Chicago Med (2015-) is an American medical drama television series.

Speak Your Truth [3.01][edit]

Dr. Sarah Reese: Were you aware that Dr. Charles was testifying in Kellogg's defense?
Sharon Goodwin: I found out today. Dr. Charles wants him remanded to a psychiatric facility.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Which means he won't go to jail. That's absurd. The man came here and tried to kill a medical health professional because he wanted attention.
Sharon Goodwin: Well, I'm as upset as you are. I'm the one who found him bleeding on the sidewalk.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Jack Kellogg is a devious sociopath. He'll con his way out of mental institution and be back on the streets. We have a responsibility, a public responsibility, to make sure that doesn't happen.
Sharon Goodwin: Unfortunately, Dr. Reese, there's nothing you or I can do. It's up to the jury.

Marshall Matthews: Dr. Charles, prosecution's calling a rebuttal witness. What do I need to know about Sarah Reese?
Dr. Daniel Charles: What?
Marshall Matthews: [they see Sarah walk past with Peter Stone] Tell me your own resident isn't here to poke holes in your testimony.

Dr. Daniel Charles: Oh, there you are, Dr. Reese. Uh, you'll be happy to know that Mr. Kellogg was found guilty.
Dr. Sarah Reese: I'm not happy, but I am satisfied with that verdict. He'll still receive treatment in jail.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Through the Department of Corrections? You have any idea what their success rate is? In that environment? His chances of rehabilitation are practically nil. Not that it really matters, because more than likely his temper will get him killed within a week.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Those outbursts are an act calculated to convince you he's crazy.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Is that what he was doing? Dr. Reese, I've been evaluating psychiatric patients for more than thirty years. Is it conceivable to you that I might have more insight into his behavior than you do?

Dr. Isidore Latham: Dr. Rhodes. I've been thinking about your pulmonary thrombectomy. I can't help but wonder if Dr. Bekker didn't... what's the word? Manipulate me for her own gain.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: I-I wouldn't worry about it, Dr. Latham.
Dr. Isidore Latham: I know that fellows compete for the most challenging cases to improve their résumés. Perhaps in the end, you fared better than Dr. Bekker.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Is that why you gave me the transplant?
Dr. Isidore Latham: I'm not sure. Sometimes my motivations are a mystery to me, to be honest.

Nothing to Fear [3.02][edit]

Sharon Goodwin: You want to feed a patient against her will.
Dr. Will Halstead: A pregnant mother who's killing her baby.
Dr. Natalie Manning: We believe she has something called orthorexia, an obsession with healthy living that has limited her diet so severly that it's become dangerous.
Dr. Will Halstead: And has led to a pathologic distrust of the entire medical system. She won't let us do anything.
Sharon Goodwin: Well, is she delusional? Can she make decisions on her own?
Dr. Natalie Manning: No, she is very clear about what she wants and what she does not want.
Sharon Goodwin: Well, then we can't prove incompetence, and we can't force her to do anything to her body she doesn't want. The law sides with her.
Dr. Will Halstead: But there are two patients here.
Dr. Natalie Manning: Yeah, one of whom has no control over what's being done to it.
Dr. Will Halstead: This is child abuse.
Sharon Goodwin: Well, I can convene an emergency ethics committee. It's possible they may find grounds to override her decision.
Dr. Natalie Manning: And in the meantime?
Sharon Goodwin: See if you can find a way to help her trust us.

Dr. Sarah Reese: You paged about a consult?
Dr. Daniel Charles: Yeah. Yeah. Um... 50-something guy, post-op after getting shot by a patient.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Is this a joke?
Dr. Daniel Charles: No. I'm serious. Give me your clinical evaluation of my recovery.
Dr. Sarah Reese: No residual anger or fear.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Mm-hmm.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Normal intellectual and emotional functioning. You seem like you have moved on.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Yeah. And you should, too.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Excuse me?
Dr. Daniel Charles: I'm just wondering if today was less about your patient and more about lingering fears for our safety. It is certainly true that a very few patients can be dangerous. But the overwhelming majority are... harmless, and in fact very grateful for our help. Only they can't get that help if you come to work scared.
Dr. Sarah Reese: I'm not scared.
Dr. Daniel Charles: This is not an accusation, Doctor. I just want you to know that every psychiatrist goes through this at some point or another. And then it passes. And it'll pass for you, too.

Dr. Daniel Charles: How'd that metal detector thing turn out?
Sharon Goodwin: I changed my mind.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Really?
Sharon Goodwin: Yeah. I saw a woman today who almost killed her baby because she didn't trust us. And I thought "How can we encourage people to trust us more if we don't show them trust first?".
Dr. Daniel Charles: Couldn't agree more.

Dr. Isidore Latham: Why is Mr. Willis insisting on surgery? Despite my explicit recommendations to the contrary?
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Dr. Latham, I...
Dr. Isidore Latham: Did you go behind my back?
Dr. Connor Rhodes: No. He asked if he had options. So I told him. I, in no way, suggested...
Dr. Isidore Latham: [muttering in frustration] You've shown extremely poor decision-making today. From this point on, you are not to set foot in the O.R. until I deem you ready to return. Do you understand?
Dr. Connor Rhodes: You're benching me?
Dr. Isidore Latham: For the foreseeable future. Yes.

Dr. Natalie Manning: Fearing for your baby's safety is the most natural thing in the world. When I was pregnant, I lost my husband. I was afraid of a lot of things. And then one day, after I had my son, I was up in a high-rise building on the balcony and suddenly had this vivid image of myself falling over the railing. And my first thought was what would happen to my son if I wasn't here for him? And the craziest part is my favorite thing in the world had always been Ferris wheels and roller coasters and being up in the air. But from that day on, I had this totally irrational fear of heights. It is really scary being solely responsible for that tiny, defenseless person inside of you. But you are letting your fear win. And it's gonna end badly.

Trust Your Gut [3.03][edit]

Peter Kalmick: Just a head's up: the board is gonna push you for more growth. The bottom line has them concerned.
Sharon Goodwin: When hasn't it? Can set my watch over their money worries. I'll be fine.
Peter Kalmick: It's different this time. C-Suite feels we can better recognize how medicine and business are one and the same.
Sharon Goodwin: Ah, let me guess. Um, scale back on outreach, combine responsibilities, outsource. So, basically, sacrifice patient care? I won't do that, Peter.
Peter Kalmick: Well, Sharon, you have to do something, because the ED is hemorrhaging cash, and if the bleeding doesn't stop, it is not gonna be good for anybody.

