This is the second time in the series a character has suspected that Santa Claus was real. The first time was in Season 2's "A Miracle Happens Here," when Nurse Carol Hathaway has a patient who looks like Santa Claus. She later finds he has disappeared and hears Santa's laugh as she looks out the window.
Goof: In the fourth act, Luka refers to "Jasna and the kids" dying, but Jasna was the name of Luka's daughter; his wife's name was Danijela.
Morris: Honey, Melia, it is so good to see you. Wh-What are you doing here? Melia: I ran away. Morris: Why, sweetie? Melia: Because of Donald, Mom's new husband. He won't let me celebrate Christmas. He says there's no such thing as Santa. Morris: No, he didn't. Melia: He says there's no elves, no reindeer, and Christmas is just made up so people will spend money. Hope: No, that's crazy. Melia: So I decided I would spend the holiday with my real dad. (to Morris) That's you.
Morris: Melia? What...? What are you doing here? Melia: Daddy. Hope: Daddy? (Morris walks to Melia and they hug each other) Ray: Great. Another one of Morris's petri dish kids. Ben: Wait, Morris has kids? Ray: Four, that we know of.
Frank: You waiting for Weaver? Sam: Yeah. Morris: Well, don't hit her. She's crippled.
Morris: It is like some dorky angel has taken control of my mouth.
Ray: (to Gates) If you're making promises you have no intention of keeping, just cut loose, minimize the damage okay. Gates: This isn't just about the kids is it? Ray: No, it's not.
Morris: (To a patient) Hi Leonore, I'm Dr. Morris. I would wish you a Merry Christmas but as an employee of the County, I'm duty bound to respect the seperation of church and state.
(Luka and Abby are dressed as Rudolph and his elf, and Luka starts kissing Abby in her neck) Abby: (Smiles) Back off, Rudolph. Luka: Be nice. Abby: You be nice... Or you're not gonna get your special present. Luka: What kind of present? Abby: Mmm, a slightly naughty one. (They start giggling) Luka: My favorite kind.
Morris: (To himself, on turning down Hope who asked him out) Idiot!... Moron!... Aahhh... (Takes off his hat) She-She was right there! Right there for the fondling, and y-you just let her go! Why!? Why!? (Scratches his head) W-why'd you had to be such a good Christian? Hah... There's no... There's no God, There's no... Christmas. (Looks up and screams) There's no freakin' Santa Claus! (And it starts snowing).
Sam: Come on. Everyone deserves a little bit of happiness at Christmas time.
Pratt: What's goin' on Morris? Morris (Dressed as a Santa) Oh, we did okay Greg. Pratt: Just okay? Did we rock the house, or we were closed to patients? Morris: No, we just moved people through. Pratt: All right, all right. Go ahead, you can gloat now. Tell me all about what a great manager you are: I saved Jerry, I diagnosed DID, yada yada. Morris: You know what? I'm going to go with humility this time. (Gives Pratt a tap on his shoulder). For real. Pratt: (Pauses and gives him a look) Humili-what?
Morris: At the end of the day, it's just us in the mirror. We're the ones who determine our own moral value. And to me, that's what Christmas is all about.
Luka: When Jasna and the kids died, I needed to make a change and decided to move here. It made my brother really angry. He said I was a coward, that I was running away. It's only recently I've come to know he was wrong. I wasn't running away from anything, I was running to you. I'll never let anything take this away!
Abby: Did I mention how hot you look in antlers? (Luka sighs)
(Angrily, explaining to Abby why he threatened Curtis Ames.) Luka: I did it because I love you and I love Joe, and I wasn't going to let that a**hole keep threatening us!
Neela: (to Ray and Tony) Why don't you either slap each other silly, or kiss now and get it over with.
Music: "River," Sarah McLachlan
Although listed in the opening credits, Laura Innes does not appear in this episode.
Katey: (to Neela) We call him "McCreamy." This a reference to the ABC medical drama Grey's Anatomy, where two doctor characters have the nicknames "McDreamy" and "McSteamy."
