Maria Amardo:
[repeated line] Stay back of the white line!

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.

Dr. Howard Sheinfeld:
[flirting with a woman in the lobby] You're gonna be fine, don't worry.

Maria Amardo:
She's not sick.

Dr. Howard Sheinfeld:
Great! That's my specialty: curing healthy people.

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.
