- Doctor: Your condition is chronic and undiagnosable.
- Megan Hunt: Keep looking!
- Doctor: Every test we do on you comes up negative. It's been four years since your car accident and there's no improvement to your paresthesia. Your career as a neurosurgeon is over, Megan. Maybe it's time you accepted it.
- Megan Hunt: You think I'd want to come back?
- Doctor: All I am saying is you got a whole new career now. Most people would count their blessings.
- Megan Hunt: I'm not most people.
- Peter Dunlop: h, Bud, Sam. This is Dr. Megan Hunt. I don't think you pulled her on a case before.
- Detective Bud Morris: Oh, I've heard all about Dr. Hunt. This must be our lucky day.
- Megan Hunt: Look at that. Already we agree on something.
- [...]
- Megan Hunt: Oh, and one more things detectives. Don't believe everything you've heard about me. The truth is much worse.
- Detective Samantha Baker: I heard you were some big neurosurgeon a few years back.
- Megan Hunt: Used to be.
- Detective Samantha Baker: o why are you working here?
- Megan Hunt: You can't kill somebody if they're already dead.
- Curtis Brumfield: Doctor Hunt.
- Megan Hunt: Curtis.
- Curtis Brumfield: I am a doctor too, you know.
- Megan Hunt: And yet no one calls you that. Strange.
- Peter Dunlop: It looks like a pumpkin wearing a tutu.
- Megan Hunt: It is the Carol Ramsey ruffled tote. And before you make another crack, it's not for me, it's for my daughter.
- Peter Dunlop: Do you ever even look at a price tag?
- Megan Hunt: She's gonna be 12 in a couple of days. I wanna get her something nice, okay?
- Peter Dunlop: For 1100 dollars! Are you seriously considering this?
- Megan Hunt: Please stop talking.
- Peter Dunlop: Okay, but getting your daughter that bag is a bad idea.
- Megan Hunt: Oh, really? And what can you possibly know about my daughter?
- Peter Dunlop: You know something? You're right. I've been assigned to you, for what, six month now? What could I possibly know about you daughter?
- Megan Hunt: Lacey lives with her father. We divorced five years ago. He got full custody. And he got it because a woman who works 18 hours a day... is an absentee mother, and a man who works the same hours is a good provider. Do you have any idea what it takes to be a practicing neurosurgeon? I was damn good at what I did! I saved lives. And-And if I have missed play dates and phone calls because of that, then I'm very sorry. But I was under the bizarre impression that my husband had my back, and instead he... I lost my child to my career, and then I lost my career, all because of the damn accident... My hands still go numb.
- Megan Hunt: I told you. I cannot pick Lacey up today. I-I have surgery in a half an hour, and I am late already! I have a job!
- Detective Bud Morris: I know a lot of M.E.s, and none of 'em are as big a pain in the ass as you are.
- Megan Hunt: They're also not as good as I am.
- Detective Bud Morris: You like to think that, don't you?
- Megan Hunt: When did she kick you out detective? You have an impression on your ring finger where a wedding ring was recently removed. That cut on your chin is from a double-bladed razor, probably disposable, and your aftershave... I'm hoping it's the best the hotel has to offer.
- Megan Hunt: Do you know any bachelor that would get snipped instead of wearing a condom?
- Peter Dunlop: Not one.
