Dr. Cox Quote #689

Quote from Dr. Cox in His Story III

Elliot: Have you seen Carla?
Dr. Cox: Nope. My turn. Have you seen how stupid you look when you do your angry quick-walk? [imitates Elliot]
Elliot: Carla covered for one of my interns and then lied to my face about it.
Dr. Cox: Come on. Of course she did. If an intern got hammered by their attending and stripped of what little self-confidence they have every time they messed up, there wouldn't be any interns left. And luckily for everyone in this dump, Carla happens to have been here long enough to be able to identify when someone needs to be protected.
Elliot: These kids need to start standing on their own two-
Dr. Cox: You got that right, sister. Because you definitely got where you are on your own.
Elliot: You sure didn't give me any help.
Dr. Cox: I didn't say I did.
[As Elliot walks through the I.C.U, she sees Carla helping her when she was an intern]

Quote from Carla

Carla: Keith, you better not tell her who did it.
Keith: But Elliot scares me.
Carla: Elliot is a blonde, 108-pound ski pole from a cul-de-sac in Connecticut. I am an underpaid pregnant nurse from the block, who, over the next six months, will become fatter and angrier. Now, who are you really afraid of?
Keith: The fatty.
Carla: Be careful, Keith.

Quote from Dr. Cox

Dr. Cox: You're black? 'cause, last I checked, you had a nerdy white best friend, you enjoy Neil Diamond, and you damn sure act like a black guy. And these, my friend, are all characteristics of white guys. Now, please understand, I'm a huge supporter of the NAACP. I mean, if you don't know what stands for, that is the National Association For The Advancement Of Colored People. And quite frankly, I always thought they should change the "Colored People" to "African-Americans." But then of course it wouldn't be the NAACP, it would be the "N quad A," or NAAAA. And I know this probably sounds like a digression, but it actually leads me back to my original point: Do I think you're black? Nah.
