The perception of a psychiatrist, bedside manner of an ER doc and the empathetic eyes of an overworked nurse.
Oh, yeah, I'm the whole package. All I have to do is actually pass my boards.
Have I done something wrong?
You tell me. Gallant's in a war zone and you're playing Madame Curie.
I never asked Michael to cover for me and I feel terrible.
Oh, yeah? I think he feels worse.
Look, I don't think it's right for you to hold me responsible.
Look, my friend took a hit and he's gone, but you're running around doing everything under the sun except ER medicine. Now, if that's how it's gonna be, then fine, but hurry up and decide. You're taking up space.
[about Carter and Kem's baby] A stillborn?
Yeah, a true knot in the chord.
How terrible.
Ah, I can't even imagine!
I'll try to get up there after rounds.
Poor people. Seven months old?
Mm... Almost eight.
Yeah, tough break. [Chen, Corday and Weaver all look at him] What? I was... I was being sincere.
When your brother died, the thing I hated the most was other people's platitudes. There are no words... You don't know how you find the strength, but somehow you do. You can have another child... It was an accident, a tragic, unforeseeable accident.
The whole thing was an accident.
No, it wasn't. You love each other. Everybody can see that.
I don't know that she'd wanna have another baby with me.
Sure she will. Give it some time.
[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.
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.
Bastard.
Putz.
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.
[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.
We're moving.
No!
Come on, hurry up!
I don't wanna go!
Ah, you don't exactly have a choice.
I'm not going!
Yes you are.
I like it here.
Yeah? So did I.
You're just being a bitch.
What did you call me?
I'm sick of moving just because you're screwed up!
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!
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.
Young lady- will you be my nurse tomorrow?
...No, I won't. But I will be around. [smiles] Just ask for Dr. Lockhart.
