E.R. · Season 6
Warm milk is nasty.
Really? And what are you having?
Double tall vanilla latte.
A latte. Don't you know that coffee stunts your growth?
That is so not true!
Do your parents let you drink it?
What are you, the coffee police?
[on finding Mark at the batting cage] So this is what American males do to vent their anger and frustrations.
Figured a Romano-Weaver double homicide was overkill.
Dr. Finch, do you always jog to work?
It's only four miles.
Kind of makes you want to dislike her, doesn't it?
I don't get this. You're a regular doctor...
Yes.
But you don't work here.
No, I do work here, but only when they need me. I'm what they call a "Moonlighter."
Because you're from another country?
No, because I only work here from time to time, when they need me.
And they needed you today because of the truck crash!
[sighs] No. I'm here because one of the regular doctors...
I thought you said you were one of the regular doctors.
I just fill in when someone else is absent.
Oh, I get it! You're like a sub!
A sub...? Yeah, yeah. I'm a sub.
What kind of accent is that?
[sighs again] Thick!
So, you took that little girl in to see her mother?
Yes.
Even though Dr. Weaver and Dr. Greene didn't think it was a good idea?
Oh, mostly they're not sure if I'm a good doctor.
Why do you say that? This is like the second or third time you've worked here, isn't it?
Yeah. Enough time for them to stop calling me Dr. Kovac. You know, when people are not sure, they tend to keep things more formal. I hope you will be happy enough with your sutures to call me Luka. I took the girl in because, uh, children need to know, need to see, even if what they see is not good. It's still better than being in the dark, you know? Having... that kind of fear.
Dr. Dave, how much should I lower his O2?
Oh, I don't know. Crank it down. If he turns blue, crank it up.
You're kidding, right?
No. Purple ain't good.
Hey, Jackie Joyner. Nice spandex.
Get a life...
Can we tell you what happened?
I heard what happened. Do you have a brain between you?
Dr. Weaver, we called them...
No, no! I talk, you listen. You work in this hospital not on the street. You are not trained for it. You are not covered for it and you have patients here who need your attention. One of them might've coded, or, or we might have been hit with two or three other traumas while you were off playing paramedic.
Were you?
Don't even start with me Dr. Malucci. I'm only cutting you this much slack because you're new here and you, Carter, you should know better. You're emergency residents, not paramedics. Is that understood? Is that understood?
[Dave nods]
That was great, Dave. Thanks, I appreciate that.
[about not being consulted regarding the hiring of Gabe Lawrence] Couldn't you have the courtesy to at least tell me first? It's called respect, Kerry. Hey, look, it's even on your stupid badge.
I want you to know that I'm here for you and that for me this wasn't just about...
Sex?
Yeah, it wasn't about that.
It was for me. And if we're talking "needs" John, I don't need you to feel sorry or worried or tender or anything. I just need you to go away.
I don't want to go away.
The Chicago Gazette is sending over a reporter - mostly to do a fluff piece on me - but they also want to take a look at the ER.
Why are you telling me?
Well, because you're gonna show them around. Let them see what heroes we all are. How we save kiddies' lives et cetera. You know? Blowing my trumpet?
Don't you do that better yourself?
Look at you. Look at me. Who would you rather spend an hour with?
You have a point.
[about Reese] Hey, Jackie, do you think he looks like me?
Hope not. He's got enough problems.
Do you know what it means to be skating on thin ice?
Okay, this is me, backing off.
You a resident?
Yeah.
Well, one thing you still need to learn is that every patient in here is somebody's boyfriend, girlfriend, father, mother, son. They don't exist simply for you to learn new and interesting procedures.
Well, I didn't see her standing there.
Well, next time open your eyes before you open your mouth.
[Lawrence walks out]
What's with the new guy?
Oh, which new guy would that be? Dr. Lawrence or you?
Lizzie, when you assume, you make an ass out of 'you' and 'me.' Oh, never mind...
