  • Falling apart...

    "Great"
    Everything is falling apart, specially for Abby and Carter. Abby's brother ruins Carter's grandmother funerals and from that it is just falling apart. She wants to apologize and they both understand that they need to talk, but no - Carter always runs into emergencies, finds some patient to work with rather than talk and when Abby in the end wants to talk - he just yells and she leaves.

    And Kovac. He manages to get the surgery for that sick boy and even thought he gets back, he will manage it. And Romano - oh, his life is one of them falling apart too. He puts his hand of fire and he realize - there is no getting better for him. It's over.moreless

    • (Luka is asking Elizabeth to do the surgery on the Croatian boy while she's doing surgery in the OR) Corday: It's just too far afield for me. Luka: Come on! I'll do anything, I'll mow your lawn... I'll babysit Ella. Corday: Over my dead body! Shirley: Over this guy's, too.

    • (about Eric) Abby: He's calm now, I gave him some Depakote. Carter: How much? Abby: The whole bottle.

    • Susan: Botox party? Patient: Your day will come.

    • Chuck: (to Luka) You've got to get low, like you're having sex in a Volkswagen. Know what I mean?

    • 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.

    • (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.

    • 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 MedicinĂ© 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)

    • 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?

    • Gallant: Dr. Romano, how's it going? Romano: How's what going? Gallant: Nothing... Romano: Get back to work.

    • Gallant: I'll get Corday. Romano: No get Lewis. She's the least annoying of the bunch down here.

    • Baseball Player's Father: He was on his way to be called up to 'The Show'. Luka: What show? Romano: Ignore him, he's foreign.

    • Romano: Checking out of the loser's lounge. Try not to kill anyone Luka: (in a Dracula-like accent) We'll do our best!

    • Carter: You know I came in to find you, right? I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have come. Abby: It's okay, things are gonna get better. Carter: Can you do me a favor? Can you leave me alone? Abby: What? Carter: I need some time. Can you just go?
