Maybe I just got tired of hearing the sound of my own voice.”
You hired a nurse for a reason.”
It’s my decision! And I don’t appreciate you trying to recruit more soldiers to your cause.”
No, I don’t want to talk to my husband directly. That’s why I hired a lawyer.”
I know you judge me, but in my country I was persecuted. I had to flee.”
I’m a surgeon. Show some respect.”
Those girls would have gone to someone else. At least I know what I’m doing.”

Poor little girl. What did she ever do to deserve this?”
Is this gonna keep happening? Is it gonna get worse?”
I would too. That’s why I like it down here. I’m – I’m not good with suffering. It’s just…too much up there.”
Nice fricking move. Right on sister. I knew you were smart.”
He’s given me so much. How do I ever pay that back? “

It’s just a friendly dinner.”
Wonderful, the guy enforcing the rules is the one who’s always breaking them.”
I suspect it was ego more than altruism. Great surgeons know the balance. You’re confident, not arrogant. I like that,”
