Frank: Rag what?
Neela: Rasgotra.
Frank: Don't we hire Americans anymore?

Neela: What's a TWA?
Pratt: What?
Neela: What's a TWA?
Pratt: Where did you hear that?
Neela: The old guy at the desk with the flat head (referring to Frank) called me a TWA. I don't know what it means.

episode 5 - Out of Africa

Neela: I thought we weren't supposed to discharge them until the labs are back.
Kovac: Yeah, that's why Triage looks like a refugee camp.
Romano: Ha.
Kovac: Get his phone number and call him back in if his labs are abnormal. But trust me, they won't be.
Romano: We ought to send the whole staff to the dark continent.

Romano: Is that Pratt in there with Lewis?
Neela: No, that's Gallant.
Romano: Oh, I always get those two mixed up. Must be the goatee.

Luka: You sent that man up for a pulmonary angiogram?
Neela: Dr. Lewis wanted to be sure before heparinising.

episode 13 - Get Carter

Neela: So, how are you liking Chicago?
Kem: It's very...nice. How long have you been here?
Neela: I've been in America for seven years. Chicago for the last three.
Kem: Do you like it?
Neela: I still feel like I'm getting settled in. But it's quite pleasant for a big city, really. Although it's not quite London.
Kem: No. Or Paris.
Neela: No. It's much more agreeable in the summer. Tad warmer, too.
Kem: That is good to know.
Neela: And the people are friendly enough.
Kem: Yeah. They're larger than I expected. The people.
Neela: Yeah. They're quite fond of their giant portions here. Big Gulp, Supersize, Monster Fries, all that.
Kem: I saw a woman drinking a bucket of coffee this morning.
Neela: Actually, that's quite common.

episode 15 - Blood Relations

Neela:Is there any sort of air-conditioning?
Nurse Tim: Every year is the same thing, temperature goes down, heat goes up, and people aphixiate.
Neela: I mean why does it have to be so bloody hot in here?

Nurse Tim: Are you coming in?
Neela: Only until the other doctor arrives. Ouch!
Nurse Tim: You ok?
Neela: My ear.....is bleeding!
Nurse Tim: It's ok, you just punctured an ear drum. Don't worry it grows back.

episode 16 - Forgive and Forget

Neela: Hard to believe he [Frank] was an officer.

Pratt: That too.

episode 17 - The Student

Carter: Neela, we were ranking fourth year med students in there. And everybody agreed you're really bright, and we really like working with you.
Neela: Someone spoke poorly of me?
Carter: Well, nobody in particular.
Neela: Was it Dr. Chen? Because she's had it in for me...
Carter: Neela, you have to be more decisive. Okay, you have to be more...proactive.
Neela: They feel I'm too passive?
Carter: Tell you what, for the next four hours, you are a doctor. I want you to carry a minimum of three patients at all times. Start their workups, order their labs and meds, and present back to me only after you've put your own diagnostic plan into action. Today, you're a shark.
Neela: Shark?
Carter: Keep swimming, or you die.
(In the ambulance bay, Neela and Gallant are talking)
Neela: I don't like working on old people, children, drunks.
Gallant: What's with all the sick people? They make it such a drag. Listen, he's just motivating you for a match.
Neela: Well, maybe they're right. Maybe this job's just too fast for me, too... unpredictable.
Gallant: It's a big hospital. If the ER's not a fit...
Neela: Then what? The NICU made me want to jump off the roof. Peds is filled with screaming brats and anxious parents. And OB/GYN is a lifetime of overnights and malpractice suits. I could go into research or teaching, but is that really why I became a doctor?
Gallant: I'm sorry, were you talking to me?
Neela: (Annoyed sigh)

Gallant: Neela, do you want to match or don't you?
Neela: Only if I deserve to.
Gallant: You do. So let this be my fault.

Gallant: You know, earlier, in the ambulance bay, I was thinking of asking you out.
Neela: And I was thinking of saying yes.

Carter: Did you start that banana bag on Vern?
Neela: Three times. He keeps going off to the bathroom and coming back drunk. I think I should delete emergency medicine from my matches.
Carter: It was one mistake and I pushed you too hard.
Neela: No, what they said about me in your meeting was all true.
Carter: Look, you're a talented doctor and you did a lot of good things on the shift today.
Neela: Nothing I did on this shift can convince me or anyone else that I belong here.
Carter: Well, yesterday you were a little too cautious. Today you were a little too reckless. Somewhere in the middle is the way to practice emergency medicine.

Neela: [after Gallant covered her mistake] What you did was the sweetest, dumbest thing anyone has ever done for me.

episode 18 - Where There's Smoke

Chen: You're not a good doctor until you've killed someone.
Neela: (under her breath) Spoken like someone who hasn't.

Neela: You didn't tell me how your meeting went.
Gallant: It's gonna be fine.
Neela: Look. I'm sorry I've been... I don't know, bitchy, about this whole thing. It's just not comfortable for me. Lying and having someone else cover my mistakes. It just keeps compounding, one on top of the other. (pause)
Gallant: I'm being deployed to Iraq. I'm heading for Texas tomorrow morning.
Neela: You haven't finished your residency.
Gallant: Yeah, I know. I'm gonna finish up the last few electives down there.
Neela: They called you up, just like that?
Gallant: Yeah.
Neela: You're a coward.
Gallant: What, what?
Neela: Coward and a liar! I never asked you to do this for me, but you did! And now you're leaving, and I'm supposed to live with the fact that I killed a man, and that you helped and lied for me to cover it up.
Gallant: Listen, Neela.
Neela: No, Michael. Go to bloody Iraq. And tell your self you've done something noble.
Gallant: I had to protect you and Dr. Carter.
Neela: No...you didn't.

(Gallant is leaving for Iraq)
Neela: You'll need this. A rabbit foot. It's American for good luck, isn't it? (he takes it). Thanks.
Gallant: You're welcome. (They kiss)
Neela: You'd better come back. You know that, don't you.
Gallant: Yeah, I will. You just better be a damned good doctor when I do.

episode 21 - Midnight

(About graduation)
Neela: Abby, any family getting in?
Abby: No, we're not that close. We're more like survivers of a particulary brutal car-jacking than a family.

Neela: I can't believe we are actually graduating tomorrow.
Pratt: Neither can your future patients. Today, ill prepared students. Tomorrow, baby doctors with the fate of countless helpless victims in your incapable hands.
Morris: Yeah, they ought to make 'em wear "Caution" signs.
Pratt: Yeah. "Danger, new doc" in big red letters on your lab coats.
Abby: Thanks for the pep-talk Greg.
Pratt: Always happy to lend encouragement to the newbies.
Neela: Jerk.
Lester: Bastard.
Abby: Putz.

Pratt: ...its your last chance to learn something before you start screwing up your malpractice premiums.
Neela: ...wanker.
Lester: ...turd.
Abby: ...dick.
