- Dr. Luka Kovac: I'm not billing for treatment we didn't provide.
- Dr. Robert Romano: It's called capitalism, Kovac. It pays your salary.
- Dr. Gregory Pratt: She was my patient!
- Dr. Luka Kovac: Yes, and if I hadn't treated her, she would still be here. Now she's at home and feeling better.
- Dr. Gregory Pratt: So, that's it? This is how I'm supposed to learn? Either I do it your way or you take it away from me?
- Dr. Luka Kovac: Pratt, I'm trying to teach you the way you practice medicine here is inefficient.
- Dr. Gregory Pratt: Oh, and letting babies die is?
- Dr. Luka Kovac: You really think you saved that kid today? For what? 24-hours nursing care. He's probably gonna require a lifetime committment. Are you gonna be around to give it to him?
- Dr. Gregory Pratt: Listen, I'm sorry I'm not in some mud-hut doing amputations with a pocketknife. We have the technology and expertise to give that kid a chance! What's the sense in having it if we don't use it?
- Dr. Luka Kovac: That kid has about a 5% chance of having a normal life. You have any idea how many other kids we could have treated with those resources?
- Dr. Gregory Pratt: I do everything I can for my patients! That's how I practice medicine. This is Chicago, not the damned Congo. Maybe you should go back to Africa.
- Dr. Luka Kovac: Maybe you should go to Africa.
- Dr. Gregory Pratt: I know you didn't just say that to me.
- Dr. Luka Kovac: Maybe then you'd learn that there's more to being a doctor than ordering tests and calling consults for every patient just to cover your ass.
- Nurse Abby Lockhart: I'm beginning to hate her.
- Dr. Susan Lewis: She's a med student.
- Nurse Abby Lockhart: I'm a med student.
- Dr. Susan Lewis: You know, now that you mention it, she's pissing me off too. Come on, let's hate her together.
- Dr. Gregory Pratt: [to Kovac] Listen, I'm sorry I'm not in some mud hut doing amputations with a pocket knife.
