[to Doug] I'd have to do the entire Bulls lineup on the damn admit desk before I even began to be equal with you!

[to Doug] I've spent years, years of my life, changing to fit your needs, working around your schedule, your insecurities, your inability to commit. Well, you know what, Doug? It's not all about you! I know that may come as a shock, but a relationship is give and take; two people as equals, and right now I need something! [crying now] So you can grow up and accept it or you can go on being the same selfish, self-centered bastard you've always been and refuse to give me the one thing, the one thing I've ever asked you for!
[about the rapist] I wanted him to die. I saw what he did to that old lady and the others before her, and I wanted him to die. I didn't think he should have that blood. I mean, if someone had come in and they really needed it. If some little kid had been hit by a car or some old guy had been accidentally shot. If someone like that had died because we wasted the blood on that guy... I don't know. It was my decision, and I made it, and if he died, I don't know how I'd feel, but I can't say that I'm sorry. [pause] I mean, was I wrong?
Carter, what do you think the best approach with Weaver is? Contrition? Indignation?
Begging.
I think I would just appeal to her innate sense of fairness.
She has a sense of fairness?
Yeah. Just remind her that you've been on nights now for...
Four months.
And that you think your exemplary work history, and your many years of loyal service, marred only by one minor incident...
Blowing up the ambulance bay.
...makes it incumbent upon her to bring you back to the land of the living.
I still say beg.
You used me, Ellis. That's what we've been about, right? You used me to get this deal. Well, I don't like being used! You underestimated me once, and you were right to, but don't underestimate me again! I'll see you at the board!