Dr. Daniel Charles: So, what are you thinking?
Dr. Sarah Reese: Schizophrenia.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Yeah, that was my initial thought, but now I'm not so sure.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Seriously? His, uh, paranoia that there's something living inside him, and his attempt to remove it, is literally a textbook definition of a somatic delusional disorder.
Dr. Daniel Charles: I'm stuck on the level of premeditation. You know, sterilization with Betadine, the clean incision, doing it near a hospital... all that kind of forethought, it's just not consistent with schizophrenic psychosis.
Dr. Sarah Reese: So he's a germaphobe with a steady hand. It doesn't mean he's not schizophrenic.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Mm, could be true, too.
Dr. Sarah Reese: So, um... start him on anti-psychotics and reassess when his mind's clear?
Dr. Daniel Charles: I'm just not there yet. My gut tells me it's chemical. You know, like maybe a methamphetamine overdose. Before we go any further, let's run a tox screen, see if he's just... high.

Dr. Ethan Choi: Hey, Nat, I was speaking with Eric; the drugs, he's self-medicating. Since he was a kid, he's gotten sick after eating protein. Myra was a vegan; avoided protein.
Dr. Natalie Manning: You're thinking that's what made her sick, too?
Dr. Ethan Choi: Last month, when Myra was feeling confused, she was fasting while studying.
Dr. Natalie Manning: Ketosis. Her body was starving, so it started digesting muscle as fuel, which released protein into her blood. Okay, well, that explains what made her sick last month, but what about today?
Dr. Ethan Choi: The fellowship.
Dr. Natalie Manning: She probably wasn't eating again.
Dr. Ethan Choi: I think this is OTC. A metabolic disorder fits.
Dr. Natalie Manning: You were right. The visits were connected.

Don Adams: A metabolic... disorder caused her death?
Dr. Natalie Manning: The precise term is "ornthine transcarbamylase deficiency", or OTC. You see, Myra's liver was missing a vital enzyme that helps break down protein.
Dr. Ethan Choi: Something as simple as eating a burger could cause toxic levels of ammonia to build up in her blood and attack her nervous system.
Carol Adams: But Myra was a vegan.
Dr. Natalie Manning: Which is how she was able to avoid symptoms for so long, but when she pushed herself and didn't eat - finals, the fellowship - her body started breaking down muscle, which released protein into her blood.
Carol Adams: So, you mean she'd be alive right now if she'd just... eaten?
Don Adams: If this disease is genetic, that means one of us gave it to her.
Dr. Natalie Manning: Yes. Um, it is passed through the X chromosome, from mother to child, but...
Dr. Ethan Choi: OTC sufferers exhibit totally normal liver function. That's why all of Myra's tests came back clean.
Dr. Natalie Manning: Yeah. We were only able to diagnose her once Eric explained his lethargy and sickness after eating. We believe he has the defect, as well, and has been self-medicating with drugs.

Dr. Ethan Choi: What happened back there... sometimes when people are grieving, they last out.
Eric Adams: Yeah, no, that's... that's how my folks always are. Man, they-they-they think I'm, uh... I'm worthless. I don't know. May-maybe I am, but they think I want to be like this, and-and I really don't. Uh, you know, My-Myra, she was the only one who ever, like... like, really... like, like, saw me. You know?
Dr. Ethan Choi: Yeah.
Eric Adams: And now it's...
Dr. Ethan Choi: What do you want, Eric?
Eric Adams: I want to get clean. You know, I wanna, like, wake up and just feel clear.
Dr. Ethan Choi: Okay. We'll set you up with a social worker, get you in a program.
Eric Adams: Was... seriously?
Dr. Ethan Choi: Yeah. You'll get the support you need, but it's up to you to come through.
Eric Adams: Why are you doing this for me?
Dr. Ethan Choi: I guess I'm seeing that there's a difference between a crutch and a helping hand.

Naughty or Nice [3.04][edit]

Dr. Natalie Manning: But you have to tell me.
Dr. Will Halstead: And violate the sacred oath?
Dr. Natalie Manning: [laughing] It's not like you're guarding the Holy Grail. It's a holiday gift exchange.
Dr. Will Halstead: That we call "Secret Santa", because we're supposed to keep it a secret.
Dr. Natalie Manning: Okay, so who is it? Is it April?
Dr. Will Halstead: I'm not gonna tell you.
Dr. Natalie Manning: Fine. Don't tell me. But it's only a matter of time before you crack.
Dr. Will Halstead: Not a chance.

Dr. Sarah Reese: I heard about Jack Kellogg. I am so sorry. It's exactly what you said would happen.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Uh, he was a very troubled man who brought things on himself.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Yes, but if he had been remanded to a psychiatric facility, like you wanted, uh... I-I-I just feel so awful.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Listen, Dr. Reese, if you're thinking that in some way this might've been your fault, it just wasn't. He was a very self-destructive guy, and there's just no guarantee the outcome would've been any different no matter where he ended up.

Dr. Natalie Manning: How's Shannon's husband?
Dr. Will Halstead: Bruce Kim? Turns out he wasn't in Buffalo. He was in Aruba with another woman. Tested inconclusive for Zika.
Dr. Natalie Manning: What? Well, we have to tell Shannon.
Dr. Will Halstead: We can't. Not without violating his confidentiality. He refuses to tell her.
Dr. Natalie Manning: That's ridiculous. I mean, if he was HIV positive, we could break confidentiality. Doesn't Zika get the same exemption?
Dr. Will Halstead: No. Unfortunately, Zika's so new, there's no legal precedent.
Dr. Natalie Manning: But what if they have sex? What if he infects the fetus? I mean, you've seen babies with microcephaly.
Dr. Will Halstead: Natalie, I have spent the last hour trying to find a way around HIPPA. I've got nothing. He'll come after the hospital, and my license, incidentally.
Dr. Natalie Manning: So you're just giving up?
Dr. Will Halstead: There's nothing we can do. We can't justify breaking the law over an inconclusive test result.
[she sighs, and he sees the gears in her head turning]
Dr. Will Halstead: I know what you're thinking. Don't do anything.

