Thursdays 9:00 PM on NBCTransplant Season 2 Episode 1: "Guardrail" Quotes
Bash: So what's going to happen now? With Dr. Bishop out?
Mags: Well the board appoints an acting chief until they know his status. If they're smart it's Atwater. If they're stupid ...
Bash: Everything changes.
Dr. Novak: Protocol what be to leave the shrapnel in place until she got into surgery.
Bash: Protocol would have killed her.
Dr. Novak: Well, I disagree then. It was a ballsy move that may have saved her life, but you still damaged her airway when you blew up the balloon, and that's not gonna be good. What is your name Dr.?
Bash: Bashir Hamed.
Dr. Novak: Why don't you get her cleaned up, Dr. Bashir Hamed, and I'll let the surgeons tell us what the damage is?
Bash: I'm sorry, but who are you?
Dr. Novak: Mark Novak. I'm the acting chief of this emergency department.
Dr. Wong: What do you know about the new acting chief?
Mags: He did his residency at Memorial back in '05 under Bishop, um joined specialty in ED ICU I believe, then went overseas, got back, and he's been an attending in our ICU for about a month. Works mostly nights.
Bash: What about you, Allie? Is there anyone we can call for you; family you want down here?
Allie: It's just my mom and her boyfriend but we don't, we don't talk anymore. I never really fit in with anyone from home but Sandra built this world for kids like I was and made me a part of it so she, she's the one I'd call.
Dr. Malone: So, how angry are you?
Dr. Atwater: Oh, maybe he's different now.
Bash: Sir, back in trauma, if I was short with you, it's only because I -
Dr. Novak: You took a risk, saved a kid's life, and you didn't realize you were talking to your new boss. And now, you don't know where you stand after breaking protocol. Well, I would say, somewhere between the choice you made and the outcome. So, let's see how the kid does.
Dr. Malone: Oh, let me guess. You want me to rush labs for Lizzie Stall?
Mags: Nope. She is not my patient anymore. How is the new guy already telling me I got too much on my plate? And you know, nothing against Theo, but I'm just saying, he flew back on a helicopter after being home for like three hours, and have you ever heard anyone ask him how much sleep her got?
Dr. Malone: I have not.
Mags: No. Exactly. Jeez. What is it about me that makes people concerned about how much I take on? It's infantilizing. What?
Dr. Malone: You need their approval.
Mags: I don't.
Dr. Malone: I saw you in Bishop's room. You're wanting him to tell you what to do even when he can't talk. You look up to him, Mags. But I know him. He's not god. He's just another messy human being who is wrong as much as he is right.
June: I understand, Lucas. I get it. I hate staying still also and it makes my skin crawl when someone tells me that I have to.
Lucas: My mother says I never stop moving.
June: My mom says the same thing. Then I became a surgeon and I had other people's lives in my hands, just no room for wrong moves. So I had to learn to control that panicky feeling, and I'm pretty sure that if I can do it, you can do it too.
Focus on what you can hear. Can you hear your heart beating? Sounds like drums, right? Focus on that rhythm. It's a little fast right now. You need to bring that down, so see if you can use your breathing to slow down the rhythm of that beat.
June
I'm real, Bashir.

Lizzie: I just liked to feel normal for once.
Mags: Let me tell you something, Lizzie. Normal is boring. I know it's hard to see this now, or ever really, but, you know that things that set you apart, even the hard ones? They're the ones that make you strong.
Bash: Allie? Why should you never trust atoms? Because they make up everything. Emily wanted me to tell you that.
Allie: Thanks.
