S2 E20Cramming

Then in short, Dr. Armstrong, you never acknowledged the possibility of a genuine heart condition, in this case, infective endocarditis, which crossed the placenta and triggered premature labor.

[Struggling to answer the question] I... I... ..

[Stands to address Dr. Craig, Dr. Westfall, and Dr. Auschlander] To be honest, Mrs. Chambers' valve murmur was almost inaudible. I must have big ears. [Snickers after his joke]

Hardly seems the time for wisecracks.

Sorry.

[Fiscus sits down]

[Trying to hold back her emotions] I'm having trouble concentrating. I was in court earlier today.

I think we all understand that, Wendy. The point is, had you spotted her condition earlier in the clinic, she could have been put on IV antibiotics.

And probably she'd still be carrying that child.

S2 E21Rough Cut

I got the news.

Good, then we don't have anything to talk about.

Yes, we do. I know how good my board scores were and you know the quality of my work has been improving, yet you still torpedoed me.

You got what you deserve.

Even though the jury found me innocent, you're still doling out punishment like you're above the law or something.

What gives you the right? You're the last person on this earth I have to explain myself to.

I'm taking you to court, Westphall. They'll force you to give me a second year. I'll be back! I'll be back.

[as Dr. Caldwell is limping in the hallway] Ladies and gentlemen, Hoot Gibson!

RCDr. Robert Caldwell

Thanks, Helen!

Dr. Caldwell...

Victor, I don't know if you're coming back for a second year so don't ask.

It just so happens I wanna do you a big favor.

Yeah. What's that?

I wanna give some advice on how to keep under control so your sutures will stay in place.

Mind your own business, Victor.

I just wanna help. I know what you're going through. Everybody's gotta wind the watch once in a while.

Bye, Victor.

Okay. [Shaking his head] Gives me the willies.

S2 E22Hello, Goodbye

Ok, you've asked how the family is, how your friends are... everybody but your dad and the gardener.

SCStephen Craig

How is the gardener?

Hello, sir, Nice to meet you sir. How's the wife?

Nurse Daniels: [listening, then opens the curtain] Whose wife?

Westphall's.

Westphall's wife is dead.

You're kidding! I didn't even know she was sick.

It's been 10 years, Elliot.

Oh, then I guess I shouldn't send flowers. Thanks for the tip. I would have faux-pauxed myself all over the conference room. Probably blowing my chances of becoming a first-year resident this fall. How do I look?

Here let me straighten your tie. [Adjusts his tie] There's not much I can do with the rest of you.

I really hate interviews. My hands always get clammy. I mean, what if he asks a question I don't know the answer to? And most important, do you think he'll like me?

Elliot, in the six months since you started your externship in the ER, there's one thing I can say about you. If they're judging on originality, you're a shoe-in.

Oh, good.