Dr. Natalie Manning: What did you do?
Dr. Will Halstead: I made some calls. Since Zika's a public health emergency, the CDC has to investigate all inconclusive test results.
Dr. Natalie Manning: I'm impressed.
Dr. Will Halstead: Natalie, back there, were you gonna...?
Dr. Natalie Manning: Let's just say it is a good thing you showed up when you did.

Dr. Daniel Charles: So, uh... yeah, things got a little... out of hand today, and, um... you know, if the offer's still good, I was thinking that... maybe I could use a few days off.
Sharon Goodwin: The offer's still good.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Okay. Thank you.
Sharon Goodwin: You're welcome.
[he turns to leave]
Sharon Goodwin: Don't stay away too long. We need you here.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Tough day?
Sharon Goodwin: We billed $16,000 to a family of a man who died in the waiting room. I managed to quash it, but... the system's broken, Daniel.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Well... don't know anybody better with a glue gun than you.

Mountains and Molehills [3.05][edit]

Dr. Stanley Stohl: Wait a minute, she won't consent to being tested because she'd rather die than have her family find out she has AIDS, and you're saying she's capable of making rational decisions.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Just because you don't like the decision she's making doesn't mean she's incapable of making it.

Dr. Ethan Choi: We know she has AIDS. She knows she has AIDS. Her aunt must know on some level, this isn't the flu.
April Sexton: Yeah, but there's a difference between knowing something and saying it out loud. You say it out loud, and it's real.

Sharon Goodwin: You know, Dr. Choi, there's a pretty important statute, known as the HIPPA privacy rule, that protects every patient's personal health information from being shared with anybody else.
Dr. Ethan Choi: You heard her, Ms. Goodwin. She wants us to help her niece.
Sharon Goodwin: Still, it's not for you to tell her. That's the rule.
Dr. Ethan Choi: [turning to leave, he stops at the door] With all due respect, if all we were gonna do is follow the rules, we should've done what Stohl wanted and turfed her back to East Mercy.

Dr. Daniel Charles: You know, I've been wondering about something you said earlier today about... about not feeling safe in the ED.
Dr. Sarah Reese: It was just an innocuous comment. Heat of the moment.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Reese, you and me, we're both- we're both psychiatrists, right? I mean, "innocuous comment", really?
Dr. Sarah Reese: Dr. Charles, I know today was not my finest hour, but... what with my car getting broken into and Noah getting punched.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Sarah, I get it. You know, this can be a very chaotic, often downright scary work environment. And you know what? It's not necessarily for everybody. I... I chose emergency psychiatry 'cause it was the right thing for me at the time.
Dr. Sarah Reese: I'm sorry, are you reassigning me?
Dr. Daniel Charles: Of course not. I'm just saying there are other options.
Dr. Sarah Reese: No. Not for me. I want to be in the ED.

Abena Kwemo: These are your patients?
Sharon Goodwin: They were my patients, yes. They died in the '80s. I was their nurse. It was a terrifying time. Some days, we lost two, three patients. See, we barely understood what AIDS was back then, let alone how to treat it.
Abena Kwemo: I don't want to see these anymore.
Sharon Goodwin: I know. It's hard, isn't it? I could only imagine who they might've been, what they might've done with their lives, if they had a chance. They had such promise.
Abena Kwemo: These patients, how many of them died alone without their families?
Sharon Goodwin: Far, far too many.
Abena Kwemo: I don't want to live without my family.
Sharon Goodwin: And I'm sure they don't want to live without you. I can see it in your aunt's eyes. I know that look. She's terrified of losing you. You're so young, Abena. Don't rob yourself of a future that these young people could only dream about. I lost a lot of patients. I don't want to add you to this folder.

Ties That Bind [3.06][edit]

Dr. Connor Rhodes: Listen, my dad is a son of a bitch. He likes to destroy things.
Dr. Robin Charles: And you... you like to fix things. People with blocked arteries or leaky valves. Unhinged girlfriends who like to shoplift.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Meaning?
Dr. Robin Charles: Wanting to save someone, needing to save someone, it's not the same as loving them.

Dr. Connor Rhodes: You should eat. You'll feel better.
Dr. Robin Charles: You take good care of me. I guess you do that for all your patients.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey. You are not my patient. I love you.
Dr. Robin Charles: Do you? Because I wouldn't love me. I'd get rid of me.

Maggie Lockwood: I'm a charge nurse, and I'm hanging IV bags.
Sharon Goodwin: I know, Maggie. You're short-staffed.
Maggie Lockwood: For a month. When are we gonna hire more nurses?
Sharon Goodwin: We can't afford it. It's not in the budget.
Maggie Lockwood: Sharon, we are required to have one nurse for two beds. That's twelve nurses per shift. Four shifts, that's 48 nurses. Right now, I only have 42.
Sharon Goodwin: Well, even it out with overtime.
Maggie Lockwood: Time and a half? How is that supposed to save us money?
Sharon Goodwin: It doesn't, but overtime comes out of a different account. We still look good. Work with me.

April Sexton: Nancy Buckley's results?
Dr. Natalie Manning: Yeah, it's not a hernia. It's what I thought, her CT shows appendicitis.
April Sexton: But her charts said her appendix was removed when she was a teenager.
Dr. Natalie Manning: That's not the only thing that's off. [showing her an image on her tablet] Tubal ligation clips. She had her tubes tied. Why wouldn't she put that in her history?
April Sexton: Maybe she didn't want her mom to know. Might be a touchy subject for them.
Dr. Natalie Manning: You know what, Nancy said she always wanted to have kids. This doesn't feel right.
April Sexton: Well, either way, she's going to need surgery.
Dr. Natalie Manning: Yeah, on an organ she thinks she doesn't have.

