Have you ever heard of an awake colonoscopy?
[about Dr. Romano] I was on the committee that hired that man.
He's an excellent surgeon.
Tragic about his arm. A lot of people downtown wish it had been his head.
[about Luka] I think maybe you should talk to him. He seems a little depressed.
He's European. That's his baseline.
What is it with this country? Nobody takes responsibility for anything. Always looking for someone else to blame, someone to sue.
If you don't like it here, go back to Croatia. Not near as many lawyers. A lot more land mines, though.
Her boyfriend cheated on her and she went on a banana-split spree.
So you called 911?
I didn't. She did. She wanted to get her stomach pumped. She must have ate, like, 50,000 calories. Sometimes she binges and purges.
Sometimes? She's lost her gag reflex from sticking her finger down her throat so many times.
Luka, obviously she has an eating disorder.
No. I'll tell you what an eating disorder is. It's when a mother hasn't eaten in six days because she's giving what little food she has to her three children. She just cost the hospital three thousand dollars and for what? So she doesn't put on a pound? [walks out]
Luka...
It's cheaper than liposuction.
[after Elizabeth turned down a date] All I know is that if a cute guy wants to go out with you and you're not interested the least you could do is introduce me.
Don't worry. Rocket Romano never lets anything happen to pretty girls like you.
Not everyone's an opportunistic ass like you.
Uh... So I've been told.
[leaving a message on Luka's answering machine] Yeah, Luka. This is Kerry Weaver. I'm down two attendings and up forty patients. If you don't get in here and start working your scheduled shifts, I'm gonna call the INS, tell them your green card's a fake and have your ass deported!
Women don't know what the hell they want! Am I right? I'm right, right? They don't want a commitment until you give it to 'em, then they want their freedom. So, naturally, you oblige. Then they accuse you of trying to be with somebody else. I'm telling you, you can't win.
Women can be hard to figure out sometimes.
Sometimes? Now you know who's got it all figured out I think? Homosexuals. No, I'm serious. Just listen to me. Look, there's two guys living together: toilet seat's always up, channel's always on ESPN. You can drink beers in the bed, leave your clothes on the floor. I'm telling you, gay cats got it good.
Why are you telling me this?
I have no idea.
[about her blind date] Let's put it this way: I almost had to fake it.
An orgasm?
A seizure.
What do I want? I want you to stop being so afraid. I want us to stop being so careful.
I'm not afraid! I'm just...
I want to marry you!
What?
I want to marry you.
Are you proposing?
Yeah.
You're crazy!
Well then, I'll fit right in!
So, what brings you here?
Dr. Weaver. She told me to come.
Well, why do you suppose she wanted us to meet?
You tell me.
That's not quite how it works.
Hey you're a doctor. Someone comes to me with a problem, I tell them how to fix it, so...
Let's start with you telling me...
My problem?
What's on your mind.
My family died during the war in Croatia. So I came to America. I had a relationship with someone I cared about, which I then ruined. So I started looking for the answers in the wrong places, you know like sex, drinking, living fast... Killed a patient I should've saved and then I almost killed a medical student in a car crash so... woke up one morning and everything I had was gone. Gone or broken. [pause] So what do you have for that?
Well, Dr. Kovac, it's not something I can really...
That's what I thought. You should get back to work. Tell Weaver I showed up.
[about Abby] I just don't want...
Yes?
I just don't want you to wanna fix her.
Abby doesn't need to be fixed.
Or heal her or change her.
I love her.
I just don't want you to be waiting for her to change.
I'm not.
She's an amazing person.
I know who she is.
She's an amazing person with certain weaknesses and you'd be lucky to have her, even with those weaknesses, but you have to love her, even if she never changes anything.
So, you're Julia?
Yeah, you're Susan.
Yeah, I work at the hospital.
I know. Sean said that you were the only doctor he ever met who was like a friend. And, um, that you were hot.
