Episode Notes -  |
Laura Innes does not appear in this episode.
Quotes:
Carol: Don't they have Valentines Day in Croatia?
Luka: Oh yes we do. We even have these little hearts. (reads the Love Hearts) "Be mine"...
Carol: I don't recomend you eating that.
Luka: ..."Dear one"...
Carol: I gotta get to radiology.
Luka: ..."Cutty-pie"...
Carol: That's "Cutie-pie".
Luka: (sarcastically) Oh, thank you.
Carter: Ya know, there are warmer places to be alone. There's the furnace in the basement and the incubators up in the NICU.
Abby: I'd like to see you in an incubator in the NICU.
Carter: I'm happy to try.
Abby: All those years as an OB Nurse, 98% of what you see is pure joy. It's the happiest day of most people's lives. And the tragedy is horrible... 'cause it's a life cut short. The mom... the baby...
Carter: Sure.
Abby: Today was the first day I saw an old person die and I guess I'm just not used to it.
Carter: Well, you want the good news or the bad news?
Abby: Give me the bad.
Carter: You never get used to it. The good news is you never get used to it. At least I haven't. So you may have come up here to be alone -- but you're not.
Greene: [To Chen and Malucci] Do you know why I had only one child? Because I didn't want to listen to the two of them arguing in the back seat of my car.
Abby: Today was the first day I saw an old person die, and I guess I'm just not used to it.
Carter: Well, you want the good news or the bad news?
Abby: Give me the bad.
Carter: You never get used to it. The good news is, you never get used to it. At least I haven't. So, you may have come up here to be alone, but you're not.
Elizabeth: I'm sorry, Robert, I just don't think it's proper to be operating on your dog.
Robert: I'm chief of staff, is that proper enough for you? Besides, what would you have me do? Leave her to some poodle surgeon?
Elizabeth: Robert, this is a dog.
Robert: Correction, Lizzie, this is my dog.
Trivia:
Luka says "Cutty-pie" instead of "Cutie-pie". This was the first Lukaism he ever said.
In a piano bar, John Cullum [David Greene] sings the showtune "They Call the Wind Mariah" from the 1969 movie Paint Your Wagon. Cullum was a singer and actor in many well known Broadway musicals, including the title song "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever".
Lo-Fidelity All-Stars's "Battleflag" is also used again when Carter sees Paul Sobriki again in episode 8x11 "Beyond Repair".
Allusions:
Corday's mother and Greene's father sing "I remember it well" from the movie "Gigi" (1958). In the movie it was performed by Maurice Chevalier and Hermione Gingold. |