Dr. Ethan Choi: Mr. Janichek's scans were negative for concussion or any other acute injury.
Peter Kalmick: All right, dodged that bullet.
Dr. Ethan Choi: [handing Sharon a tablet] But we did notice something else unrelated to his being sprayed.
Sharon Goodwin: An enlarged spleen?
Dr. Ethan Choi: Yes.
Peter Kalmick: This our fault?
Dr. Ethan Choi: No. I ordered an enzyme activity level test to follow up. It showed Mr. Janichek is suffering from a genetic disorder called Gaucher's disease. An enzyme deficiency which presents with a vague constellation of symptoms; malaise, anemia, low platelets.
Peter Kalmick: Please tell me there's a treatment. Because we cannot assault a man and then inform him he has an incurable disease.
Dr. Ethan Choi: His spleen is dangerously enlarged, so it has to be removed, but the deficiency itself is easily treatable with regular enzyme replacement infusions.
Sharon Goodwin: All right. You'll inform the patient.
Dr. Ethan Choi: Yes, ma'am.
Sharon Goodwin: Thank you.
Dr. Ethan Choi: I should say that Mr. Janichek will find this to be good news.
Peter Kalmick: A genetic disease?
Dr. Ethan Choi: He's been suffering a long time, unable to find a diagnosis. In fact, I was ready to send him home. We never would have ordered that pan scan if Dr. Reese hadn't done what she did. She might have saved his life.

Over Troubled Water [3.07][edit]

Dr. Daniel Charles: How'd it go with Dr. Chapman?
Dr. Sarah Reese: Uh, it was fine. She's fine.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Good. Is there an issue?
Dr. Sarah Reese: I prefer to come back to your service.
Dr. Daniel Charles: I understand. Really, I do, but I-I think it's very important that you explore a different clinical approach.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Yeah, well, Dr. Charles, I'm not an idiot. Um, I know you think my anxiety, my PTSD, if you will, stems directly from your being shot, that our working together is negatively affecting my mental health. But... first of all, um, these are my issues, and I'm working on them, and second of all, you chose to bring me into psychiatry. So I'm not about to let you pawn me off onto that Dr. Chapman when you're the psychiatrist I want to be. Um... I mean, I-I almost lost you once. I-I don't want to lose you again.

Dr. Daniel Charles: Ah, the old Chapman flow charts. Oh, yeah. Number seven. That there's a doozy. Step seven? Dr. Reese, the truth is I feel responsible for letting your situation get out of hand the way it did. It was my job to, well, guide you and teach you and make you a better doctor, and I... I let you down.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Dr. Charles...
Dr. Daniel Charles: But ultimately, some relationships are just better... kept intact, which is why, if you'd still like to, when you return, I-I would very much welcome you back on my service.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Really?
Dr. Daniel Charles: Really.

Dr. Ethan Choi: You're wasting your time.
Dr. Daniel Charles: You do understand that we have an obligation to try to get addicts into a program before they leave the hospital?
Dr. Ethan Choi: Yeah, but clearly, she doesn't want our help.
Dr. Daniel Charles: We don't know that. We almost never get through on the first shot.
Dr. Ethan Choi: She won't even talk to you, Dr. Charles.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Ethan, somebody puts up a wall like that... they're usually trying to protect something. That's often worth chipping away at.

Dr. Connor Rhodes: Can you cover for me tomorrow?
Dr. Ava Bekker: Sure. Are you getting sick?
Dr. Connor Rhodes: No, I'm headed to Minneapolis.
Dr. Ava Bekker: That sounds even worse. Why are going there? [realizing] Oh, is that where Robin moved to?
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Yeah, it is.
Dr. Ava Bekker: So this is, what, a misguided attempt to win her back?
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Forget I asked.
Dr. Ava Bekker: No, I'm happy to do it. Mostly because I find your gift for self-flagellation fascinating.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: What is that supposed to mean?
Dr. Ava Bekker: Just that, from what I've gathered, this sounds like a fool's errand.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: [sarcastic] CT's own Dr. Phil? Thank you.
Dr. Ava Bekker: Doctor who?

Natalie Manning: [treating a baby] What's going on?
April Sexton: He's inconsolable. I've tried rocking him, swaddling him, singing. Nothing I do calms him down. Heart rate's in the 190s. O2 stats have been dropping.
'Natalie Manning: Has he been feeding?
April Sexton: No, nothing. Is it possible he's still in shock from the cold?
Natalie Manning: I don't think so.
April Sexton: I'll go see if his labs are back.
Natalie Manning: That won't be necessary. He's addicted to heroin. He's going through withdrawal.

Lemons and Lemonade [3.08][edit]

Dr. Sarah Reese: [about a 65 pound woman] Is she the worst case you've ever seen?
Dr. Daniel Charles: A healthy BMI is between 18 and 25, her's is 11. If she's going to survive, we can't afford to make any mistakes.
Dr. Sarah Reese: She's killing herself.

Maggie Lockwood: What, you keeping a secret?
Dr. Will Halstead: Hey.
Maggie Lockwood: [taking his book] "Your Toddler and You". Is this business or pleasure?
Dr. Will Halstead: Both. I'm looking for ideas on how to get Owen to like me.
Maggie Lockwood: What makes you think he doesn't.
Dr. Will Halstead: [indicating his black eye] Oh, I don't know.
Maggie Lockwood: [she laughs] You worry too much.
Dr. Will Halstead: Hey, Owen's number one in Natalie's life. If I can't make it work with him, I got no shot with her.
Maggie Lockwood: Well, let me break down toddlers for you. They eat, sleep, poop, and play. Help 'em out with any one of those things, and you're gold.

Dr. Ethan Choi: 3,000 calories?
Dr. Daniel Charles: It's all she's willing to accept.
Dr. Ethan Choi: Why are you negotiating? Dangerously low albumin, renal insufficiency. 5'6" and less than 70 pounds. Dr. Charles, I carried her in, she was nothing. She needs high-calorie, long-term nutrition.
Dr. Daniel Charles: I agree.
Dr. Ethan Choi: Then what are you doing?
Dr. Daniel Charles: Anorexia is actually the most deadly mental illness that there is. Every instinct she has is telling her to resist this, and I don't want to push her any harder than she'll let us.
Dr. Ethan Choi: Then let me push her.
Dr. Daniel Charles: No. I made a deal, we have to honor it. Trust me, it's her best shot.

