TV show quotes
Well, it's nice to see that when the cat's away, the mouse still jumps.
What's going on?
Just teaching Ms. Knight the finer points of an L-VAD implantation. You know, from now on, I think I'm only gonna do favors for people who come begging at my doorstep. Which leads me to ask, Peter, why wasn't it you?
I never even considered it.
O ye of little faith.
Dr. Romano, I again just wanna tell you how much I appreciate you doing this.
Eh, that's enough sucking up, Lucy. Cut please.
I cannot thank you enough, Dr. Knight.
I'm not a doctor yet.
You are to me.
Yeah, I'm actually pretty surprised to see you around here. I, uh, thought you dropped out of medicine after...
I almost killed that patient by leaving a guidewire in his chest?
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring that up.
Oh yes you did, John. But that's okay. And let's face it, it was kind of a low point. But it did force me to face the truth. I was being way too aggressive. Way too much of an overachiever. Always trying to show people up.
Well...
And way too successful at it. I'd left the patient out of the picture.
[When Greene tells Carter he has to go to San Diego]
Hey, is everything okay?
Well, my father's barricaded himself in our old house. There's no heat, there's no electricity. He's running around in his underwear so actually everything isn't okay,
So, uh, Carter... did you know this new resident, Jing something-or-other?
That's good, screw up her name. That'll impress her.
Luka, I heard about what happened. I'm sorry.
No, don't, don't apologize.
It might not always make sense to us, but when there's a difficult family situation, we call DCFS because they have expertise in this area. We have to defer to their judgment.
You don't break up families.
Sometimes we do. It's complicated.
No! My wife and kids were taken.
In the war?
Yeah. And then killed. You don't break up families.
[to Lucy] Miss Knight, you are like a crazed Energizer Bunny on this one. You just keep going and going and going.
It just started snowing, and you look like you're freezing.
I am.
[Luka walks over and drapes his coat around her]
No, that's okay.
I'm European, we like to be gallant. Are you off? I've got two tickets to the circus.
Just coming on.
What are you doing here all day?
Not enough as it turns out. It's never been very easy for me to be here. Sometimes I felt like I would never fit in.
That's something I know about. But I moved around a lot, and I'm used to it.
But at the beginning of every day, I've been grateful that I'm walking in here on my own choosing, and not carried in on some gurney. And at the end of the day, if I've helped just one person, it's been worth it. And that didn't happen today, and that makes me sad.
Somebody stole my patient.
Peter, did you steal Lucy's patient?
Check the lost and found.
Why mess with natural selection? Nothing like a good influenza epidemic to thin the herds.
Residents...the only thing worse than med students.
Patients normally don't bite in OB.
That's an occupational hazard down here.
[On the roof of the hospital] Rough first day?
[smoking a cigarette] Well, let's just say, it's been two years since I've had one of these.
What happened?
More like what didn't happen. I used to work in O.B., and up there I would deliver a baby, and then I would deliver a baby, and then I would deliver a baby. And today, I was puked on, spit at, bit, and then I tricked a psychotic woman, and then I almost killed a guy.
That sounds about right. Fortunately in the ER, almost doesn't count.
[starts throwing money off the roof from a tin box]
What are you doing?
Patient's last request. Toss some, you might feel better.
It's not good medicine for...
...for one family member to look after another.
[to Chen and Malucci] Do you know why I had only one child? Because I didn't want to listen to the two of them arguing in the back seat of my car.
