We're all dying. Stress just gets you there faster.
S15 E8Age of Innocence
[about Neela's lawsuit] Look, I'll speak to Anspaugh, and I bet it'll get tossed out.
Yeah, it better, or else I'll be doing a ho stroll down Division street.
[after learning that Simon had been molested as a child] Simon, do you need to talk to somebody about this? It doesn't just go away.
[whispering] I need to get back to work.
If it's still affecting you, you have to deal with it.
I am dealing with it, in my own way.
S15 E9Let it Snow
[Archie is trying to get a group of physicians to participate in singing "Let It Snow"]
[singing] Oh, the weather outside is...
[he thrusts the microphone in a man's face, to no response]
Morris: [singing] ... frightful/But the fire is so...
[he thrusts the microphone in a woman's face, to no response]
No winners yet! [singing] ... Delightful/And since we've no place to go/Let it...
[he thrusts the microphone in Cate's face]
Stop! Let it stop! Make it stop!
S15 E10The High Holiday
[Dr. Sanchez is eating a patient's Jell-o]
What are you doing?
SSanchez
Wiggling and jiggling.
Are you coming to the Christmas party this year?
Yes. As long as it's not like last year.
Why, what happened?
Greg pinched my butt!
S15 E11Separation Anxiety
Look, what happened was horrible, but Sarah and Alex are going to be okay!
SSam
A girl died, Tony and my kid came very close. That is not okay. You know what? You do you, and I'll do me, and we should just go our separate ways, okay?
S15 E12Dream Runner
[voice-over] The toughest thing about being a doctor isn't the terrible hours. It isn't the loneliness, the isolation, or the knowledge that, one day, we all lose out to the relentless decay of the human body. No. It's something else.
[voice-over] The care of every patient is a twisty maze that leads to an infinite number of potential outcomes. We hope that knowledge and experience guide us, but sometimes it becomes obvious a wrong turn was made.
...
[voice-over] If only it were possible to apply the wisdom of our mistakes, go back to the fork in the road, and this time, be assertive. Choose the road we think we should take, not the path of least resistance.
[after the death of a patient] We can't see the future.
Sometimes we can, actually with this handy new technology called the CT. You heard of it?
Fine. Do I wish I could do it over? Yeah, I do. There was no way to know.
Gates was begging to get the scan.
Gates is a resident.
Don't make this about hierarchy. If any of us refuse to hear another opinion, the entire system breaks down.
What system? You guys don't have a system. All I see here is chaos and disorder.
Well, maybe that's the problem. Maybe that's why after five months, you still don't get it. You still don't fit in.
Fit in? This isn't junior high.
We are a team. We work together, but you think that you're so much better than all of us, so much smarter, you'll never let yourself be part of it. If you wanna be a queen, go into private practice, go back to Indonesia, leave medicine altogether, but don't torture us here.
[to Neela] You don't have to know exactly where you're going, you just have to keep moving forward. That is the key to happiness, really.
[voice-over] For some patients, there is no road to recovery. Nothing we do as doctors will alter the outcome. At least that's what we tell ourselves.
...
[voice-over] When their way doesn't work and your way doesn't work, you've got to accept defeat or find another way.
S15 E13Love is a Battlefield
[about Gates] Oh, you still love him? What are you going to do?
SSam
I plan on being irrationally hurt and angry for as long as I like.
[smiles] Sounds good.
[Archie is looking at buying a minivan]
If I drive it, they will come.
Who will come?
My future wife, kids, and our dog, Buster.
You worked at the Jumbo Mart?
Uh, yeah, a few years ago. I was sorting things out. Wanted to make sure medicine was right for me.
Thank God she came back.
Thanks Frank, that's sweet.
You never made the right change.