Sharon Goodwin: Asterid's transfer to County... I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when I learned it was suddenly unnecessary.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Yeah, it, uh... it turns out that the hospital's charitable fund has enough money to cover her costs.
Sharon Goodwin: It does now. It seems a six-figure donation was made a few hours ago anonymously.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: That's good timing, I guess.
Sharon Goodwin: Mm.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Good night.
Sharon Goodwin: Dr. Rhodes, be careful. Patients are going to keep coming. And as wealthy as you may be, your checkbook won't be able to keep up.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: But it did today.

Dr. Sarah Reese: I did my two-week suspension. I am in therapy. I am not supposed to be afraid anymore. I am a psychiatrist. Rule number one is to connect with your patients, and I could not even look her in the eye.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Look, the good news is that you recognize the problem. Right? Sarah, nobody learns how to master their fears in two weeks, trust me. It just doesn't happen. Not even somebody as determined as you are.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Okay. You know, when, um... when Allison died today, I saw myself, because she could not change. But I have to. I have to. I just don't know how. You have to help me. Dr. Charles.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Of course. Of course. Of course I will.

On Shaky Ground [3.09][edit]

Dr. Natalie Manning: [to parents, after their preemie baby dies] I don't know what to say.
Joanna Harris: We got to hold our child, and hope that he was able to feel our love.
Dr. Natalie Manning: I'm sure that he did.
Joanna Harris: [hugs Natalie] Thank you.

Dr. Daniel Charles: [at a prison] Dr. Reese, this is Officer Kowalski. He will be our escort for the day.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Hi.
Officer Kowalski: First time?
Dr. Sarah Reese: Mm-hmm.
Officer Kowalski: You'll be fine. Just don't feed the animals. Uh, sign the visitor waiver, please.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Waiver?
Dr. Daniel Charles: Basically says that if we, um, get taken hostage, that the state won't negotiate our release. Just standard procedure.

Dr. Sam Abrams: Eh, she's got a mass in her sinus, possibly a tumor. We need a biopsy.
Dr. Ethan Choi: Yeah, but look at the cross-sections.
Dr. Sam Abrams: [seeing the scan] I don't understand.
Dr. Ethan Choi: Neither do we.
Dr. Sam Abrams: It's moving.

Dr. Daniel Charles: You shouldn't feel bad.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Why not? I am the one who asked for this. It was stupid.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Not stupid. Ambitious.
Dr. Sarah Reese: I have no business trying to treat a patient like that. I can't help him or myself.
Dr. Daniel Charles: You know, the irony is that guy is so much more scared of you than you are of him.
Dr. Sarah Reese: I doubt that.
Dr. Daniel Charles: What, are you kidding me? Guy like Hector, not gonna let you in. A shrink? He's utterly terrified of what you might find; you know, what he might have to face, you know, so he does the jailhouse thing.
Dr. Sarah Reese: What do you mean?
Dr. Daniel Charles: Convicts survive by demonstrating dominance, by going straight to attack mode. It's how they do it.
Dr. Sarah Reese: So he manipulated me.
Dr. Daniel Charles: These guys are experts at-at spotting vulnerability. You know? And Mr. Ramirez exploited yours.
Dr. Sarah Reese: And so he got the response he was hoping for. [thinking for a moment] I want to go back in.

Down by Law [3.10][edit]

ASA Ramirez: I'm ASA Ramirez, state's attorney investigating today's shootout. I'd appreciate if you could retrieve the bullet so that we can run ballistics.
Connor Rhodes: My priority is to save this man's life. You'll get your bullet if it's medically advisable.

Dr. Ava Bekker: It must be hard remembering all their names. Now, I read that Derek Jeter used to send his conquests home with a gift basket, but a full cardio workup is-is much classier.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Jeter, huh? You-you're... you're a baseball fan?
Dr. Ava Bekker: No. It's too boring. But I love gossip.

Margo DiMilio: [learning she needs surgery] What do they say? "You reap what you sow"? This must be karmic retribution for cheating on my husband.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Your coronary disease didn't just develop overnight. It's been building up for a long time.
Margo DiMilio: I've been cheating on my husband for a long time.

Dr. Ethan Choi: How are you holding up?
Maggie Lockwood: Trying to keep it together for him. To be honest, Ethan... I'm scared.
Dr. Ethan Choi: Even if the worst happens, Barry's not criminally responsible. The shooting was instigated by someone else.
April Sexton: It was... it was self-defense.
Maggie Lockwood: I know, but... how is Barry supposed to carry that burden?

Dr. Sarah Reese: Dr. Charles, I know I didn't take your approach today...
Dr. Daniel Charles: You didn't take my approach? You directly defied my orders, and put yourself and your patient in real danger.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Ben isn't dangerous. I think I just proved that.
Dr. Daniel Charles: The only thing you proved to me is that you're reckless and insubordinate, and I have half a mind to suspend you again.
Dr. Sarah Reese: The last few months, you've been preaching to me that I can either see my patients as a threat or as an opportunity. Was I afraid in there? Yes. But my fear no longer controls me. I control it, and now Ben controls his, too.
Dr. Daniel Charles: You are missing the point! I appreciate that exposure therapy has given you a newfound sense of confidence, but it does not make you all-knowing and invincible. What you just did in there was unbelievably stupid.

Folie à Deux [3.11][edit]

Dr. Will Halstead: Hey, Doc, I got a patient in 4, Brittany Coleman, stabbed her neighbor. Cops have her under guard. Seems pretty nutty. Wanna take a look?
Dr. Daniel Charles: "Pretty nutty". Is that a... is that a clinical term?
Dr. Will Halstead: She's had fentanyl, but no sedation.
Dr. Daniel Charles: I'll be right there.

Dr. Natalie Manning: So, your wife tells me that Ben hasn't had any of his childhood vaccinations.
Aaron: Oh, god, here we go. Really? You had to tell her? You know how these people think, honey.
Wendy: Yeah, I had to tell her.
Aaron: If you notice, Doctor, our son is doing just fine.
Dr. Natalie Manning: Yeah, maybe he's just fine, but your niece is in there with whooping cough, most likely because of him, because of you.
Aaron: You don't know that.
Dr. Natalie Manning: That baby is suffering horribly. She could die.
Wendy: Aaron!
Aaron: Look, I'm sorry, but I have to do what I think is right. I have to protect my son.
Dr. Natalie Manning: Oh, you think you're protecting him? Do you have any idea how dangerous an ED is for a child without immunity? Do not assume that there aren't more idiots like you out there.
Aaron: Excuse me?
Dr. Natalie Manning: And who knows what these kids might have. Measles, mumps, polio. Get your son out of here. [he doesn't move] I'm serious. Get your son out of here now.

