Lucien Dubenko quotes from E.R.

[during the M&M] Sit down, Lucien! You're out of line!

Dubenko

No. I won't sit down and I'm not out of line, I'm not out of line at all. That's a joke. Wanna know what's out of line? I'll tell you what's out of line: a system so pathetically underfunded that we have a single trauma attending to cover the entire hospital at night. That's out of line. Letting a patient bleed out in the ICU because of a stupid rule; that's out of line. And you wanna know what else? Wanna know what else? Sitting by and watching my resident try and hide the fact that I left her alone in the OR; that's out of line. It's all out of line.

I am stuck with a new intern, and the ER was the target of a bioterrorist attack.

Dubenko

Mm-hmm, I used to call that a Thursday.

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!

Dubenko

[Asking about the mother of four that they are treating] How's her carbon monoxide level?

Banfield

29%, but she's not stable enough for hyperbaric.

Dubenko

Exactly, neither is Carter's patient. So can you please explain to me why he won't listen to reason?

Banfield

Sometimes reason doesn't get you anywhere.

Dubenko

Excuse me?

Banfield

We have four kids that could be orphans despite all reasonable efforts.

Dubenko

Yeah, that's part of the deal. That doesn't mean we can start abandoning protocol.

Banfield

Carter was out in the field. Without all the technology, you're gonna listen to your gut. Can't say I blame him. Looks like reason's having a bad day.
