Laura Innes: Kerry Weaver

Quotes 

• Mark Greene : Coroner's coming over to get the body and do an autopsy. Roger Julian's coming from genetics. He's hopping mad, says Ricky was on his service. Wants to know where the hell the mother got Dilaudid and a PCA machine.

  Doug Ross : The boy was dying.

  Mark Greene : You promised Kerry and I you wouldn't prescribe any more.

  Doug Ross : He was in excruciating pain.

  Mark Greene : You promised us yesterday!

  Doug Ross : The mother was begging me.

  Mark Greene : Where the hell did you get the machine? Genetics didn't prescribe it. I know we didn't.

  Doug Ross : I got it from Carol's clinic.

  Mark Greene : Come here.

  [Pulling Ross aside] 

  Mark Greene : Carol's clinic doesn't have PCA's.

  Doug Ross : She called in a favor. Got it from one of her suppliers.

  Mark Greene : The police are on their way to Joi Abbott's house right now. They have a warrant to impound the PCA. Are they going to find anything out of the ordinary?

  Doug Ross : Like what?

  Mark Greene : Like the machine set to administer enough Dilaudid to kill ten grown men?

  Doug Ross : I don't know.

  Mark Greene : What do you mean you don't know? You set it.

  Doug Ross : This boy was suffering, Mark. He had end-stage ALD. In agony. The mother was watching this child die.

  Mark Greene : Did you help him along?

  Doug Ross : I gave the mother the entry code. I showed her how to change the dosage. Now, I don't know what she did afterwards. I went to work. And you would have done the exact same thing if you were there.

  Kerry Weaver : [Interjecting with Greene and Ross]  Anspaugh's coming down with Romano and Julian.

  Mark Greene : Doug prescribed the PCA machine and the Dilaudid through Carol's clinic.

  Kerry Weaver : What? When?

  Mark Greene : Right after he told us he wouldn't.

  Kerry Weaver : Uh! We're going to have to tell Anspaugh about Doug violating the pain study protocol and our covering it up. I mean they're going to scrutinize everything he's prescribed, Mark. They're going to interview the mother, it's bound to come out.

  [to Ross] 

  Kerry Weaver : What the hell's wrong with you? I mean, we trusted you and you immediately choose to betray the trust. I'm done defending you, Doug.

  Doug Ross : Defending me? You've been trying to nail me for years.

  Kerry Weaver : I don't nail colleagues. You want to destroy your own career? That's fine. But you stay the hell away from mine.

• Dr. Donald Anspaugh : You two took it upon yourselves to cover up a serious breach of a federally funded program?

  Kerry Weaver : We thought it was in the hospital's best interest to keep the incident from becoming public.

  Hospital Administrator Harriet Spooner : Well, it's gonna go public now. And in connection with a high-profile euthanasia case.

  Dr. Roger Julian : Where the hell did Ross get a PCA?

  Mark Greene : From the clinic.

  Dr. Donald Anspaugh : God, what a fiasco.

  Kerry Weaver : What about Ross?

  Robert Romano : Take him out back and shoot him.
