• Dr. Neela Rasgotra : I don't like working on old people, or children, or drunks...

  Michael Gallant : [sarcastically]  And what's with all the sick people? They make it such a drag.

  [Neela rolls her eyes] 

  Michael Gallant : Listen, he's just motivating you for the match rankings.

  Dr. Neela Rasgotra : You know what? Maybe they're right. Maybe this job's just too... fast for me, too unpredictable...

  Michael Gallant : It's a big hospital. If the ER's not a good fit...

  Dr. Neela Rasgotra : Then what? The NICU made me want to jump off the roof, Peds is full of screaming brats and anxious parents, and OB-GYN is a lifetime of overnights and malpractice suits! I could go into research or teaching, but is that really why I became a doctor?

  Michael Gallant : I'm sorry, were you talking to me?

  [Neela slaps his arm in exasperation; he laughs] 

  Michael Gallant : You know, this place is so up and down. You learn to... ride through the rough days. I did.

  Dr. Neela Rasgotra : You were probably good from the start.

  Michael Gallant : You kidding me? I came in young, dumb and scared. At least, you... you're good with the books.

  Dr. Neela Rasgotra : You really like it here?

  Michael Gallant : I wouldn't stay if I didn't.

• Michael Gallant : [to Carter about Neela]  You know, you guys you guys sit up there and you decide who's going to go and who's going to stay. I mean, why did you have to push her? Hmm? Why'd you have to push her? The only reason she screwed up is because you scared her into thinking she wasn't good enough! She wasn't cutting it!

  John Carter : We're talking about you now, Michael.
