Lucas Neff: Caleb Sommers

Quotes 

• Dr. Stephen Frost : Our beloved chief of staff of 30 years, Dr. Herman, died at the tender age of 97. I know you'll all need a moment to absord this. Thank you.

  Caleb : Wow. He looked great for 97. I wouldn't have guessed he was a day over 93.

  Dr. Lexie Gilani : It's surpising how sad I am, given that I... thought he was already dead.

• Dr. Daniel Kutcher : Okay, here's a casual topic. What's the most impressive birthday gift you ever got from a loved one? Go.

  Caleb : Well, if you're talking about birthday presents, nothing'll ever top the very first one I got: the gift of life.

  Dr. Lexie Gilani : What have you given girlfriends in the past?

  Dr. Daniel Kutcher : You know, the usual stuff, like a... an old sweatshirt that smells like me. And then I say "now we'll always be close."

  Dr. Lexie Gilani : Yep, that tracks.

  Dr. Daniel Kutcher : Okay, maybe I'm not the best at gift-giving. But this is different; I want to get Jenny something special.

  Caleb : Well, girls do love it when you adopt a goat in their name.

  Dr. Lexie Gilani : Honestly, I'm surprised a woman's ever touched either of you.

• Dr. Lexie Gilani : What's the deal? I heard you're not presenting anymore. Oh, my god, is it your menopause?

  Dr. Carol Kenney : Dr. Lewis thought... well, we both thought, that, you know, my being selected might look bad. Optically. And optics are important for, you know... appearances.

  Dr. Maya Jacobs : To be honest... I'm disappointed. I recommended you for this because I knew you'd do a good job.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : You recommended me?

  Dr. Maya Jacobs : Despite your... "I need to speak to the manager" energy... you've become an incredible physician.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : I'm sure Daniel will do a great job.

  Dr. Maya Jacobs : Oh, I didn't ask Dr. Kutcher.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : Wait. So if you didn't ask Daniel, and Lexie's here...

  Dr. Maya Jacobs : Yeah.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : Oh, no, you didn't.

  Caleb : [entering in a business suit]  Hi.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : Him?

  Caleb : Me? We talking about me? What are we talking about?

• Dr. Carol Kenney : [declining an incoming call]  Oh, I definitely do not wanna talk to you.

  Caleb : Ooh, it it "unknown number"? Because I love answering those. It's like a friend you haven't met yet.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : No. It's my ex-husband, Richard. He probably senses something good happened to me, and he's excited to ruin it. I'll silence it.

  Dr. Lexie Gilani : [the phone rings again]  And you made it louder.

• Dr. Carol Kenney : So you're doing the presentation, huh?

  Caleb : Uh-huh.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : What's your topic?

  Caleb : Oh, Personalized Medicine and Gene Mapping Using Drosophila Melonogaster.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : That's what I was gonna do.

  Caleb : I know. And it sounded awesome!

• Caleb : Wait, so, your ex is the reason you went to med school?

  Dr. Carol Kenney : No. And that's exactly why I never told any of you.

  Jenny Kenney : Yeah, that's kind of a sore spot. And now she's gonna tell you why she went to med school.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : I went to med school for myself, not for revenge, not to compete with him, not because I have anything to prove.

  Dr. Daniel Kutcher : Oh, like you'd have anything to prove to an anesthesiologist.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : Yeah. You have two responsibilities: put people to sleep, and remember to wake them up.

  Jenny Kenney : Oh. And now you've got her started on anesthesiologists. It's gonna be a while. Bye, guys.

• Dr. Lexie Gilani : Anyone know why they called us all in here?

  Nurse Dennis : Uh, probably hospital stuff.

  Dr. Daniel Kutcher : I bet Carol knows, since she's been spending so much time with her boyfriend and his cool older friends.

  Caleb : I think it's nice Carol has people her own age to talk to. Sometimes I think it's hard for her to relate to us.

  Dr. Lexie Gilani : I don't know. I'm exactly your age, and I can't relate to you at all.

• Dr. Lexie Gilani : Carol stop stalling and give us the juicy deets and the spicy meatballs about you and Lewis.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : That's between us.

  Caleb : How are you feeling, and did you like my presentation?

  Dr. Daniel Kutcher : No one liked your presentation.
