Quotes 

• Dr. John Carter : I wanted him to die. I saw what he did to that old lady and the others before her, and I wanted him to die. I didn't think he should have that blood. I mean, if someone had come in and they really needed it... If some little kid had been hit by a car, or some old guy had been accidentally shot; if someone like that had died because we wasted the blood on that guy... I don't know. It was my decision, and I made it, and if he died, I don't know how I'd feel, but I can't say that I'm sorry. I mean, was I wrong?

• Jerry Markovic : Carter, what do you think the best approach with Weaver is? Contrition? Indignation?

  Nurse Malik McGrath : Begging.

  Dr. John Carter : I think I would just appeal to her innate sense of fairness.

  Nurse Lydia Wright : She has a sense of fairness?

  Dr. John Carter : Yeah. Just remind her that you've been on nights now for...

  Jerry Markovic : Four months.

  Dr. John Carter : And that you think your exemplary work history, and your many years of loyal service, marred only by one minor incident...

  Nurse Lydia Wright : Blowing up the ambulance bay.

  Dr. John Carter : ...makes it incumbent upon her to bring you back to the land of the living.

  Nurse Malik McGrath : I still say beg.

• Dr. John Carter : How are you feeling?

  Chase Carter : I've been better. Nothing some crank and a half-gallon of Stoli's wouldn't fix.

• Dr. John Carter : How long is Weaver going to keep you on nights, Jerry?

  Nurse Lydia Wright : I believe her exact words were, "until hell freezes over."
