- Dr. Will Halstead: You ordered a pâté platter and sweetbreads?
- Dr. Nina Shore: Yeah. Pathologists love organ meats.
- Dr. Will Halstead: You recognize that's weird, right?
- Ian Vance: I love my brother. I'd love to give him my kidney.
- Dr. Natalie Manning: Well, what's stopping you?
- Ian Vance: I'm HIV positive.
- Dr. Natalie Manning: [understanding] But giving him a kidney would be giving him HIV, as well.
- Dr. Will Halstead: I'm guessing by his reaction that he doesn't know?
- Ian Vance: Not a clue.
- Dr. Natalie Manning: May I ask why don't you tell him?
- Ian Vance: Because Jim is... incredibly homophobic. He thinks homosexuality is... disgusting, deviant behavior.
- Dr. Will Halstead: Yeah, well, but right now he thinks you're willing to let him die.
- Ian Vance: Well, right now... right now he hates me for what I'm doing, but if I tell him this... he'll hate me for who I am.
- Dr. Natalie Manning: I understand, but just so you know, if you don't tell him soon, it may be too late.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Ms. Charles, what brings you to the ED today? Yellow fever? Plague?
- Robyn Charles: Eh, just a plain old cough Things have not been the same since the swine flu died down.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Well, don't worry. There'll be another epidemic one day.
- Robyn Charles: Eh, it's what I keep telling myself. You know, gotta stay positive.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: I never figured you for an optimist.
- Robyn Charles: Are you kidding me? I still root for the White Sox.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Wow.
- Robyn Charles: What did you tell Connor?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Come again?
- Robyn Charles: Did you tell him to stay away from me?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: No.
- Robyn Charles: You said something.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: I might have ind...
- Robyn Charles: [cutting him off] Who I date is not your concern.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: You're absolutely right. 100%.
- Robyn Charles: You are unbelievable.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: I'm sorry. I was wrong. If I worry about you, I can't help it.
- Robyn Charles: Okay, well, that's gonna need to stop.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Can't do it. I'm your dad. I know I haven't won any awards in that department...
- Robyn Charles: This is not a referendum on you.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: I'm sorry I wasn't there. I'm sorry I wasn't a father.
- Robyn Charles: Okay, see? That. That right there. Why does it always go back to that? Does it ever occur to you that I have moved on?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: I... I didn't.
- Robyn Charles: Not only am I past it, but I really... I do not care. So you can feel as guilty as you want, but you being overinvolved in my life now is not gonna cut it.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Spoke to your patient, Mr. Wallace.
- Dr. Ethan Choi: Let me guess, not a suicide risk.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Garden variety sociopath. He's an opportunist. Knows all the buzzwords. Not a sincere bone in his body.
- Dr. Ethan Choi: Good enough for me.
- [to an attending nurse]
- Dr. Ethan Choi: Let's start discharge paperwork on Treatment 4.
- [the nurse nods and leaves]
- Dr. Ethan Choi: Chalk one up for the good guys.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: [having learned Danny, the boy she was trying to rescue from sex traffickers, died] It's my fault.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: No, that's not true.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: Of course it is. I told him we could remove the chip. I encouraged him to run away.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: You empowered him to make decisions. It's what good doctors do.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: But they were the wrong decisions.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: It was the wrong outcome.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: And now he's dead. I mean, who knows? If... if I had told him to wait, maybe the police would have come and broken up the ring and he'd be free. I was careless with his life.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Dr. Reese, you're anything but careless. Sometimes the best advice, you know, it's just not enough. Dangerous thing about psychiatry, it can sometimes give those of us who practice it the illusion of control. But the human brain, it's... it is the most complex, mysterious object in the universe. That means that what we do, it... it just doesn't come with any guarantees.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: I don't think that makes me feel any better.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: I know. Never does.
