Sympathy is something that almost everybody has. But empathy...that gift that allows you to feel what other people are feeling, you got that locked down. So you don't leave. Because this is not your job, son. It's your calling.

Rollie [to Elliot]

Elliot: I quit.
Rollie: What?
Elliot: I'm sorry, I can't -- I can't do this.
Rollie: Elliot, listen to me. Do you know why you're good at it? Because they're not your patients. They're you.

Emmanuel: My daughter and I, we've been at odds with each other lately, and I was just asking God for guidance.
Rollie: And did you get an answer?

EMT: Description?
Rollie: Approximately six months old, a female... Do I really have to describe an infant to you?! Tell you what, just bring me whatever babies you find. How's that?

I'd quit this place if I could...but I can't.

Everything Ihave ever gotten in my life, I've had to fight for. You never fought for anything.

Mario [to Angus]

Ethan: Look, you're gonna have to cut it short. I was out on a ride along --
Leanne: Another ride along? You need a hobby.
Ethan: Pot, kettle.

Jesse: So you want your Mama back, huh?
Campbell: I...I didn't -- I didn't say that.
Jesse: Say it. Come on. I want to hear the words.
