- Dr. Seth Griffin: [as Birch walks passed Griffin and Novino] Was it something we said?
- Dr. Carol Novino: Something we didn't say.
- Dr. Seth Griffin: All right, she's lucky we didn't j'accuseher.
- Dr. Carol Novino: She should've copped to the truth instead of putting us under pressure like that.
- Dr. Seth Griffin: That's my point exactly.
- Dr. Carol Novino: Well, we're first year residents. We have to stick together.
- Dr. Seth Griffin: Yeah, except the way the system works, we all don't get life jackets. So you're on top of your game, Novino. I can see that.
- Dr. Carol Novino: Thanks.
- Dr. Seth Griffin: But she is a ball dropper, and if we're not careful, you and I could end up Westphall-ed.
- Dr. Carol Novino: Westphall-ed?
- Dr. Seth Griffin: A medic crushed under the weight of a moving ethical force. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like the old guy, but he's the reason this dump is sliding into the Charles.
- Dr. Carol Novino: Things aren't so bad here.
- Dr. Seth Griffin: [as he is eating] You haven't tasted my sausage.
