- Nurse Carol Hathaway: I'd have to do the entire Bulls lineup on the damn admit desk before I even began to be equal with you!
- Nurse Carol Hathaway: I've spent years... *years* of my life, changing to fit your needs, working around your schedule, your insecurities, your inability to commit. Well, you know what, Doug? It's not all about you! I know that may come as a shock.
- [crying]
- Nurse Carol Hathaway: But a relationship is give and take. Two people as equals, and right now I need something! So you can grow up and accept it, or you can go on being the same selfish, self-centered bastard you've always been, and refuse to give me the one thing... The one thing I've ever asked you for!
- 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. Kerry Weaver: Overweight 62-year-old shoveling two feet of wet snow. I can't imagine why he's having an MI.
- Dr. Kerry Weaver: You used me, Ellis. That's what we've been about, right? You used me to get this deal. Well, I don't like being used! You underestimated me once, and you were right to, but don't underestimate me again! I'll see you at the board!
- 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."
- Dr. Kerry Weaver: So, you want me to fall on my sword in front of the Board of Directors?
- Dr. Donald Anspaugh: It is *your* sword, Kerry.
