Quotes 

• Dr. Alex Karev : [to Jimmy]  I got a question. I recognized you the first time I saw you. How do you forget a wife and three kids? How... how do you do that?

  Jimmy Evans : I made such a mess of everything. The more time went by, the more drugs I did, the more I let myself forget 'cause I couldn't stand myself. You know? I remember you, though. I remember you used to laugh in your sleep.

  Dr. Alex Karev : Well, that's when I was like, 4, right?

  Jimmy Evans : You were just a happy kid. I guess I fixed that, huh?

  Dr. Alex Karev : Yeah, I remember you took me to the fair once. It's uh, one of those travelling ones where all the rides are crappy and you might die.

  [they chuckle] 

  Dr. Alex Karev : But, uh, we rode every ride twice. It was a good night.

  Jimmy Evans : I remember that. Your mom was having a meltdown. She was tearing the wallpaper off the walls, saying someone was hiding in there.

  [sighs] 

  Jimmy Evans : Ugh! That woman was such a damn mess...

  Dr. Alex Karev : What about this other family? I mean, how'd you leave it with them?

  Jimmy Evans : Better. I could maybe try and go back. Naomi's tough, but she's not your mother. She's not bug-eyed crazy.

  Dr. Alex Karev : All right, this has got to stop now.

  [scoffs] 

  Dr. Alex Karev : Mom was not the problem.

  Jimmy Evans : I'm not trying to bad-talk your mother, but you can't know what a strain it is being with someone like that.

  Dr. Alex Karev : Who do you think took care of her? Kept track of her? Got her committed so she wouldn't hurt herself? Who do you think took care of your kids?

  Dr. Alex Karev : I did the best I could.

  Dr. Alex Karev : Oh, well, if that's your best than you should just hang it up! Your best is worthless! I was the dad! I was a kid, but I was the dad! You were nothing! You... were gone! You're worthless!
