We learn that Luka's confirmation (saint's) name is Mihael (Michael), after the patron saint of the sick. In the many Christian churches the Sacrament of Confirmation, which traditionally takes place between 12 and 16 years of age, affirms the receipient's membership in the church. At the time of confirmation, a saint's name is chosen by the recipient.
Corday: Please allow me to say that I feel terrible about what's happened. Mr. Patterson: Which part? Me being crippled or you getting sued for malpractice?
Mark: Life's too short, you know. Luka: I do.
Abby: I don't want to be your sponsor anymore. Carter: Whoh, where's that coming from? Abby: I care about you and I care about your recovery but I can't keep saying the same things over and over because it's hard enough for me to do it for myself.
Mark: Elizabeth, we're not saints, we just try and get it right as often as we can.
Kerry: Look I know that's it's been tense between us and I really don't mean it to be. Kim: I'm sure it'll pass. Kerry: Kim I want you to know that I respect you as a colleague Kim: Today not withstanding. Kerry: I miss you. Kim: Oh that will pass too. In a few weeks we'll just be friendly co-workers all over again. Kerry: Yeah, I've been thinking…and I'm not sure that's what I want.
Benton: (to Cleo) Look, I know you might not want to hear this right now; I know it's been rough, with everything…between us…I'm not easy, I haven't been here for you, not the way you've been here for me. I've never worked at being with someone, I've never even wanted to, but I want to, with you. I love you.
Lawyer: There was a general recall on the endoscopic curage that you used. Corday: I don't remember having any trouble with the curage. Romano: none the less, there was a recall. Lawyer: we also sent a confidentiality agreement keeping the details of the suite privte meaning so you can't speak to anyone about it. Corday: But there was noting faulty with the equipment. Lawyer: Apparently there was, and the manufacturer has deeper pockets. Corday: Eh, well that's wrong! Lawyer: Look at it as a gift. Romano: We pay out the nose and you get a little dig at the national debtor bank. How lucky is that?
Mr Patterson: (To Elizabeth) My lawyer tells me I can't really blame you…but I can't quite forgive you either. I imagine I'll always remember your face. I wonder whether you'll remember mine?
Weaver: (to Carter) You've made a remarkable comeback from a serious addiction and I think I talk for everyone when I say we're really proud of you.
Dave: The whole celibacy thing was always a sticking point for me. The Bishop: Yeah me too, but I got over it. Dave: Yeah, well, hmm…
Weaver: (referring to a patient with vaginal bleeding) Yeah she had it last month as well, it's called her period.
Dave: So what religion do they practise in your country? Nurse: This is my country Dave.
Cleo: (About Kynesha) We're never going to get rid of her.
Romano: (to Corday) You called me out of a lunch because you can't tie off a liver?
Bishop Stewart: What was your confirmation name? Kovac: Mihael. Bishop Stewart: ...after the patron Saint of the sick. How appropriate.
Bishop Stewart: Croatia is a very Catholic country. Luka: Yes. Bishop Stewart: Are you Catholic? Luka: No.
Luka: Did you land on your side or on your back? Bishop Stewart: On my keister. Several small children found it amusing.
Kim: Kerry I, I think that we should…not let what happened between us interfere patient care. Kerry: What? Kim: We're both professionals. Kerry: Excuse me, I, I did what I thought was medically appropriate. Kim: And it had nothing to do with the fact that you've been avoiding me? Kerry: It doesn't and I haven't but if you'd like me to call you every time someone the least bit disturbed comes in to the ER, I will. Kim: Thank-you.
Luka: So any fool can get into heaven if he's scared enough to say he's sorry right before he dies? Bishop Stewart: Dr. Kovac, everyone deserves to be comforted in their darkest hour. Luka: Too bad you weren't there to comfort the little girl he killed. Bishop Stewart: I didn't need to be. God was there. Luka: Was he?
In this episode, Luka denies the fact that he is a father. This is particularly revelant, as his denial comes at the beginning of a story-line ark involving Luka finally confronting his past in Croatia with the help of the Bishop.
At one point in the episode, Bishop Stewart notes "Croatia is a very Catholic country." At present, Croatia is approximately 85% Roman Catholic, unlike neighboring Serbia, which is tied to the Eastern church. This difference was, in part, the cause of the 1991 Croatian War of Independence.
Although in the opening credits, Ming-Na does not appear in this episode.
