[During a trauma, surrounded by Luka, Gallant, Carter, and Malik]
Corday: How come there's only men in here? (edit) Sam: Actually, I was thinking. It might be a good time to take a break.
Luka: What?
Sam: You know, just take it slower. You know what I'm saying.
Luka: Uh, no I don't.
Sam: We're not exclusive, right? We're just, like, dating or whatever. No commitment, no strings, no co-parenting. Just keep it casual, o.k?
Luka: O.k. (edit) Carter: It's a prenatal package for Kem. Plus some stuff that they need at the clinic. Sufrin, Tributalin...
Luka: Yeah, I hear they are really desperate for roses in the Congo. How long has it been?
Carter: Since we've seen each other? 34 days. (whispers) 16 hours, 12 minutes. But we e-mail each other. She says she's really starting to show. Alright. See you later. (leaves)
Jerry: (To Luka) Will you hand me a tissue? He really misses her. (edit) Susan: (to her father) I'm going to have a baby. Chuck is the father and you're the grandfather. (edit) Alex: I think I found a roach. ...naaah, it's just an old raisin. (edit)

When Neela is starting to lose it and goes into the airlock to be taken out of the hyperbaric chamber, the technician says that "going up" (depressurizing) is easier -- that's a big goof, since anybody that knows anything about scuba-diving will tell you: it takes a lot longer to depressurize than it does to pressurize "going down." You can go down fairly quickly, but if you go as fast it can be very painful, and you can get nitrogen bubbles in your blood that can potentially be fatal. (edit)
