I need a few weeks off.
Why?
My band got a recording deal. We're going to L.A.
Back away from the gurney or I will impale you with my crutch.
Kerry- [Kerry prods him sharply in the chest with her crutch]
Back off, Elvis.

What if I can't love it right?
Abby...
Maybe I'm not strong enough.
Being a parent makes you stronger.
And, it breaks your heart. You told me that.
That's not what I meant. [referring to the children he lost]
I'm sorry. I didn't mean-
No, don't use that as a reason. A[bby looks at him for a moment]
...I'm sorry. [strokes his arm] What if I go shopping, and leave it at the supermarket?
[chuckles] Don't worry, I'll do all the shopping.
I'm afraid I'd mess it up, Luka.
[squeezes her hand] We won't.
He's hemodynamically stable, with no parataneal signs!
AAlbright
So why'd you call me down here?!
Look, Missy, it's protocol, all right? [Albright turns and approaches him menacingly]
AAlbright
You- didn't- really just call me 'Missy', did you?
[suddenly nervous] Okay, look- the case meets trauma criteria!
AAlbright
Next time, call me when you know what you've got on your hands!
...
[Moments later, Neela proves that the patient doesn't need surgery, unintentionally humiliating Morris]
AAlbright
...You should pay more attention to your interns, Red.
I'm an R2, actually.
AAlbright
Ok, R2. Call me about that surgical elective- we might be able to work something out. [leaves, Morris exhales sharply]
[about a pregnant Catholic girl whose parents refuse to let her have an abortion] You're the wrong person to talk to about this.
Excuse me?
I would like your permission to consult another Attending. [Luka looks at her in confusion] Someone who's not Catholic. [Luka pauses, then steps towards her]
[quietly angry] Listen to me very seriously. I'm a doctor first, above and beyond anything else- and I don't let my personal beliefs get in the way of a patient's best interests! Ever.
I don't want everything we have to come down to this one decision. [pauses)] We can get past it. You did what you had to do. It doesn't mean we can't be together.
I didn't do it. I couldn't. I want to keep it. I want us to have this baby.
