Lucy Knight quotes from E.R.

Lucy

At least your residents acknowledge your existence. Mine don't even know I'm here. I get more respect from this rubber arm.

Hey, Luc, did you just get here?

Lucy

Bernard, what are you doing?

What happened?

Lucy

Oh, some fire twirler burned his butt and the whole troupe's waiting for him. What is all this? You look like some geek pacing around.

I am a geek pacing around. Taking Dr. Weaver's audio tour of the ER.

Lucy

Who's Dr. Weaver?

Kind of short, red hair, uses a crutch.

So what do they just have you sitting here?

Lucy

I don't know what I'm supposed to do. No one's told me anything.

Lucy

So your dad works here?

Yeah, he's one of the bosses. Well, he used to be the only boss, before Dr. Weaver butted in.

Kerry

So, I haven't had much of a chance to work with you today. I trust everything is going well?

Lucy

Yes. You know, pretty well for a first day.

Kerry

In other words, it's been completely hateful, huh?

Lucy

Did I say the wrong thing?

Mark

In general, it's probably not a good idea to show up the residents.

Lucy

So, I should give the wrong answer?

Mark

Tricky, isn't it?

Chuny

Welcome aboard.

Lucy

Right, Dr. Carter?

Jerry

Please don't call him Dr. Carter. We'll never be able to live with him.

Lucy

What should I call you?

Jerry

He's just...Carter.

Carter

Dr. Carter will be fine.

Carter

Hey, you guys just missed a good one. I sent a guy straight up to the OR. Perfed his intestine with a carrot.

Carol

A whole carrot?

Lucy

How do you swallow a whole carrot?

Carter

Didn't swallow.

Lucy

[embarrassed] Oh, I get it.

Lucy

[preparing a injection] Malik, could I ask you a question? Which do you think is the better vein?

Malik

That's the one. Big and straight.

Lucy

Okay.

Malik

Just slide it in, he can't feel anything.

Lucy

All right. [she inserts the needle] It's going in. Got a flash. I'm advancing.

Malik

Sapphire pinkie ring? This man ain't got no class.

Lucy

Hooked up the line. Got the tape. How come it's not running in?

Malik

It's infiltrated. You went all they way through the vein.

Lucy

No, I was really careful.

Malik

Well, Lucy, you gotta be kind of Zen with it, okay? Now watch the master okay? It's not about seeing. It's not about feeling. It's about knowing.

Carter

Okay, party's over; you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here!

Lucy

What's wrong, was the music too loud?

Carter

No, the furniture was too on fire.

Carter

[on the hospital's rooftop] Hi.

Lucy

Thought you went home.

Carter

No - we're on in an hour. It's better not to sleep unless you can get at least three.

Lucy

I wouldn't sleep anyway.

Carter

The crit's up three points, but the renal failure may be permanent. That's if she wakes up.

Lucy

[Upset] I thought we were saving her.

Carter

No... we were giving her her only chance...

Lucy

That's not good enough!

Carter

It has to be.

Lucy

No, it doesn't.

Carter

Some patients get to you more than others, I know. But when you do everything that you can, sometimes even more than you thought you could, you've got to walk away knowing you fought the good fight. You fought the good fight, Lucy. [pauses] Tomorrow you'll fight another one.

Lucy

[about Romano] So, should I feel special, or does he stare at everyone's breasts?

Elizabeth

No, only the females as far as I know.

Carter

Are you back with us?

Lucy

No, I'm still on Psych.

Carter

Well, you'll be back doing real medicine soon, so don't get too used to the cush life.

Lucy

Yeah, I won't.

Lucy

Dr. Finch, do you always jog to work?

Cleo

It's only four miles.

Kerry

Kind of makes you want to dislike her, doesn't it?

Lucy

Dr. Dave, how much should I lower his O2?

Dave

Oh, I don't know. Crank it down. If he turns blue, crank it up.

Lucy

You're kidding, right?

Dave

No. Purple ain't good.

Romano

Well, it's nice to see that when the cat's away, the mouse still jumps.

Benton

What's going on?

Romano

Just teaching Ms. Knight the finer points of an L-VAD implantation. You know, from now on, I think I'm only gonna do favors for people who come begging at my doorstep. Which leads me to ask, Peter, why wasn't it you?

Benton

I never even considered it.

Romano

O ye of little faith.

Lucy

Dr. Romano, I again just wanna tell you how much I appreciate you doing this.

Romano

Eh, that's enough sucking up, Lucy. Cut please.
