• Dr. Lawrence Kutner : [as Emmy is exercising for a test]  You okay? Trouble breathing?

  Emmy : No, I feel fine. Why?

  [collapses] 

  Dr. Chris Taub : No pulse. This isn't asthma.

• Dr. Chris Taub : [to Emmy]  The test will measure the amount of time it'll take this electrical impulse to travel along your nerves.

  Emmy : Will it hurt?

  Dr. Chris Taub : No. Give me your arm.

  Emmy : You can ask nicely.

  Dr. Chris Taub : I learned at med school you don't actually cure with kindness.

  Emmy : You're right. I'm a hypocrite, but I don't have a choice.

  Dr. Chris Taub : Not really interested in your rationalizations.

  Emmy : If I'm open about the gastric bypass, no one would listen to me anymore.

  Dr. Chris Taub : You mean no one would buy your DVDs.

  Emmy : It's not about the DVD sales. I'm helping people. My clients are making themselves healthy. They're living better lives. Can you honestly tell me you've never done anything hypocritical? I'm sure you had good reasons.

  Dr. Chris Taub : Give me your arm... please?

• Emmy : [to Taub]  If surgery could somehow make you taller, wouldn't you do it?

  Dr. Chris Taub : Sure, but I wouldn't call a meeting of the Lollipop Guild and tell them they can grow if they work real hard at it.
