- John Carter: Kem, they're gonna come down and take us to our new room soon. And when they come, they're gonna take the baby and we're never gonna see him again. I don't know what the right thing is to say. I don't know what the right thing to do is. It was an accident. It was nothing that you did wrong. It was nothing that we did wrong. It just happened. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, but we have to say goodbye to our son now. I have to help you to do that, and I don't know how to do that. Please, help me. Please.
- [Neela is giving her family a tour of the ER]
- Neela Rasgotra: That's Jerry. He makes this whole place work, and he's very big. And that's Frank. He works with Jerry. He just had a massive heart attack and shouldn't be eating that doughnut.
- Neela Rasgotra: [about their med school graduation] Abby, any family jetting in?
- Nurse Abby Lockhart: No, we're not that close. We're more like survivors of a particularly brutal carjacking than a family.
- Gregory Pratt: Hello, ladies. Let's get a move on. It's your last chance to learn something before you start screwing up your malpractice premiums.
- Neela Rasgotra: Wanker.
- Lester Kertzenstein: Turd.
- Nurse Abby Lockhart: Dick.
- [Abby, Neela, and Sam are eating sundaes]
- Frank Martin: Anything left?
- Nurse Samantha Taggart: Help yourself
- Nurse Abby Lockhart: Hey, you just had bypass surgery, like, seven weeks ago!
- Frank Martin: A treat now and then isn't gonna kill anybody.
- Neela Rasgotra: In your case, that little truism might not be completely accurate.
- John Carter: [to Kem about their baby] Well, why don't we ask George?
- Makemba 'Kem' Likasu: George?
- John Carter: You don't like George?
- Makemba 'Kem' Likasu: Oh, please.
- John Carter: I like George. It's the name of the first president of the United States, the quiet Beatle...
- Makemba 'Kem' Likasu: The current occupant of the White House.
- John Carter: Well, no name is perfect.
- Neela Rasgotra: I can't believe we are actually graduating tomorrow.
- Gregory Pratt: Neither can your future patients. Today, ill prepared students. Tomorrow, baby doctors with the fate of countless helpless victims in your incapable hands.
- Archie Morris: Yeah, they ought to make 'em wear "Caution" signs.
- Gregory Pratt: Yeah. "Danger, New Doc" in big red letters on your lab coats.
- Nurse Abby Lockhart: Thanks for the pep-talk, Greg.
- Gregory Pratt: Always happy to lend encouragement to the newbies.
- Neela Rasgotra: Jerk.
- Lester Kertzenstein: Bastard.
- Nurse Abby Lockhart: Putz.
- Kerry Weaver: Who's got the geriatric flasher?
- Luka Kovac: Mr. Ferguson has dementia.
- Nurse Abby Lockhart: We had him in soft restraints, but he keeps getting loose.
- Kerry Weaver: Then use the Posey vest. I don't wanna see his "wee willy wonka" wagging around here anymore than anyone else does.
- John 'Jack' Carter Jr.: [to Carter] When your brother died, the thing I hated the most was other people's platitudes. You're out of words. You don't know how you find the strength, but somehow you do. You can have another child. It was an accident. A tragic, unforeseeable accident.
- John Carter: The whole thing was an accident.
- John 'Jack' Carter Jr.: No, it wasn't. You love each other. Everybody can see that.
- John Carter: I don't know that she'd wanna have another baby with me.
- John 'Jack' Carter Jr.: Sure she will. Give it some time.
- Elizabeth Corday: [about Carter and Kem's baby] Stillborn?
- Jing-Mei Chen: Yeah, a true knot in the chord.
- Elizabeth Corday: How terrible.
- Jing-Mei Chen: Ah, I can't even imagine.
- Elizabeth Corday: I'll try to get up there after rounds.
- Kerry Weaver: Poor people. Seven months old?
- Jing-Mei Chen: Mm... Almost eight.
- Archie Morris: Yeah, tough break.
- [Chen, Corday and Weaver all stare at him]
- Archie Morris: What? I was being sincere.
