Maya: Lexi's not a match?
Grace: How did you know.
Maya: You get used to the bad-news face.
Wolf: Ash. I need some advice. I'm kind of like in this situation.
Ashley: Yeah. I don't know how much help I'm gonna be. I've already broken rule #1 this morning.
Wolf: Never mix coffee cups with urine cups.
Ashley: Never promise your patient anything, and definitely don't promise to save them from God's wrath.
Grace: There are some long-term risks that we all need to consider. A procedure like this can cause complications.
Lexi: I don't care about the risks. Maya is my best friend. We met in first grade. I used to beat her up and take her lunch money. Yeah, no, really. It was not my best look. And then one day, maya cut me a deal. She said if I let her keep her money, that she would sit and eat lunch with me. Once a week. Which is all I really wanted anyway.
Grace: How did she figure that out?
Lexi: She gets me. Always has. I need her to be okay.
Wolf: Hey, Grace. If you want to report Dr. Hamilton for sexual assault, I read up on afew successful cases.
Grace: Are any of them first-year nurses against the CEO of a hospital?
In medicine, we're trained to be fixers. You have a problem. we have a decision tree that leads straight to the solution.

Naz: Name the major parasympathetic neurotransmitter for postganglionic fibers.
Dev: Ah.
Naz: Acetylcholine.
Dev: Wait. You didn't even look at the card.
Naz: Cards are for people who don't know the answers.
Nic; I think I'll just go where the wind takes me. You know life is what happens while you're making other plans. That's Lennon. John, not Vladimir.
Kabir: (Knocks on door and gets Grace's attention) You're the one who's so obsessed with returning this bag.
Grace: Just take your stuff. I don't want it at my place anymore. Get it yourself. It's in locker 26. Combination 34-54.
Kabir: Okay, hold on. Look, I'm sorry. It feels wrong for it to end between us.
Grace: Did it feel wrong to sleep with me and then go home to your fiancee? (He leaves. Grace returns to Nic) So, where were we?
Nic: A boyfriend betrothed to another. The plot thickens. I'm impressed. I didn't think you had it in you. Sayonara.
Nic: Two toes down. Pedicures will never be the same.
Grace: Maybe you'll get a 20& discount.
Nic: You know, when you're going downhill, you don't ever think that you're literally going to fall apart.
Grace: (Laughs) Sorry. I shouldn't laugh.
Nic: Really. It's the only thing that gets me through.
Grace: Life is hard. You have to laugh. And then buckle down, take responsibility, and be your best you. You can't just do whatever you want because it feels good in the moment. You have to make choices and stick with them.
Nic: Oh, good lord!
Grace: I'm just saying, life is all about accepting how things are.
Nic: Okay. That's enough! You want me to give up?
Grace: No. No, you misunderstood me.
Nic: No, no, I understand. In fact, suddenly everything has become very clear, so, thank you.
Grace: What are you doing?
Nic; I have become a professional patient. I eat, drink, and crap on a schedule!
Grace: You live in the hospital. It has to be on schedule.
Nic: Yeah, but, is that a life? Well, I can tell you, it's not. No. No. God. I'm getting out of here.
Grace: Okay, well, you can't just leave. You have to get a signed release from a doctor.
Nic: Who cares? I don't care. I don't care. I don't.
Grace: You should. You're a diabetic with chronic renal failure. You're a long-term patient; if you leave, you're gonna lose your bed.
Nic: I don't care. This place is keeping me alive, but I am dying inside.
Maybe it's not about how strong you need to be to face what each day brings. but who you need around you to make it okay.

Naz: I didn't go to a semi-formal baby-shower. That was a lie. And this? This is my cheese basket.
Ashley: You know? I have always wanted a rich friend.
Grace: Ruined your party. I brought a patient into your home; so, so dumb!It's like I want to lose my job. Dr. Hamilton will take the first opportunity to fire my ass, and I took a chronically ill patient on a bender. Why am I so stupid?
Ashley: You're not stupid, Grace. It was sweet.
Grace: It was naive! I knew. I always knew. Why did I get a spot on his team? Because I'm so smart? I knew what he wanted. All that attention, the hand, the graze, always finding a way to touch me, And I thought that I was so talented. I never did anything about it. I would just stand there, and smile, and laugh, and I never said anything. And every time that he crossed the line, that I knew he was crossing the line, I just, would just freeze. So stupid! and that was six of us in this room, and it was open-heart surgery, so nobody's looking at me. And he was behind me, and his hand on my back, down my waistband, and he's touching me, and I didn't do anything, I didn't say anthing. I didn't tell anybody. I knew. I knew. I always knew!
Ashley: So what if you knew? That doesn't make it okay. Nothing makes it okay.
Grace: I broke up with my boyfriend.
Wolf: Wait, you had a boyfriend?
Grace: Wow, we all really need to talk more.
