Dr. Gloria Nathan quotes from Oz

Gloria Nathan

I became a doctor to help people. Now, I know that that sounds like a cliche, it sounds naive, but it's true. I could have a fancy practice anywhere, but instead I chose to work at Oz. I saved your life, O'Reily. And in return, you destroyed mine.

Dr. Gloria Nathan

You may have breast cancer.

(laughs) That's funny.

Dr. Gloria Nathan

I'm not joking.

Breast cancer? Girls get breast cancer.

Dr. Gloria Nathan

Men do too. It's rare, especially at your age, but it does happen.

I'm not a fag, you know. I've been in this shithole for over a year, and I ain't ever taken it up the ass!

Dr. Gloria Nathan

No one is saying that you have!

Bullshit! You're telling me I've got a chick's disease!

Dr. Gloria Nathan

Men have breasts, the same as women.

What the fuck you talking about? I ain't got breasts, I got a chest! (pulls open his shirt) See it? Huh, see it?!

Leo Glynn

What happened?

Dr. Gloria Nathan

Schibetta was brought in, vomiting and pissing blood. My guess is he was poisoned.

Leo Glynn

Christ.

I want Adebisi. I want you to deliver Adebisi to me.

Leo Glynn

No.

No?

Leo Glynn

No! If Adebisi did this, I'll punish him, not you.

Leo...

Leo Glynn

Don't call me Leo!

Is that a threat or a joke?

Leo Glynn

My brother has turned himself in. You and I are done. Capice?

Dr. Gloria Nathan

You're HIV-positive.

What?!

Dr. Gloria Nathan

I'm sorry.

Doctor, that is not possible. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only way to get AIDS is by having sex or sharing a needle. Well I ain't done either and I'm not Asian!

Leo Glynn

What the hell happened?

Tim McManus

Howell and Diane got into a fight. Over me.

Leo Glynn

Christ.

Tim McManus

Look, don't. OK, Leo, I don't want to hear any of your sanctimonious bullshit.

Leo Glynn

I don't care what you want to hear. It's time you started taking responsibility for the shitstorms you create.

Tim McManus

What? That's all I do, all day, every day, is take responsibility, Leo. For every fucking thing in Em City. And all I've ever looked to you for is a little support.

Leo Glynn

I supported you.

Tim McManus

Yeah, like with the thing with Wangler? You took his side right away.

Leo Glynn

I did not!

Tim McManus

Yeah, you took his fucking side! Like you always do. Like you do with Hill, like you do with Said, and even Clayton Hughes. All the brothers. No matter which side of the law.

Leo Glynn

Are you saying I do that because they're black?

Tim McManus

Well, read the score card, pal, and add it up for yourself.

Leo Glynn

Fuck you, McManus!

Tim McManus

Yeah, fuck me!

Dr. Gloria Nathan

Guys, guys, everybody's listening.
