Nurses
Tuesdays 10:00 PM on NBCNurses Season 1 Quotes
Sinead: What you just did for me now, I don't know if I can ever --
Ashley: Don't. It's okay. You don't have to.
Sinead: The thing is, I might need one more favor.
Ashley: Okay.
Sinead: I need someone to walk with me.
Ashley: Where?
Sinead: City General. Rehab. I'm old mates with the charge nurse, she'll fly me in under the radar.
Ashley: That's amazing. That's a brave decision.
Sinead: Don't give me that much credit. I almost blinded that young man.
Ashley: But you didn't.
Sinead: Because of you! There would have been no coming back from that.
Ashley: But you can. Sinead, you can come back from this. This is nothing. This is just a slip.
Sinead: How did you get to be so good at caring?
ashley: I trained under an excellent charge nurse.
Dr. Banks: It's a negative sign. I'm not pregnant.
Keon: You're not pregnant?
Dr. Banks: No. And neither are you.
Keon: Oh my god.
Dr. Banks: Yeah.
Keon: Wow.
Dr. Banks: And all that stuff you were just saying about the place in the burbs and the minivan?
Keon: Crazy.
Dr. Banks: Absolutely.
Keon: Yeah.
Dr. Banks: But also super hot.
Grace: You told me how much you needed this, how depressed you were.
Lily: If I cut off my breasts, I don't know who I am. If I don't, I die.
Grace: Or, maybe there's a third option: become a new you.
Lily: No, this isn't about my business, or Cal, it's about me. I have built my fortune on my body and my image and without it, I don't know who I am.
Grace: Lily.
Lily: No. I have airbrushed my life beyond recognition, and it makes it really hard to feel like who I am and what I have is enough.
Lily: When we met, I told him straight up. I just left my last douche of a boyfriend for another woman, me.
Grace: I'm gonna use that.
Lily: Well, actually, I stole that from Cher. But I did tell him I didn't need a thing from him.
Dr. Niven: Are you afraid that's about to change?
Lily: We're used to being on top of the world, not being crushed by it.
Keon: Just girl trouble.
Naz: I think Dr. Banks is all woman.
Keon: Wait, you know?
Naz: Oh my god! You guys! If a howler monkey crashed through the ER doors on a motorbike blasting Nicki Minaj, he would be more discrete than you.
Keon: How do you come up with this shit?
Naz: I don't know, It's my brain. It just sort of, you know, flows out.
Detective Walker: What is is?
Ashley: Uh, nothing.
Detective Walker: Ashley, I'm a trained interrogator. You just scratched your nose and looked down. Tell me. please.
Naz: Does Keon know?
Dr. Banks: You know about Keon?
Naz: Everybody knows about Keon.
Sometimes you see yourself reflected in a mirror, and sometimes reflected in someone else. It might be someone you miss or someone you feel for. Or it might be someone you never thought you'd be again. And sometimes, it might just be the you you're finally ready to be.
Grace
You can't force yourself into someone's life, even if you know you're good for them, 'cause if they can't give you what you need, you have to let them go.
Keon
Noelle: What if he's right? What if I am a bad nurse?
Grace: But you aren't. You know, I was ... afraid of him too. Right up until he tried to get me to sign the NDA. And that's when I knew that he was afraid of me. And he's afraid of you too, Noelle. That's why he got you to sign. He knows that either of us could take him down with our stories. Now imagine what we could do, together.
Grace: Look, I know what you're gonna say. I was stupid, and I risked nuking my ovaries for nothing.
Sinead: Your ovaries are not my concern; your complete lack of judgment is! Why are you not wearing a lead apron? Stay back! You exposed yourself to radiation!
Grace: My patient collapsed. What was I supposed to do?
Sinead: make sure she doesn't collapse!
Grace: She was dehydrated and her blood sugar was elevated.
Sinead: You should have started an IV before she went into isolation!
Grace: The only person who was at risk here was me!
Sinead: You're damn right. The peer review finds mistakes in your charts, instances of poor judgment. Seeing this, I understand why.
Grace: What does that mean?
Sinead: It means they're opening up an official case with standards and practice. They'll be an investigation. You're suspending pending the review! Now, hit the shower and get out!
Grace: Do you think that we can get it back? The people that we used to be?
Quinn: Yeah. But you gotta push out all the poison that changed you first. And it ain't easy. Takes a lot of guts.
