Jesse: You hug me any tighter, your boobs are gonna crack my ribs.
Leanne: I hug you any tighter, you're gonna have cookie dough coming out your ass.

Angus: All I've wanted since I first walked into Trauma One was to feel like I belonged here.
Mike: You do belong here.
Angus: And just when I was starting to feel like I did...[sighs]. He took this from me. I took this from me. I killed someone, and now I can't walk in here without thinking about that. The pills let me not think about it.

Campbell: Is your emergent craniotomy as the life of the possible next leader of the free world?
Neal: It is to him. It's his wife.

Heather: Now I'm a drug dealer.

Mario: Fine. Plain English, you're being a dick.

Down there, it's all about bougies and sutures and duct tape. In here, it's about hands. So far, all you've shown me are the hands of a carpenter. What I'm waiting to see is if you have the hands of an artist.

Will [to Neal]

"Nurse" comes from the word nourish. Did you know that? You develop the plan, write the orders. We have your back. We double check your doses, cover your mistakes. We don't work for you, Leanne. We are you. Your care depends on us.

Jesse

Jesse: I guess you don't want a new mom, huh?
Luke: No.
Jesse: Yeah, I wouldn't want one, either. But you know what I can always use? A friend.
