The Night Shift Quotes
Paul: You're a workaholic, okay? My whole life whenever I wanted to see you, I had to go to a hospital to do it.
Julian: So you learned how to use a hemostat instead of throw a baseball? I guess that turned out horribly for you.
Kids hate to disappoint their parents. Trust me, I know. But, I would gladly have my daughter hurt me instead of hurting herself. Same with your mom, Abby. I'm telling you, you'll feel better. You will.
Drew
Jordan: Dear God man, do you even think before you shoot? First of all, Drew is a hero for what he did out there. And second, if you want Paul to come back you need to stop getting in my way by picking fights.
Julian: He hasn't committed yet?
Jordan, No, and he's not going to if you don't stop trying to show him that you're his boss.
Julian: But I am his boss, Jordan. So get him where I'm at, and if you can't, then our deal's off.
Jordan: You're going to need an operation to remove your lips from that man's butt.
Scott: Look, I don't like him either, but he's a necessary evil.
Jordan: So, what? Pucker up, buttercup?
Cain: Perhaps we should let it work, no?
Shannon: This guy punched Sarah and almost ripped my head off, how much longer do you want to wait?
Paul: Hey Shannon, you got a minute?
Shannon: I haven't had a second to pee.
Paul: Look, just real quick, um -
Shannon: Later, Paul!
Jordan: I feel like I have been coloring inside of the lines for so long, and what has it gotten me? I've been shot at, blown up, almost killed more times than I can count. I've lost a baby, sunk relationships. I feel like maybe I need to do things differently.
Scott: Yeah, not so much for me. I feel like after everything this past year I just need some stability.
Jordan: Is that why you hitched your wagon to Darth Vader over there?
Jordan: I'm sorry. I didn't realize...
Julian: That's because you've never walked in my shoes. I make hard decisions every day. Deciding who lives or who dies. So please tell me, why should I bump your friend here ahead of little Jesse's mom?
Jordan: What do you want?
Julian: What I want? Everyone who left back at work, with you in charge. I read your plans from a few years back. They're not that far off from what I'd like to do with this place.
Jordan: Does everyone include Topher?
Julian: No. He's not a part of the deal.
Jordan: He's the heart and soul of this hospital.
Julian: This hospital doesn't need a heart and soul. It needs a leader. So everyone back to work, no Topher, or I won't operate on your friend. The ball's in your court, so do something with it, before my offer expires.
Scott: So what are your plans for the future?
Paul: I guess try to find a residency at another hospital.
Scott: No guarantees of that. And, even if you got one, you're going to lose a year at best, and at worst you're going to start completely over.
Paul: Wow, I hadn't really thought of that.
Scott: Seems like you haven't been doing much thinking at all lately.
Scott: There was too much damage to his heart.
TC: Yes, and everything else.
A little advice, Paul. Don't try to hard to please everybody. You'll only end up with regrets.
Marilyn
TC: There's a lotta programs that can help. You gotta turn it around man, otherwise you're gonna drown in pride and self pity. I've been there. You gotta drop the pride, the BS. There's a lotta people that are willing to help, but you gotta ask for it and then, if they off it, you gotta take it. I'm offerin', so just take it.
Denny: OK. Thanks.