Dr. Noah Sexton: How could I have missed that? I did a chest x-ray and an EKG...
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Neither of which showed the aortic dissection. Look, every indication was that the guy was having a heart attack.
Dr. Noah Sexton: What if I had just done a-a bedside echo?
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Why? Look, you thought your priority was to get him to the cath lab.
Dr. Noah Sexton: But that was wrong.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Look... we're all taught to see things a certain way, and most of the time, that works, just... not all the time. It is a very, very hard thing to see past our assumptions. Believe me, I'm still learning.

Dr. Daniel Charles: I think we're dealing with a case of folie à deux.
Dr. Will Halstead: Which is...
Dr. Daniel Charles: A shared delusion.
Jay Halstead: [approaching] Heads up, guys, I got an arrest warrant for Brittany Coleman, attempted murder. Gonna transfer her to the psych ward at Cook County.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Before you do that, there's somebody I'd like you to meet. Two minutes.

Dr. Will Halstead: That guy who didn't immunize his kid, did I hear you call him an idiot? That was a very Will Halstead moment.
Dr. Natalie Manning: I just... I can't stand it. No matter how much science we give people, no matter how much proof, they just go on believing what they wanna believe. I mean, the guy who started this whole anti-vac thing has been completely discredited. So what is wrong with people? Why do they keep clinging to this myth?
Dr. Will Halstead: Mass hysteria.
Dr. Natalie Manning: Yeah, and that baby pays the price.

Born This Way [3.12][edit]

Dr. Connor Rhodes: [about a juvenile transplant patient] We have to put him on ECMO.
Dr. Ava Bekker: What?
Dr. Connor Rhodes: He's satting in the 80s and wearing down. His respiratory muscles are going to give out.
Dr. Ava Bekker: But ECMO could introduce an infection. It's a partial contraindication of surgery.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: And Kansas is a two-hour flight. We have to keep him oxygenated 'till the lungs get here.
Dr. Ava Bekker: Those lungs only last four hours. If anything goes wrong before they get here, and he's stuck on ECMO, we may not be able to get him off. He could die.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Then we make sure that nothing goes wrong.

Dr. Daniel Charles: Dr. Reese, how was your dinner with your dad?
Dr. Sarah Reese: It was good. Uh, I mean, I'm glad we're talking again. He's funny, smart.
Dr. Daniel Charles: You don't sound entirely convinced.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Well, it's just kinda hard to look past the last twenty years. I know he wrote me those letters, but... there were other ways to contact me if he wanted. Makes me wonder.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Well, you know what, I've always been immensely impressed with your instincts, so... no reason to stop listening to them now.

Dr. Will Halstead: We found a large growth in your larynx. It's almost certainly cancer.
Vic Thomas: All right.
Dr. Will Halstead: Now, the good news is we have an excellent oncology department, so I'd like to arrange for a biopsy and a consultation, so that they can determine...
Vic Thomas: It's okay. I'm not interested.
Dr. Will Halstead: Mr. Thomas, the sooner you begin treatment, the better your chances of survival.
Vic Thomas: You don't understand. I'm... I'm ready to die.
Dr. Will Halstead: I know it's a lot of information, and it can seem overwhelming, but I...
Vic Thomas: I said no.
Dr. Will Halstead: Can you tell me why you're so resistant to treatment?
Vic Thomas: Because I've made it 56 years without molesting a child, and I can't stand it anymore.
Dr. Will Halstead: I'm sorry?
Vic Thomas: I'm a pedophile. And I wanna die.

Dr. Ava Bekker: A transfusion is going to increase his antibody county. His PRA's already at 50. If it hits 80, we can't use those lungs.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: You think I don't know that? We don't have a choice.
Dr. Ava Bekker: We wouldn't be in this situation if you hadn't insisted on ECMO in the first place.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: You keep pointing out problems. What I need are solutions, so if you don't have any, just... just get out of my way, okay?

Dr. Sarah Reese: Dr. Halstead has a point. Is this man, this pedophile, really being rational?
Dr. Daniel Charles: Funny enough, it sounds to me like he is.
Dr. Sarah Reese: So we just have to, uh, stand by and watch him kill himself?
Dr. Daniel Charles: Not treating your cancer is not the same thing as committing suicide. I mean, it's his decision. He's allowed to make it. More to the point, I think what he may be trying to do is looking for a way to... escape his urges.
Dr. Sarah Reese: By dying.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Dr. Reese, have you ever seen a pedophile's PET scan?
[she shakes her head 'no']
Dr. Daniel Charles: The prefrontal cortex and the putamen, they... they light up. There's a very good chance that pedophilia could be genetically hardwired into the brain.
Dr. Sarah Reese: There-there-there's nothing he can do about it?
Dr. Daniel Charles: Well, yes and no. I mean, the thinking is you can't change the hardware, but the software is another question, and it sounds to me like... like that's what Mr. Thomas has been trying to do. If you look at it from his perspective, the whole thing seems quite rational.

Best Laid Plans [3.13][edit]

Dr. Sarah Reese: Well, she's not catatonic. Whatever knocked her out, it's not psychiatric. What'd her tox screens show?
Dr. Ethan Choi: Yeah, she's clean. Blood alcohol, arterial gases, and all other labs, too.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Diabetic ketoacidosis?
Dr. Ethan Choi: Blood sugar's normal.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Liver failure?
Dr. Ethan Choi: Ammonia level's normal.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Tumor?
Dr. Ethan Choi: Chest x-ray and all the CTs were clean.
Dr. Sarah Reese: The scar on her cheek?
Dr. Ethan Choi: Plate from an old fracture. No apparent connection to her unconsciousness.
Maggie Lockwood: [approaching] Just got off the phone with PD. Ruzek ran Rachel's name through the system. She got busted a few times: DUI and possession.
Dr. Sarah Reese: And yet a clean tox and BAC. Hmm, the plot thickens. Good luck.

