Naomi Bennett quotes from Private Practice

Naomi

Your family, whatever that means, if you're single, if you're married, if you have kids, or if you want kids. Your family should be the most important thing, and your family is the most important thing... to us.

Violet

You'll have Dell.

Naomi

He's studying to be a midwife.

Addison

The cute boy who answers the phone?

Cooper

We're a team.

Violet

We're partners, Naomi.

Sam

You can't just bring somebody in.

Pete

Without asking us.

Violet

Yeah.

Sam

We're a democracy. We vote.

Pete

We vote.

Violet

We vote or it doesn't happen.

Naomi

You're right. We should've voted. I was wrong.

Violet

Good. Okay, let's vote.

Addison

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a minute. Uh, I have been working here less than 24 hours, and in that time I discovered that I not welcome here, I learned I am a one-man gynie show, and I performed crazy McGyver surgery, and...Sam saw my booty. So...this has not been a great day for me. This day kind of sucked. But you know what I had one patient...one patient the entire day...and I loved it. So you want me gone? Too bad. I'm in. I'm putting my foot down. My foot's down. It's down. I'm not going anywhere. So...yeah. I thought I...I thought I had a big finish but...I don't. So...I'm done. No, no. I do have a big finish. If I hadn't been here today, if you'd had someone else, that girl would've died delivering her baby. I saved her life. I saved your asses. I'm a world-class neonatal surgeon. And I'm here to stay. Welcome to the new Oceanside Wellness.(Addison leaves)

Naomi

That's why I didn't tell you she was coming.

Violet

William Jefferson Clinton.

Addison

Huh?

Violet

It's 2010. Bill and Hillary have grown apart. It's nothing he did, just... it happens. We inexplicably run into each other at the Lincoln Memorial and it's very late night...

Addison

[groaning] Oh my god.

Violet

He recognizes something in me, something that makes him feel... whole. So we talk about the Camp David Summit, some chat about how we can't possibly, the Secret Service. Next thing you know I have a presidential library in Little Rock and there's a legendary picture of me and Bill laughing and sharing sections of The Times while our child plays under the dinner table, and... orgasm.

Naomi

You're really over Allen, aren't you?

Violet

Oh, I got Bill now. Bill's all I need.

Pete

She snores...

Naomi

God, asleep, she looks almost harmless.

Addison

Hm, like a sleeping tiger.

Pete

Shh. Don't wake the tiger.

Naomi

You do a lot for the practice.

Dell

You are the practice. And you keep it running; the way you deal with the patients, the way you care. Your dream is what started it in the first place.

Naomi

And Sam's.

Dell

And Sam's. [moves in closer to Naomi] But I do it for you.

Addison

And you are a thinker. So, what do you think? About me and Pete. Come on, Nay, you're my friend.

Naomi

Okay. Fine. You said you want change, and you pick Pete. What, a cute doctor boy with nice eyes. That's not change, that's your MO. You're just... you're rushing into something new.

Addison

I'm not. I'm... making a decision to take a chance on something that feels right.

Naomi

Because you're afraid to be alone.

Addison

So what if I am?! Surprise, Naomi, I'm susceptible to the human condition. Look through our other men, I mean there are men in uniform I cannot be alone with right now. I did not pick Pete because I'm desperate and lonely. Pete is my choice

Addison

I was humiliated.

Violet

Were you completely naked? Did you stand in front of him like a peeled banana while he looked over your best parts? Because I have good parts and Cooper passed on them. I have good parts!

Addison

Damm right you do and so do I!

Violet

I like your breasts.

Addison

You have a good ass.

Violet

Thank you! I like it.

Naomi

Hey, hey, hey! The point is, we should not be having sex in the office.

Violet

Who's having sex in the office?

Naomi

No one. No one! That's the point! It gets complicated, you just... you don't know where you stand.

Naomi

God's trying to tell us something.

Sam

It's a coincidence.

Naomi

No, we have sex and then the day after our priest summons us. It's the fires of hell, Sam. We had sex!

Sam

Just don't mention we had a divorce, I don't need a lecture.

Naomi

Huh?

Sam

Play it cool.

Naomi

Yeah, that's cool.

Thank you so much for coming.

Naomi

We had sex and, and we're divorced.

Addison

He's showing Kevin around, hopefully making nice. Apparently Archer didn't appreciate Kevin treating him like a criminal when they first met.

Naomi

You mean when he broke in like a criminal?

Addison

Exactly.

Naomi

Who knew that meaningless sex could be amazing?

Violet

You had meaningless sex? Congratulations.

Violet

I am sex-less. I am without sex. Which can be healthy. Celibacy in some cultures is seen as a sign of strength. So I am strong. I am a strong healthy woman.

Addison

Hm, I miss sex.

Naomi

What are you talking about? You've got a gorgeous man sleeping in your bed.

Addison

Yeah, that's all he is doing in my bed. Doctor's orders.

Naomi

You have sex on the horizon, which is better than having had amazing sex in your recent past with no visible sign of it happening ever again.

Archer

I'm signing myself out.

Naomi

What? Against all medical advice?

Archer

Against your medical advice. Which makes you my doctor, so you have doctor-patient confidentiality.

Naomi

What, wait, wait. You want me to lie to Addison?

Archer

Yes.

Next time I save your life, Archer, a simple thank you would suffice. If you were a neurosurgeon and not just a neurotic, you would know that it is common for a CSP to temporarily fill with fluid, post surgery. Repeat a CT in a month and this will be clear.

Naomi

What? You mean he's going to be fine?

No, he's going to be an ass, like he's always been.

Addison

I wish someone would call another woman's name in bed with me. Hell, I'd even take not knowing who the father of my baby was. Either way, it would mean that I'd had a man on top of me in recent history.

Naomi

You are know what, that's really sad?

Addison

I know. The other day, I thought someone was trying to pick me up, and I felt my knees open just a little bit.

Dell

Um, hey... I... I don't want to spoil the fun, but I've got Betsy with me today, and 'say my name' 'who's my daddy' are a little loud. I don't want to explain what a paternity test is to my six-year-old.

Naomi

I'm not telling them to shut up.

Addison

Oh, no, no, me neither.
