Neela Rasgotra : [to Abby] I had a baby brother. He died when he was six days old. I was only three. I remember sitting in my mom's hospital room eating ice cream, but I don't actually remember him. The NICU's just so sad all the time. How can you stand it?
Nurse Abby Lockhart : I don't know. When I was an OB nurse, the preemies freaked me out. I thought they looked like frogs. I was pretty sure I was gonna hate the NICU.
Neela Rasgotra : But you don't.
Nurse Abby Lockhart : No, I don't. It's not just about the babies. You know, so much of it is about taking care of the parents and it turns out tragic family dynamics are my specialty.

Nurse Abby Lockhart : It's in the trash.
Virgie : Find it, weigh it and I just might let you get some sleep tonight.

Neela Rasgotra : Why are cigars associated with babies? This stinky thing has no place in a nursery.

Nurse Abby Lockhart : [to Neela] So, are you still thinking about neonatology?
Neela Rasgotra : Not in a million years.
Nurse Abby Lockhart : I hope you didn't let Raab discourage you.
Neela Rasgotra : It's more than that. She thinks you should go into NICU, you know.
Nurse Abby Lockhart : Yeah.
Neela Rasgotra : You should.
Nurse Abby Lockhart : No, thanks.
Neela Rasgotra : I bet every Attending tries to recruit you.
Nurse Abby Lockhart : Oh, please. Look who's talking. Your mind is a sponge.
Neela Rasgotra : Maybe, but you've got that thing. I don't know what it is, but it's much harder to learn.
Nurse Abby Lockhart : I think all that cider's going to your head.
