ER

(discussing Sam's son) Frank: He's right at the age where it starts. Susan: Teen rebellion? Frank: Devil worship.

(discussing a patient) Sam: She needs a little TLC and maybe some Zoloft. Susan: That makes two of us.

Kovac: I'm not billing for treatment we didn't provide. Romano: It's called capitalism, Kovac. It pays your salary.

Pratt: She was my patient! Luka: Yes, and if I hadn't treated her, she would still be here. Now she's at home and feeling better. Pratt: So that's it. This is how I'm supposed to learn? Either I do it your way, or you take it away from me? Luka: Pratt, I'm trying to teach you that the way you practice medicine here is inefficient. Pratt: Oh, and letting babies die is? Luka: You really think you saved that kid today? For what? 24-hours nursing care? He's probably gonna require a life time commitment. Are you gonna be around to give it to him? Pratt: Listen, I'm sorry I'm not in some mud-hut doing amputations with a pocket knife. We have the technology and expertise to give that kid a chance! What's the sense in having it, if we don't use it? Luka: That kid has about a 5% chance of having a normal life! You have any idea how many other kids we could have treated with those resources? Pratt: I do everything I can for my patients! That's how I practice medicine. This is Chicago, not the damned Congo. Maybe you should just go back to Africa. Luka: Maybe you should go to Africa. Pratt: I know you didn't just say that to me. Luka: Maybe then you'd learn that there's more to being a doctor that ordering tests and calling consults for every patient just to cover your ass. Pratt: Stay away from my patients. From now on I present to another attending.

Tara King: I could put together some packages for you could take to the Congo. I've heard that's a pet project of yours. Quinamax would be wonderful for all the important work you're doing over there. Luka: You want me to take your over-priced antibiotic to Africa? Tara King: It has great coverage for pnemococcus and AIDS flu. Luka: Why hasn't there been a new drug for malaria in three decades? Tara King: That's a really good question... Luka: Because there's no profit in treating poor people! (picks up a trash can and throws all her marketing products in it) Tara King: My company is... Luka: Your company spends twice as much in marketing as it does in development! Which is why prescription cost has tripled in the last 10 years! Get out of here. I want you out of here. (walks towards the door) Tara King: If this is a bad time... Luka: Frank, I'm gonna go get some coffee. Page me if you need me! Tara King: O.k. Dr.Kovac if you can... (Luka empties out the trash can in the dumpster) You know, I'll just come back when you're not so busy!

(Chen, Coop, Malik and Lester are watching a carjacking on the news) Lester: You cheering for the carjacker to get away? Chen: No, no. We just want him to get a few more blocks. Once he's south of Van Buren, he'll be out of our catchment and goes to Mercy. Coop: If there's a crash... Chen: There's always a crash. Turn left. Get on the expressway. Yes, yes, go go! [car collides with another] All: Ooh! Chen: Damn it. Lester: That's gotta hurt.

Susan: (to Sam) Keep Kovac away from her. He's been known to give away free physicals.

Mr. Hollander: What about your father? Lewis: Still in Chicago. He's a test pilot for Barcalounger.

Romano: (to Luka) Hey, Slavko, what do you think this is? A Zagreb Yugo dealership?
