Favorite Emily Owens, M.D. Quotes
Will: You make some sweeping proclamation that you're in love with me?
Emily: I would hardly call it a proclamation.
Will: Emily, we were friends, and coworkers, and now every time I ask you to run a CBC I'm gonna wonder if you're reading something into it.
Emily: Trust me, I'm not...it's very clear that you don't like me.
Will: That's the thing. I do like you. A lot. You kept me sane in med school. You were the person I could unload to, laugh with.
Emily: We can still do that. Look, I was just freaking out and I was so nervous about the job and I attached all this significance to you because you were familiar. But the point is you said no and that's it.
Will: Yeah?
Emily: I mean, did you think I was going to pine over you forever? You are a cool guy, but come on, I am moving on.
[to Emily] You felt bad? Let me tell you about bad. When you ignore hospital protocol that's bad. When you go over my head, that's bad. And when you piss me off twice in your first week of work, that's very bad.

Micah
Emily: I lost a patient today, and I know that it's gonna get easier and it's only hitting me like this because it's the first time, but that doesn't make me feel any better, because there's also something so sad about that.
Will: I don't think it will.
Emily: What?
Will: Get easier for you. I think you'll get better at hiding it, but I don't think it'll get easier for you.
Emily: Do me a favor and don't tell Dr. Pindari that.
Will: You know, Emily, you're a different kind of doctor than she is, and for my money, if I were sick, I'd want you.
Emily: Okay, fine. I am not over you yet, okay, but I am trying very hard. But were also both adults so until that happens, you have to man up and deal with it.

Emily: Yes, please.
Will: Fair enough.

Cassandra: Is that a threat?
Emily: Maybe.

Will: Just so you know, high school wasn't the greatest for me either.
Emily: My house was TP'ed once a week.
Will: You win.
