Quotes
-
Dr. Claire Browne : He looks at something. I don't know what he's looking at. Is he, you know, is... is he curious? Is he concerned? He won't answer me.
Dr. Aaron Glassman : You're having trouble communicating with him. It's a weekday. It's Shaun. Hm, let's see. That seems about right.
Dr. Claire Browne : He seemed different at the hospital. I could kind of talk to him.
Dr. Aaron Glassman : Yeah, well, he knows what to expect in the hospital. Outside, everything's different. Everything's new. New stimuli.
Dr. Claire Browne : So what do I do? I-I... I don't know what he's thinking.
Dr. Aaron Glassman : Claire, you're not gonna figure out what he's thinking, so don't even try. In fact, if he's thinking about something in his own mind, just let him be. I'd appreciate it if people gave me the same courtesy.
Dr. Claire Browne : I thought with your history...
Dr. Aaron Glassman : Claire, if you want to connect with him, you're gonna have to figure out your own way in.

Dr. Marcus Andrews : Aoki is pushing Melendez on me for the VIP.
Dr. Aaron Glassman : Ah. You didn't get the e-mail blast. Rich people aren't allowed to die in this hospital. You're not the young star anymore. Melendez is.
Dr. Marcus Andrews : I know that.
Dr. Aaron Glassman : And you're upset about the why? Why does Aoki think that? You should be asking "who".
Dr. Marcus Andrews : Who? I know who. Melendez.
Dr. Aaron Glassman : Who are you? Are you a Chief who wants to be top surgeon, or are you a Chief who wants to be president? 'Cause if it's the latter, take your ego, shove it in a cupboard somewhere, and start acting presidential.

Allegra Aoki : Jessica, what's the legal burden here?
Jessica Preston : Significant. If we move forward with this transplant, we could lose privileges from the registry.
Dr. Neil Melendez : If it was discovered.
Dr. Marcus Andrews : If it were discovered? How narrow can you be about this?
Allegra Aoki : Dr. Glassman, where are you on this?
Dr. Aaron Glassman : I can make a good argument either way.
Dr. Marcus Andrews : Go ahead, please.
Dr. Aaron Glassman : Better to remove the arguments all together.
Dr. Marcus Andrews : What the hell is he talking about?
Dr. Aaron Glassman : All I'm talking about is that we have a patient in this hospital who needs a liver. We also just happen to have a liver that needs a patient.
Dr. Marcus Andrews : It's not that simple.
Dr. Aaron Glassman : It is that simple if you consider the patient. Rules are secondary.
Dr. Marcus Andrews : But is saving this patient worth the risk of not being able to save hundreds of others?
Dr. Neil Melendez : I don't have hundreds of patients right now. I have one, and his name is Chuck.

Dr. Marcus Andrews : You don't like the cafeteria food?
Dr. Aaron Glassman : They only make one thing well.
Dr. Marcus Andrews : What does it say when the staff sees the president of the hospital not eating their cafeteria food?
Dr. Aaron Glassman : Well, it says the president of the hospital isn't allowed in the kitchen. You sat down. What can I do for you?
Dr. Marcus Andrews : I'd like your advice.
Dr. Aaron Glassman : Really? Where's Aoki? Did she die?
Dr. Marcus Andrews : [standing up] This was a mistake.
Dr. Aaron Glassman : That's insulting. Sit down. At least hear what I have to say, and then decide it's bad advice.
