Mary McDonnell: Dr. Eve Sheridan
Quotes
-
Dr. Eve Sheridan : [about mopping to the janitor] I know you've been doing it your way since you got here, but your way doesn't get into the corners.
Richard : Who goes into the corners?
Dr. Eve Sheridan : Germs, Richard. Please, just do it my way.
Richard : You're the boss.
Dr. Eve Sheridan : I'd like you to do it because you agree with me, not because I'm the boss.
Richard : Whatever you say.
Dr. Eve Sheridan : Richard, that's the wrong attitude.
Richard : Look, Doc, I get the least amount of pay for the dirtiest job in the hospital. Let me have my attitude. I know it's rotten, but it's all I've got.

Nurse Joan Thor : Why did you give that man a tetanus shot for biting his own tongue?
Dr. Eve Sheridan : He didn't bit his own tongue. The teeth marks were going the wrong way.
Nurse Joan Thor : [both laughing] Well, I thought his wife looked a little guilty!

John Harrison : [about Dr. Sheinfeld] You didn't fire him?
Dr. Eve Sheridan : No.
John Harrison : I'll do it.
Dr. Eve Sheridan : Both of us.
John Harrison : What?
Dr. Eve Sheridan : You have to fire both of us.
John Harrison : Oh, now, Eve, please...
Dr. Eve Sheridan : I'm serious, John. You hired me to run this ER and I will run it as best I can. I grant you we have to make money, but the decisions on how have to be mine or you don't need me! I will say who works in this department and who doesn't. If you can't live with that, I'll have to resign.
John Harrison : Well, since you put it that way, I'll live with it. For now.
