- [Carol is studying with William]
- Carol Hathaway: [reading] "A man pushes a vacuum cleaner with a force of 70 Newtons at a 45-degree angle, and moves the vacuum cleaner 5 meters. How much work has he done?" Well... let's start with the unlikelihood of a man pushing a vacuum cleaner.
- Dr. Doug Ross: So, Natalie, you get a lot of ear infections, do you?
- Natalie: Can you just give me the Amoxicillin? I have a playdate.
- [Dr. Ross begins to examine her ears]
- Natalie: You don't need to look! Just give me the antibiotic! Augmentin will be just fine if you're worried about resistance!
- Dr. Doug Ross: You know a lot of things about a lot of things, don't you, Natalie?
- Natalie: Yes, I do.
- Dr. Doug Ross: So do you want to tell Nurse Hathaway about Coulomb's law?
- Carol Hathaway: Ah, that's the fundamental law of electrostatics, which states that the force between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of their charges.
- Dr. Doug Ross: And inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Isn't that right, Natalie?
- Natalie: [glares at Dr. Ross]
- Dr. Doug Ross: It looks like snow.
- Carol Hathaway: It smells like snow.
- Dr. Doug Ross: Carol, what does that mean?
- Carol Hathaway: You can smell snow coming. It has a smell.
- Dr. Doug Ross: It smells like burritos.
- Carol Hathaway: Look, what are we going to do about Mark?
- Dr. Doug Ross: Put him on a plane or have him killed.
- Carol Hathaway: I don't think I can take this much longer, you know? Maybe you should talk to him.
- Dr. Doug Ross: I talked to him once, he said he was okay. Ask him again, it gets a little weird.
- Carol Hathaway: Ohh, you'd be violating the guy code.
- Dr. Doug Ross: Guy code?
- Carol Hathaway: Yeah, of noncommunication.
- Carol Hathaway: Have you seen Mark? Is he okay?
- Dr. Doug Ross: Put it this way, he called a staff meeting.
- Carol Hathaway: Mark Greene?
- Dr. Doug Ross: Yep.
- Carol Hathaway: Glasses? Receding hair line? Broken heart?
- Dr. Doug Ross: That's the one.
- [Dr. Carter is about to cut down a Christmas tree]
- Dr. Abby Keaton: Did I ever tell you about my lumberjack fantasy?
- Dr. John Carter: Abby, this is a very sacred tradition.
- Dr. Abby Keaton: Ohhh, it's a sacred fantasy.
- [Dr. Benton is talking to himself, preparing for surgery]
- Dr. Peter Benton: Meckel's is like a rose-colored index finger protruding from the antimesenteric border.
- Nurse Shirley: Then you bake it in a 400-degree oven for an hour...
- Dr. Peter Benton: It can occasionally attach itself to the umbilical area, producing a fistula, which is, uh...
- Nurse Shirley: Fresh rosemary, a little pepper...
- Dr. Peter Benton: a... uh, pipe connecting Meckel's to the outside world.
- Nurse Shirley: A clove of garlic under the skin...
- Dr. Peter Benton: [annoyed, to Shirley] You know, excuse me, I'm trying to visualize here.
- [while performing a routine operation]
- Dr. David Morgenstern: I'm in the tall grass, so I take the 5 iron, and I sail that puppy but 2 inches from the cup. It was poetry. It was a sonnet. It was practically a haiku!
- Al Boulet: Living with AIDS... that's nothing, but... knowing I gave it to you... there's no pill for that. I just have to face it. Every day. Hating me might feel good, but it won't change anything.
- Jeanie Boulet: It doesn't feel good, Al. Nothing about this feels good.
