[about their med school graduation] Abby, any family jetting in?
No, we're not that close. We're more like survivors of a particularly brutal carjacking than a family.
S10 E21Midnight
Kem? They're gonna come down and take us to our new room soon. And when they come, they're gonna take the baby, and we're never gonna see him again... I don't know what the right thing is to say. I don't know what the right thing to do is [he starts to cry]... It was an accident! [Kem sobs silently] It was nothing that you did wrong, it was nothing that we did wrong. It just happened. I love you, and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you. But we have to say goodbye to our son now. I have to help you to do that, and I don't know how to do that. Please help me. Please. [long pause, then Kem nods slowly] Okay?... [he gently picks up their stillborn son, brings him over, and puts him in Kem's arms; Kem bursts into tears again when she looks at the baby's face] He's beautiful. [Carter puts his arms around Kem and cries with her as she rocks the stillborn back and forth] I love you so much.
I can't believe we are actually graduating tomorrow.
Neither can your future patients. Today, ill prepared students. Tomorrow, baby doctors with the fate of countless helpless victims in your incapable hands.
Yeah, they ought to make 'em wear "Caution" signs.
Yeah. "Danger, New Doc" in big red letters on your lab coats.
Thanks for the pep-talk, Greg.
Always happy to lend encouragement to the newbies.
Jerk.
LLester
Bastard.
Putz.
S10 E22Drive
Um, are you a doctor?
No, but-
Yes actually, she's just not on duty now.
[holds out his injured hand] Oh- well, I got my hand slammed in a car door, and I'm supposed to get another dose of morphine-
Yeah, if you just wait over there I'll take care of that for you in a minute.
Ok. [he walks away]
[to Neela] You need to start referring to yourself properly; you'll never gain the confidence of your patients otherwise.
Doesn't feel quite earned yet.
Fake it 'til it does.
MMorales
[about Pratt's new car in the ambulance bay] Hey! Get that beast outta here. This is a hospital, man!
Yeah, which is convenient for you 'cause if you ding this baby, you die.
SSam
We're moving.
No!
SSam
Come on, hurry up!
I don't wanna go!
SSam
Ah, you don't exactly have a choice.
I'm not going!
SSam
Yes you are.
I like it here.
SSam
Yeah? So did I.
You're just being a bitch.
SSam
What did you call me?
I'm sick of moving just because you're screwed up!
SSam
You know what I'm sick of, Alex?! I'm sick of pretending that your dad is a good guy! I'm sick of keeping my mouth shut about all the crap that he's done and all the stuff that he hasn't. And I'm sick of him tracking us down every time he loses a job, so he can come here and buy you enough presents to make you think that he's actually a father. Because he's not! He's a user, and a loser, and I am not gonna let him turn you into one too. Now get your ass in that room and start packing!
ACAntwan Coles
You gotta back me up, brother.
I'm Dr. Pratt, you're under suspicion for DUI. And you sure as hell ain't my brother.
GMr. Gould
Young lady- will you be my nurse tomorrow?
...No, I won't. But I will be around. [smiles] Just ask for Dr. Lockhart.
S11 E1One for the Road
[Luka leans up against his car at the motel, Sam is getting ice from the ice machine.]
[sighs] What are you doing, Sam?
SSam
This is what I do, you know that. I don’t stay in one place that long.
How long are you going to keep doing that?
SSam
As long as I have to.
Luka You can’t keep running away.
SSam
Sure I can.
This isn’t just about Steve.
SSam
Sorry, sometimes there’s a little collateral damage. I have to do this for Alex.
From what I can tell, it’s not working for him.
SSam
Yeah well, he’s 10, he doesn’t know what’s working for him.
Is this the life you want for him? For yourself?
SSam
[opens her mouth as if to say something, but is speechless] I don’t know what else to do.
Go to your car and follow me back to Chicago. You don’t have to do this alone, I’m here, you can trust me.
[A tear runs down Sam’s cheek. Luka pushes her hair back and caresses her face with his hand.]
SSam
That’s not something I’m good at.
Why not give it a try? It can’t be any worse than this, can it?
[They both smile and softly laugh]
[while examining Pratt] Keep your mouth open so I can check the pharynx.
Thought you weren't supposed to be doing anything.
You're a resident; no one's going to care if I kill you. Open.
Somebody go find Morris! He's probably in the bathroom again staring at Maxim.
Back off Pratt, or I'll check your rectal tone with my crutch.
TJTiffany James
Can I get something to eat?
I'll order you a tray.
TJTiffany James
I've been here almost 18 hours.
I'm aware of that. You've held up a bed, woken up two judges in the middle of the night and now the head of the public health department is coming here to do your exam.
TJTiffany James
Really?
Really. He's driving all the way in here from Lake Forest just for you. And he's real happy about it too. He says he hasn't actually done a pelvic in about 10 years, but he's willing to "give it a shot". So... you can either wait here for another hour for the old guy to get here and give you what I'm sure will be a remarkably painless and gentle exam or you can let me do it right now.
S11 E2Damaged
[Luka wakes up, turns to see that Sam is not there and gets out of bed. Sam is at the open window. Luka comes out of the room and hugs her.]
You’re not sleepy? You will get cold like that.
SSam
He’ll come back [Sam moves away from Luka.] We won’t have any idea when. Sleeping in one morning or on our way home from a movie, and he’ll just show up.
We’ll deal with that.
SSam
I don’t know why you would want to. [she looks into Alex’s room where he is sleeping]
I can think of a reason. [Luka closes the window.] This place is too small. You should both come and live with me.
SSam
What?
My apartment has two floors. Alex can sleep downstairs.
SSam
Luka! If we all move in together it is going to be because it is something we all want, not because you think we need to be protected!
Hey.
[Sam walks away and mumbles something about a shower.]
Hey! [Sam stops and turns and Luka picks up the frying pan.] Scrambled or fried?
SSam
Poached!
Poached?
I don't know what happened.
You had a rough time. It's not hard to understand.
I guess. I just thought it would help somehow.
Help what? What else is going on?
Nothing. I'm fine.
You looked bad all day. I wasn't the only one who noticed.
Well, I did get hit in the head by a psycho patient.
You can talk to me, John.
I've been having trouble sleeping. I keep having these dreams. I miss her. And I miss the baby. And I miss all the stuff I thought we were going to have. And I don't know how to get any of it back.
