These seminars are a waste of time. All they want to know is if I've ever killed anybody.
What do you tell them?
Just med students.
S4 E11Think Warm Thoughts
MSMedical Student
What's the weirdest thing you have taken out of somebody's rectum?
Umm, a bowling trophy.
Thanks for taking care of it, Pete.
Dr. Romano... It's Peter. You called me Pete.
What, nobody in your whole life's ever called you Pete?
No.
"Pete Benton", it sounds so natural, you gotta be kidding me.
Peter. Just Peter.
Huh. Wow. Petey?
Peter.
S4 E12Sharp Relief
You're leaving in the middle of your shift. It's about your cousin, isn't it?
I know what I'm doing.
You don't look like you know what you're doing.
[annoyed] And you don't know anything about my family, so just drop it.
It's been a long day. I could use a drink. How about you?
No. I don't drink.
Your body's made up of 60 percent water, Peter. You must drink something.
Elizabeth, you know what I mean.
Well, have a lemonade, or a Yoo-Hoo, for all I care.
What are you thinking about?
GPGreg Powell
I'm thinking I'm not feeling the cold.
Yeah?
GPGreg Powell
Yeah. And I'm thinking that cat will come out when she's good and ready.
Probably.
GPGreg Powell
And I'm thinking if I look at you one more second, I'm gonna have to kiss you.
I needed to think.
About what?
About you and me. And the engagement and the vows and the rings. I think we're rushing into this. I don't think we're ready.
I'm ready. But you aren't?
When I was talking to Greg Powell, it got intense and... and I kissed him. It didn't go any further than that, but it was one of those moments, you know? I didn't want it to...
Okay, that's good. I just wanted to make sure you were safe and sound. [picks up his coat]
Doug! I am so sorry!
Yep, me too. [leaves]
S4 E13Carter's Choice
[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!
S4 E14Family Practice
I'm like a magnet for needy people. They find me wherever I go.
Like I did?
RGRuth Greene
Dr. Black says that you and your father are responsible for your own feelings. But I know I started. I blamed him. I blamed you. I didn't want a baby. It was too soon. We'd only dated a couple of times. Of course, when I saw you, I loved you. And I tried to make up for it. But I'd already spoiled everything between you and your father. And it just kept going wrong, no matter how much I loved you both.
S4 E15Exodus
Ah, here's our little action hero.
How does it look?
Like ground beef. No, actually, more like chopped liver.
Yeah, but do you think we have a chance for limb salvage?
You want my honest opinion? No, I don't think you do.
Well, I'd like to give it our best shot.
You got it, Lizzie. No holds barred. One hundred and ten percent.
