- Dr. Luisa 'Lu' Delgado: You need someone who knows the streets, and you don't know jack.
- Dr. Dylan West: And you do?
- Dr. Luisa 'Lu' Delgado: As a matter of fact, Jack happens to be a very good friend of mine.
- Dr. Dylan West: Mr. Lawson, don't give up hope.
- Mr. Lawson: Try looking from the world from where I'm sitting before you lecture me on hope.
- Dr. Dylan West: I've been there.
- Mr. Lawson: You've killed someone?
- Dr. Dylan West: Yeah. I killed my fiancée. I was a fourth-year surgical resident when I met her. She was amazing. Three months after our first date, I asked her to marry me. We were heading up to the Poconos for a ski weekend. I just got off of 36 hours on call. I had no business being behind the wheel. But she wanted to wake up in the mountains. And there was no way I was going to disappoint her.

- Dr. Dylan West: 10 miles outside of Tannerville...
- [sigh]
- Dr. Dylan West: ... I fell asleep. The car flipped. And she was dead before the paramedics got there.
- Mr. Lawson: That was an accident.
- Dr. Dylan West: Think that matters to me?
- [sigh]
- Dr. Dylan West: You think I feel any less guilty?
- Mr. Lawson: Looks like you got over her.
- Dr. Dylan West: No. I learned to live with it. I just finally realized that... every situation no matter how awful presents an opportunity.
- Mr. Lawson: If you're about to tell me everything happens for a reason, I swear, I-I'll drop you right where you're sitting.
- Dr. Dylan West: No. things happen because people make choices. And sometimes bad things happen for no reason at all. But we still have a choice how to handle it. As bad as things are for you right now, you have a choice... to make things better or make things worse.
- Araya: I get to pick the movie.
- Dr. Dylan West: Fine, but nothing gory.
- Araya: You're a surgeon! What do you do, operate with your eyes closed?
- Dr. Dylan West: Oh, no! We're flooding! This damn water pump keeps going out.
- Araya: That's a titanic amount of water!
- Dr. Dylan West: Would you just go get some towels and a broom?
- Araya: Hell, no, I'm abandoning ship!
