It's not good medicine for...
...for one family member to look after another.
S6 E13Be Still My Heart
[to Chen and Malucci] Do you know why I had only one child? Because I didn't want to listen to the two of them arguing in the back seat of my car.
Robert, this is a dog.
Correction, Lizzie, this is my dog.
I'm sorry, Robert, I just don't think it's proper to be operating on your dog.
I'm chief of staff, is that proper enough for you? Besides, what would you have me do? Leave her to some poodle surgeon?
Today was the first day I saw an old person die and I guess I'm just not used to it.
Well, you want the good news or the bad news?
Give me the bad.
You never get used to it. The good news is you never get used to it. At least I haven't. So you may have come up here to be alone, but you're not.
S6 E14All in the Family
[while treating Carter who has been stabbed in the back]
Right pupil is five millimeters and reactive, left is- John! John!
[Carter regains consciousness]
Deb?
Look at me. D'you know where you are?
My back.
You were stabbed. We've got your pressure up.
Lucy?
TBOfficer Tom Bennini
John, I'm officer Bennini, did you see the man that stabbed you?
[Carter shakes his head]
Wait, wait, do we need to do this right now?
TBOfficer Tom Bennini
It's better if I can...
You'll have to wait, I'm sorry!
What?
Nothing, looks like he missed your spinal chord.
[Carter sees Lucy in the trauma room next to them]
Is that Lucy?
Yes. She's alive.
Carter, don't worry, I'm going to explore the abdomen. I'm going to check out everything.
I'm glad it's you.
Hey, I'm getting you through this, man. You hear me?
[after Lucy has woken up]
Your liver was damaged, but we were able to repair it. However we did have to remove your spleen. I'm sorry.
[Lucy tries to speak]
EElizabet
Lucy, you can't speak. You can whisper, if I plug the trake. D'you want to try that?
[Lucy nods]
Okay.
[Corday plugs the trake]
Remember, only whisper.
Thank you.
[Romano and Corday are trying to save Lucy's life]
OK, that's it, we've done everything we can.
[Elizabeth doesn't respond, monitor still beeping rapidly]
Holding compressions.
[monitor eventually slows down, beeping stops, leaving a flatline running]
[shakily] Oh, dammit... [tosses equipment across the room] Son of a bitch...
[flatlining continues]
No. NO. NO. Let's give a minute for the last epi to circulate, come on. Charge to 30, let's go. [Elizabeth does nothing] COME ON, LIZZY, LET'S GO!!!
[voice braking] Robert...
[Romano halts compressions, and accepts that they can't save Lucy]
Call it.
[monitor shuts off]
Time of death, 2:56.
Pretty scary, huh?
Yeah, pretty scary.
I was complaining about my day.
S6 E15Be Patient
Carter (to Benton): We all know what happens after the "jazz club."
Just when did you lose the filter between your brain and your mouth?
I think you might have taken it out in the OR last week.
KMrs. Knight
Um... Can I ask you something?
Yes.
KMrs. Knight
When you were... Well, when that man stabbed you, what did you think? No--I mean, what did it feel like?
Well, um... It happened really fast, and I didn't really know what was going on. But I didn't feel a thing.
KMrs. Knight
No pain?
[shakes his head] No pain.
[Elizabeth comes home unexpectedly] Elizabeth?
Morning, I forgot some notes for a meeting. You look tired, were you watching Charlie Rose again...?
[Suddenly sees Mark's father in his underwear]
Not exactly.
Uh, morning Elizabeth.
David came over for breakfast.
In boxers and slippers... my slippers?
Uh, I hope you don't mind.
I thought you were ice fishing.
Well... I... uh... didn't make it.
I can see that.
I lied to Lucy's mother today. I told her that it wasn't painful to have an 8-inch knife shoved into your gut.
