• Nurse Lucy Papandrao : Helen. I've been thinking things over. We have to work together, and we have to get along. And life's just so short, I mean this case could drag on in the courts for months. So...

  [Slaps Rosenthal in the face] 

  Nurse Lucy Papandrao : There, now we're even. I'll drop the lawsuit.

• Dr. Philip Chandler : Helen, why wasn't Mr. Pared given his morning propranolol? Or does someone have a grudge against his recovery or something?

  Nurse Helen Rosenthal : I wasn't here this morning, I was busy being interrogated by a shyster lawyer.

  Nurse Lucy Papandrao : Mr. Pared's pulse was 42, it's in his chart. And some people can't face the music.

  Nurse Helen Rosenthal : $15,000 in punitive damages, where am I gonna get that kind of money?

  Nurse Lucy Papandrao : Mud wrestling?

  Dr. Philip Chandler : [Walking away, mumbling under his breath]  Have a nice day.

  [Rosenthal and Papandreo walk into the Nurse's office] 

  Nurse Helen Rosenthal : Did you enjoy putting me through hell this morning? Insults and insinuations?

  Nurse Lucy Papandrao : You threw the punch, honey.

  Nurse Helen Rosenthal : You provoked it. Besides I've seen you treat patients worse. You know, Lucy, nobody around here likes you, because you treat people like dirt. You're so miserable in your own life that you have to make other people pay for it?

  Nurse Lucy Papandrao : Don't talk to me that way.

  Nurse Helen Rosenthal : You're a vindictive little bitch, Lucy.
