- Fireman John Gage: You know, for two cents I'd transfer myself.
- [DeSoto slaps two pennies down on the hood of the truck]
- Fireman John Gage: [sarcastically] Ha ha ha!
- Dr. Joe Early: [the 3 doctors and Dixie walk out of an ER room after losing a patient] Was he married?
- Dr. Larry Sunderlin: Yeah, I'll have to call his wife.
- Dr. Joe Early: We just couldn't get that pressure up.
- Dr. Larry Sunderlin: Well, we tried everything in the book.
- Dr. Kelly Brackett: Maybe someday we'll get a better book.
- Dixie McCall, R.N.: [Speaking to Dr Sunderlin] Was everything in order, doctor? Everything available? Proper medical environment? And still you lost the patient.
- Dr. Kelly Brackett: Dix.
- Dixie McCall, R.N.: [Emotional and crying] Kel, I'm too tired and whipped. I only talked to him a couple of minutes. He seemed like a nice guy.
- Dr. Larry Sunderlin: Yes, he was.
- Dixie McCall, R.N.: [Still emotional] And I'm mad and I don't care.
- Dr. Joe Early: [Speaking of Roy DeSoto to Dr Sunderlin] You chewed out a paramedic the other day.
- Dr. Larry Sunderlin: Oh, that.
- Dixie McCall, R.N.: [Speaking to Sunderlin, still emotional] And he's thinking of quitting. Doctor, he's taken care of people in places that would curl your hair. When was the last time you risked your life for a patient? Well, they do it with some regularity. Doctor, you were ten miles out of line.
- [Dixie turns and slowly walks away]
- Dr. Larry Sunderlin: I thought nurses resented paramedics.
- Dr. Kelly Brackett: Not that one. They're highly motivated men, doctor. Very conscientious. And she knows it.
- Dr. Larry Sunderlin: I didn't realize.
