to spend some time apart. Alex and you can hang out, and you know...

I've already started looking for a new place.

Luka

A new place?

For me and Alex.

Luka

You're moving out?

You just said you think it would be good for us to spend time apart.

Luka

That's not what I meant!

I was gonna tell you. I just think that it's... I need to think things out by myself.

Luka

Where are you going now?

I'm going to look for an apartment before work.

Luka

So what, we don't talk about this?

Never seemed to do us any good before.

Luka

I was thinking... I've been thinking. We let things get away from us. We don't have to leave it like that.

Luka...

Luka

No. A lot happened fast. Too fast. Maybe we should just take our time. Make sure we know what we're doing. I don't want this to be one more thing I messed up.

We're pretending, Luka. I don't want to pretend anymore.

Frank

Aren't you two supposed to keep 50 feet apart or something?

Bite me, Frank.

Frank

If you ask me, you're better off without her.

Luka

I didn't.

Eve

Management is a bitch.

Yeah, it's not the only one.

I've got lawyers, lady.

Yeah? Well, I've got Jerry, so unless you want to be carried out of here like a dirty diaper, I suggest you sit down. [Jerry glances over and puts on a tough-guy face]

...Come on, Zoe. [they walk to the waiting room]

Jerry

[to Sam']'...You know, I abhor violence.

Yeah, I know that- but he doesn't.

Frank

Well, if it isn't the "Hatchet Lady." Which beloved employee are you axing today?

Stick a sock in it, Frank.

Frank

I'm sending Haleh her last check. You want to include a note?

Haleh was Eve's idea, Frank! I was just following orders.

Frank

That's what Himmler said.

Pratt

Clear. Ah.

Ray

Still V-fib. When's the last time you saw her?

Pratt

I told you, we were a block apart. Resuming compressions. Amiodarone's onboard?

Ray

Five minutes ago. You should've kept an eye on her.

Pratt

Pronestyl drip?

Infusing.

Pratt

What, you think you could've done better?

Ray

I wouldn't have let her go into a burning building, and I sure as hell wouldn't have left her there.
