Susan: Oh, this is unbelievable.
Abby: (walking by) What? Weaver has a boyfriend? (edit) Abby: Hey Ray. You forgot something.
Ray: What, Abby?
Abby: (shoves a needle in him) Your flu shot. (edit) Sam: Where'd he get it? (long pause) You subscribe?
Luka: I like the articles!
Sam: Oh, please. (edit) (Carter has his rock-climbing harness on backwards)
Carter: Is this how this thing's supposed to go?
Brett: Sure, if you wanna hang upside down by your balls. (edit) Neela: Screw your gig. Medicine is not a day job!
Ray: This coming from someone who was making hot dogs three months ago.
Neela: I was off at 7, Abby was off at 7, but we were still there taking care of our patients.
Ray: Know what? We would never leave the hospital if we stuck around tucking in every patient.
Neela: I'm not talking about every patient. I'm talking about one kid. He trusted you with the most important decision of his life, and you left. (edit)

Dubenko: You don't get in trouble for doing something in the patient's best interest.
Abby: Tell that to Dr. Corday.
Abby is alluding to Dr. Elizabeth Corday's illegal organ donation procedure, which saved the patient but resulted in disciplinary charges that ultimately led to Dr. Corday resigning (episode #227, "Fear "). (edit)
