You'll die.
CCora
[softly] And what if you're wrong? How about that, hm?
I'm not wrong.
CCora
Well, suppose you're not. If not... [sadly] ... No big loss.
S1 E4Cora and Arnie
S1 E5Samuels and the Kid
Sometimes, I fear I'm not too liked around here.
Oh now, Donald, it's all right. I'm not out to win any popularity contests. The work what's important, not the recognition...
Absolutely right.
Even though I should have won last year.
NSNurse Skilling
My, my, the monsters our children have become! Remember your roots, Doctor Chandler. It was not too long ago the cotton you were picking wasn't from an aspirin bottle!
[looking around hospital mortuary] It's hard to be comfortable in a room where everybody else is so stiff.
Hey, I'm sorry I'm late.
Well, I guess you didn't hear then.
Hear? Hear what?
They recalled your class at Brookline Memorial. Instead of teaching you anatomy, they gave you a course on home heating. The bus leaves for the West Coast about nine o'clock.
Yeah, next thing you're going to want to know how to pick up girls. Right?
KKid
That's easy. You tell them what they want to hear.
[Nurse Rosenthal throws a disapproving glance at Samuels]
I didn't teach him that. I swear. It's intuitive.

Ehrlich, sitting on concrete, holding a stick with a string dangling in the water and ducking into the woods every time a cop car passes is not fun. Cardiac arrest in the middle of REM sleep, that's fun. Ah, a wino with an EEG of two spikes, that's fun.
WDr. Wade
Nice dress. You know, I've never seen you wear white.
MDr. Martin
I'm going to a funeral.
WDr. Wade
Cathy, usually people wear black to a funeral.
MDr. Martin
I've noticed that.
You know, that Cummings kid may be a good hospital administrator, but sometimes he can be a real hard nose. I don't like people like that.

My uncle Jumbo once said 'Never buy anything from a man who could someday operate on you'.
[talking about Jane to Westphall] She spent one very passionate afternoon in the arms of a total stranger and now she's three months pregnant. The problem is, she's only been out of here for two months. Somebody stole the cookies from the cookie jar.
HJH.J. Cummings
I'm starting to get the impression that you resent taking responsibility for your actions.
No, that's not true at all. I may have overlooked some administrative procedures. I'm sorry if I did but seven people are resting comfortably in isolation right now, three of whom might be dead at this time if we hadn't acted when we did. If I had to do it over, nothing would change.
Tell me this chaos will end.
This chaos will end.
I don't believe you.
[to Westphall] Donald, don't let this stuff get you down. As Coach Bum Phillips once said of Earl Campbell, "You may not be the only one in your class, but it sure wouldn't take long to call roll."
S1 E8Tweety and Ralph
[upon noticing Ben's cut lip] What happened to you?
Well, today, I learned that Craig can't take a joke and I can't take a punch.
