Colonel Willis [to Elliot]: If you were my soldier, I'd make you drop and give me fifty. In fact, drop and give me fifty!
Ethan: Don't have to do that.
Colonel Willis: You don't *have* to do anything but pay taxes and die. But can you?

But that's the job, right? Do no harm, above all...even if it causes harm somewhere else.

Will

Mario: It's not that I don't like having Ariel around, she's actually pretty cool, but--
Leanne: You're here to be a doctor. But aren't we more than that? If we're a family, and Iike to think that's what we are, shouldn't we be able to ask more of each other? I'm struggling. You can see it. I just need a little bit more.

Leanne: Dr. Dixon, a word. I no longer know if I can trust you with patients.
Elliot: Good, because I don't know if I can trust me either.

Rox: Well, at least I'm getting my steps in.
Ethan: The rare upside to a forest fire.

Dr. Stoval: Yeah, years from now, your generation will known as the one that killed journalism.
Ariel: Hey man, I get it. Magazines were different in your days, before the invention of the camera.

Angus: Still a resident. Still learning.

The minute I feel the need to justify my worth to *any* man, I've surrendered it. Now, you saved that man's life today. Own. That. Power. Because if you don't, there's always going to be someone who will take it from you.

Will [to Angus]

Will: Can you close him up or do you want me to do it?
Angus: I can do it.
Will: My point exactly.

Mario [after being shocked]: Ah, geez! That hurts like hell.
Jesse: It didn't stop your heart.
Mario: That's what you were hoping for?
Jesse: We would've gotten you back.

Gurthrie [about racism]: I know you're sick of it.
Will: I'm sick of being sick of it.

Guthrie: Look, Will, if you're asking me as a senior attending, I'd tell you the rules say that if a patient tells you don't touch him--
Both: You don't touch him.
Guthrie: But if you're asking me as a man who has been a doctor almost as long as I've been black, I say you don't give up your power.