Dr. Connor Rhodes: He fainted?
Dr. Will Halstead: Yeah, getting out of the shower. When I pressed for details, he confessed to being light-headed all week.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Labs?
Dr. Will Halstead: [handing him a tablet] Yeah, troponin's way too high. Left ventricular ejection fraction is 10%.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: I've been treating Dan for six months. Steroids, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, beta blockers. No matter what I try, he just keeps getting worse.
Dr. Will Halstead: Where is he on the transplant list?
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Way too low.
Dr. Will Halstead: Don't let him give up.

Dr. Sarah Reese: First you're treating my father, and now you're blackmailing him?
Dr. Daniel Charles: What?
Dr. Sarah Reese: You heard me.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Look, I don't know what he told you...
Dr. Sarah Reese: He said you're jealous of our relationship, that you have some twisted paternal feelings for me, that you threatened him, and said if he didn't stay away from me, you'd sabotage his chances of getting on the list.
Dr. Daniel Charles: I threatened him? Wh... sabotage?
Dr. Sarah Reese: Yes.
Dr. Daniel Charles: I'm a shrink in a sweater vest, not a secret agent.

Sharon Goodwin: [after Reese rows at Daniel] What was that about?
Dr. Daniel Charles: As you will read in my evaluation, her father, Dr. Haywood, has a particularly malignant form of Antisocial personality disorder.
Sharon Goodwin: Are you serious? Is she in danger?
Dr. Daniel Charles: Well, I haven't picked up any violent tendencies yet, but he's an extremely effective manipulator.
Sharon Goodwin: Dr. Reese doesn't know?
Dr. Daniel Charles: Well, I think she might be starting to figure it out on a clinical level, but emotionally, she's... she's not there yet.

Dr. Will Halstead: Natalie, you can't sit on this.
Dr. Natalie Manning: If I report it, Catherine will likely be removed as Sam's guardian. I wanna pull in social services.
Dr. Will Halstead: This goes beyond family counseling. It's a criminal matter. She intentionally stopped trach care to cause her son's death.
Dr. Natalie Manning: To end his suffering. You know, she looked into moving to a state where assisted suicide is legal? But because Sam isn't terminally ill and can't express his wishes, he didn't qualify.
Dr. Will Halstead: Exactly. Which means you can't be certain this is what he wants.
Dr. Natalie Manning: No one knows what Sam wants more than his mother.
Dr. Will Halstead: Then she needs to go to court and make her case, petition a judge to get his feeding tube removed. Look, Natalie, I'm not arguing she's wrong, but what she did is illegal. You have to call the police.
Dr. Natalie Manning: No.
Dr. Will Halstead: Then I will.

Lock It Down [3.14][edit]

Dr. Will Halstead: [after Natalie proposes an experimental treatment] You gave him those drugs?
Dr. Natalie Manning: Mm-hmm.
Dr. Will Halstead: I told you not to, and you did it anyway.
Dr. Natalie Manning: His wife wanted to give 'em a try.
Dr. Will Halstead: You shouldn't have even suggested it.
Dr. Natalie Manning: She deserved a choice.
Dr. Will Halstead: You went behind my back. I can't believe you did that.
Dr. Natalie Manning: You wouldn't listen to me.
Dr. Will Halstead: I did listen to you. I just hope you haven't put a nail in this man's coffin.

Maggie Lockwood: I didn't have any choice. All of our ED doctors were tied up because of the lockdown, the patient was in laryngospasm. I couldn't get the tubes past her cord. At that point, I had to trach her. Any doctor would have the same problem.
Sharon Goodwin: Yeah, except, Maggie... they're doctors. They're allowed to perform these procedures.
Maggie Lockwood: Sharon, what would you have done?
Sharon Goodwin: Exactly what you did, but, unfortunately, that's not going to help you.
Maggie Lockwood: Sharon, am I gonna lose my job over this?
Sharon Goodwin: I hope not, but until I can figure something out... I've got to suspend you, Maggie.
Maggie Lockwood: Sharon.
Sharon Goodwin: I'm sorry.
Maggie Lockwood: [turning in her badge] The patient would've died. I have no regrets.

Dr. Sarah Reese: I know what you're gonna say. I should not have lied to Joanna. It was wrong. She's just a desperate, troubled woman, not a psychopath.
Dr. Daniel Charles: I agree.
Dr. Sarah Reese: She's not, but am I? Am I a psychopath?
Dr. Daniel Charles: What?
Dr. Sarah Reese: Look how easily I lied to her, how I coldly manipulated her.
Dr. Daniel Charles: In this context, that's hardly an indication of psychopathy.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Well, how about my life? Would you say that I'm able to form lasting relationships? I mean, I have no real friends, no significant romantic attachments. I think I have emotions, but maybe they aren't real. Maybe they're just imitative.
Dr. Daniel Charles: You just told me that you felt guilty about lying to a patient, which means that you have a conscience, which means that you're not a psychopath.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Whatever you wanna call it, I am my father's daughter.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Well... well, you're also my resident, and I find you to be a... a deeply compassionate person, who's capable of great empathy. I just never would've roped you into this whole psychiatry thing if I wasn't entirely convinced of that.

Devil in Disguise [3.15][edit]

April Sexton: [asking Daniel and Sarah for a psych consult] Did I just hear them say they're going to talk to a demon?
Dr. Ethan Choi: Speaking of which, I wonder what my sister's doing. Think she's burned down my apartment yet?
April Sexton: I actually called her to check in.
Dr. Ethan Choi: And?
April Sexton: She wanted to know where the laundry detergent is, even asked if we had anything we wanted her to throw in the load.
Dr. Ethan Choi: Really? Emily?
April Sexton: O, ye of little faith.

An Inconvenient Truth [3.16][edit]

Dr. Natalie Manning: Hey, Dr. Charles, you got a sec? I've got a case I'd like to run by you.
Dr. Daniel Charles: What you got?
Dr. Natalie Manning: My patient, Emma, nine, she presented with abdominal pain on the left side, so I did a quick bedside scan to check her ovaries. It's actually testicular torsion.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Testicular torsion?
Dr. Natalie Manning: Yes. The ultrasound showed an absence of uterus and ovaries, but she has undescended testes.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Huh. Nothing about this in her chart?
Dr. Natalie Manning: No. I doubt the family has any idea.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Okay. Page Pediatric Urology. We need to get a plan together.

