Maggie Wyczenski quotes from E.R.

Your daughter was a star student, when she was here in NICU.

Maggie

Really? [looks at Abby proudly] She never gives herself any credit.

The good ones never do.

Abby Lockhart

I can't do this. I can't pretend everything's gonna be ok. Premies don't make it out of the OR.

Maggie Wyczenski

Let it go. Abby, Abby. All the bad things you've seen, let it go.

Abby

And I can't believe I let myself get talked into this.

Maggie Wyczenski

Stop it!

Abby

I spent a month in the NICU, I know how this ends.

Maggie Wyczenski

Abby! You have a lot of great qualities, but optimism is not one of them.

Abby

[laughs] Whose fault is that?

Maggie Wyczenski

Yeah. Alright. I did not create a good environment for a child to grow up believing things would work out. But you're not a child any longer. You're the mother now. And that baby down there needs you to believe he's gonna be ok.

Another round of epi! Guys, he's grey. Point 2 of epi. 10 cc's of pav, now!

Abby

I'm trying! I am really, really trying!
