Chuck: [To Luka] You gotta get low, like you're having sex in a Volkswagen. Know what I mean? (edit) Luka: After all the talk we won’t save this boy for only one reason; because we don’t want to.
Weaver: It’s more complicated than that, Luka.
Luka: Yeah, you’re right. There’s also the money. (edit) (To Kerry, about the Croatian boy Ante)
Luka: I thought if I could save him, it would make me feel like, maybe I was a doctor again. (edit) Abby: Hey.
Luka: Hey.
Abby: Have you seen Carter?
Luka: Uh, he was here before. Everything o.k.?
Abby: (pause) Hey, I heard about the boy. Congratulations.
Luka: Thanks. (pause)
Abby: O.k. See you tomorrow.
Luka: Actually, you won't see me for a while. I'm going to the Congo.
Abby: What?
Luka: The Alliance de Mediciné de Internationale. I'm off tomorrow, and then I'm going for West Africa.
Abby: I didn't realize that was so soon. (they hug) Take care of your self. I mean it.
Luka: Yeah. Hold down the fort. (leaves)
(edit) Dorset: I got a hot date. Hot little brunette in radiology.
Kovac: Oh, you'll be disappointed. Hey, listen. All you'll have to do is be there as a support surgeon.
Dorset: Ah, some dying kid's desperate mom snuck him on board a plane, huh? That's almost enough to pluck at my heart strings which, I might add are notoriosly unpluckable. I'll really be disappointed?
Luka: Trust me.
Dorset: Will Corday be scrubbing in? (edit)

Dr. Romano accurately predicted his arm catching fire, during treatment in an earlier episode, after it became caught in a bed. (edit) At the end of the episode when Luka is saying good-bye to Abby before he leaves for Africa, his locker is seen against a small side wall in the lounge. There is the row of lockers but at the end there is one that is seperate, which appears to be Luka's locker. (edit) The radio talk show airing when Romano's arm catches fire is The Dennis Prager Show. (edit)
