Luis Guzmán: Jesse Sallander

Quotes 

• Jesse Sallander : There's gonna be times when there's nobody there to back you up, when the only thing you have is your eyes and your instincts. It's important that you trust yourself. And never, ever, ever give up on the patient. No matter what.

• Malaya Pineda : Well, what about Guthrie? He's been here since dial-up.

  Jesse Sallander : Dial-up wasn't that long ago.

• Jesse Sallander : People come out here for three reasons... To think about mistakes they've already made or the one that they're about to make.

• Dr. Leanne Rorish : Malaya, can you prep the procedure, please?

  Jesse Sallander : A lot of patients here tonight. I'll be right back. You're in good hands.

  Dr. Leanne Rorish : When I came home from the hospital, there was a... a box from the police, with all of our personal effects. And among the items was... that CD,,,'The Lion King' cast recording. We must have listened to it, oh, maybe a few thousand times. And then it got lost. The accident must have shook it loose.

  [breaking down] 

  Dr. Leanne Rorish : Sometimes I think I'm being punished, and I don't know why.

  [overwhelmingly sighs] 

  Jesse Sallander : Listen to me closely.

  [takes a big breath and yells loudly] 

  Jesse Sallander : Nants... Ingonyama bagithi baba Ingonyama. I'm still working on the lyrics!

  [both laugh hysterically out aloud together]