Dr. Will Halstead: What's the story?
Jay Halstead: Well, Carter said that Bo was, uh, cooking up BHL. [seeing he doesn't understand] Uh, butane hash oil. You blast marijuana with enough butane, and you get pure THC.
Dr. Ethan Choi: Lengths kids will go to to get high these days.

Dr. Will Halstead: Given the placement and orientation of the handprints on Carter's back, there's no way they're his own.
Sharon Goodwin: Okay? So?
Dr. Will Halstead: So, Carter told my brother Jay that he tried to slap out the flames on Bo. Now, I haven't said anything to Jay.
Sharon Goodwin: So you think Carter may have started the fire and is blaming Bo?
Dr. Will Halstead: Carter tested positive for THC. Bo was clean.

Peter Kalmick: Look, Sharon... CFD and CPD will conduct their own very thorough investigation, and it is in the hospital's best interest, and frankly yours, to not put yourself in the middle.
Sharon Goodwin: But I am in the middle, Peter. Carter's my godson. I've known this boy since he was in diapers. He's not some master manipulator. If he lied, it's because he was scared.
Peter Kalmick: Beside the fact that the Singletons are your friends, they are also major donors to this hospital, and there is a multi-million dollar relationship at stake here. So if the kid is gonna get in trouble, please, let PD be the bad guys.

Dr. Natalie Manning: Any word from the ethics committee?
[Charles glances at Emma's treatment room]
Dr. Natalie Manning: No way. No way they're gonna allow this.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Because, technically, they have both Judy and Emma's consent, and because testicular torsion is a medical emergency, the hospital feels obligated to act.
Dr. Natalie Manning: But the assent was coerced.
Dr. Daniel Charles: Yeah, but coercion's very difficult to prove, and the truth is that in the majority of these cases, the courts do side with the parents. The board's worried about a negligence suit.

The Parent Trap [3.17][edit]

Dr. Stanley Stohl: Dr. Rhodes, he's braindead.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Is he a donor?
Nurse Doris: [checking the patient's license] Yeah.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Okay... let's get an angio to confirm brain death, then get a cardiac echo. I've got a patient who needs a heart.
Dr. Stanley Stohl: You're wasting your time on this one, Dr. Rhodes. I heard significant mitral regurg on auscultation. There's no way that heart is viable.
Dr. Connor Rhodes: Maybe not now, but that doesn't mean I can't fix it. Let's get him up to Radiology now.

Dr. Ethan Choi: [about his homeless patient and his adopted parents] He's never really gonna be able to love them back, is he?
Dr. Daniel Charles: By our definition? Unlikely.
Dr. Ethan Choi: I don't know who to feel more sorry for, the parents or him.

This Is Now [3.18][edit]

Sharon Goodwin: Dr. Stohl, we've got incoming.
Dr. Stanley Stohl: How many?
Sharon Goodwin: 25, at least ten critical.
Dr. Stanley Stohl: That's too many. We're already swamped. They need to be rerouted to East Mercy or Lakeshore Memorial.
Sharon Goodwin: They can't. They're choked up, too. They're trying to send patients to us. So let's get Maggie to double up patients into treatment rooms and trauma bays. Remove the dividing walls to make the space. April, with me. We need to help unload these ambos.
[they enter the ambulance bay and see the number of vehicles, plus more incoming]
April Sexton: Two per room? That's not gonna do it.
Sharon Goodwin: No, not even close.

Dr. Ethan Choi: Ms. Goodwin, we're stabilizing patients, but if we can't get them to surgery, we'll start losing them. Unless something changes, the ED's gonna collapse.
Sharon Goodwin: Well, if you have an idea, now's the time.
Dr. Ethan Choi: Casualty collection areas. Designated zones for specific treatments, especially surgical eval. Doctors stay put, patients shuttle between zones.
Sharon Goodwin: An assembly line. All right, you set it up in Triage, I'll spread the word.

David: I saw the shooter. I should've... run at him, tackled him, done... something, but instead I just stood there, like a coward, while he mowed people down.
Dr. Sarah Reese: Have you heard of fight or flight? Before that is the freeze. It's an instinct that kicks in when there's no time to think. Not running at that shooter might've saved your life, okay?

Jay Halstead: So, the officer saw the guy ditch the assault rifle, then he got a shot off, and then he lost him in the crowd.
Sharon Goodwin: And you think now he's here?
Jay Halstead: Yeah, maybe. He was wearing a hoodie. We recovered it at the scene. Tested positive for gunshot residue, and there was blood on it.
Sharon Goodwin: So the officer might have shot him.
Jay Halstead: Well, that's the theory. We're thinking either the paramedics brought him in or he's hiding among the injured, so we're checking all the hospitals against the officer's partial description.

April Sexton: So much blood. I can still smell the iron in the air. You okay?
Dr. Ethan Choi: Still shaking. Crazy thing is it's the most gratifying day I've ever had as a doctor. I don't know what to feel.

Crisis of Confidence [3.19][edit]

Dr. Natalie Manning: [after Will plays basketball with his brother Jay] Hey. How was the game?
Dr. Will Halstead: I filed a protest with the league commissioner.
Dr. Natalie Manning: So you lost?

Jay Halstead: What's up? You want a rematch?
Dr. Will Halstead: [sarcastic laugh] I was just wondering, are you still holding on to mom's wedding ring?
Jay Halstead: Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't I? [realizing] Oh!
Dr. Will Halstead: Just trying not to be a knucklehead.
Jay Halstead: Okay, uh, well, come on in, and I'll go get it.

The Tipping Point [3.20][edit]

Dr. Will Halstead: What's up, Jay?
Jay Halstead: Gunshot victim. Just waiting to get a statement. What'd Natalie say?
Dr. Will Halstead: I'll tell you tonight.
Jay Halstead: You didn't ask her yet? You've had mom's ring a week.
Dr. Will Halstead: It's gotta be perfect. Do you have any idea what real French champagne costs?
Jay Halstead: More than you can afford.
Dr. Will Halstead: [snickering] Don't I know it.
