Quotes 

• Jimmy : I can't believe you were hooking up with Boscorelli.

  Kim : We weren't "hooking up"... What?

  Jimmy : You always jumped me the hardest when we had the worst nights.

  Kim : That's not true.

  Jimmy : Look... I care about you. I just don't want to see anyone take advantage of you, that's all.

  Kim : We were talking.

  Jimmy : Well then he seriously needs to get his suspension looked at.

• Carlos : I would think people would covet me as a partner.

  Kim : Covet?

  Carlos : I know my stuff, I don't get in the way, I'm not above doing some of the dirty work. I definitely know the medical, the paperwork's not a problem. I'll drive if you want, I'll ride if you want. I'm flexible, and flexible is what you want in a partner. You remember that.

  Kim : Oh yeah, not to mention sexist, self-absorb, juvenile...

  Carlos : Juvenile?

  Kim : Yeah, Joey's more mature than you.

  Carlos : Don't even bring that up... You're a juvenile!

• [On one of Bobby's former girlfriends] 

  Kim : What's the matter? She's smart, sexy...

  Bobby : Then maybe YOU should sleep with her.

• [Kim and Alex just met] 

  Kim : Great, another "ER" fan.

  Alex : I was a paramedic before I moved up.

• [Kim is playing with her palm pilot] 

  Kim : That's it, instant access to every city phone number you could possibly need. Ha ha, look at that.

  Alex : Good. You can call somebody who cares.

• [about Bobby] 

  Kim : He was just being a good Samaritan, and look where that got him.

• [over ambulance speaker] 

  Bobby : Please move to your right!

  [vehicle moves left] 

  Kim : Your other right!

• Kim : Hot damn, I love this job!

• Kim : Jimmy came over last night.

  Bobby : For what?

  Kim : He left this morning.

• Kim : I'm not spending the next five years of my life having Joey listen to his mom audition husbands on the other side of the wall.

• [about the obese woman] 

  Kim : Any ideas on how to get her out of here?

  Bosco : Put her on a diet and wait for spring.

  Kim : Any good ideas?

• Jimmy : Workplace love affairs, never easy.

  Kim : Don't start with me Jimmy.

  Jimmy : What? I saw it on "Rosie."

• Kim : How come we never get the overturned armored car jobs?

  Doc : Because we're lucky.

  Kim : Yeah, it would be hard not to accidentally let a few bucks fall into our med bag.

  Doc : That's why we're lucky.

• [about Kim's taste in men] 

  Bobby : Jimmy Doherty.

  Kim : It was a weak moment.

  Bobby : Kim, you married him!

• Yokas : Hey, you're wearing a vest.

  Kim : Yeah, my ex-husband's idea of a birthday gift.

  Yokas : Yeah, I usually get a dustbuster or something equally romantic.

  Kim : Yeah, a dustbuster I could use. This thing is just hot and uncomfortable. Not to mention it looks like I'm wearing a barrel.

  Bosco : You look pretty good to me.

• [to Bobby] 

  Kim : You know what? You're gonna end up one of those lonely old guys shuffling around the park feeding stale rolls to pigeons.

• Coach Capri : This isn't Campfire Girls. It's a contact sport. That's why they call it hockey.

  Kim : Yeah, you said that already. What, is your needle stuck?

• Kim : Jimmy rappelled off the roof?

  Doc : Yeah, took us out a window. Good thing too. A couple more minutes up there we'd of been toast.

  Bobby : Long way down.

  Kim : Crazy son of a bitch.

• Bobby : You learn the same things in public school. The only difference is you're having sex in the subway instead of at the Waldorf.

  Kim : You had sex in the subway?

  Bobby : Stand clear of the closing doors, baby.

• Kim : Doc was too busy helping mother Teresa with the bandages.

  Bobby : Come on, you must have done some crazy stuff man. Give it up.

  Doc : Between the Peace Core and the soup kitchen I barely had enough time to train all those seeing eye dogs.

• Kim : What happened?

  Bobby : Doc was playing God again.

  Kim : Oh, you got promoted from saint to the big guy?

• [after someone shoots Rudy in the back of the police car] 

  Kim : You guys sure you're okay?

  Yokas : Yeah, I'll let you know when my ass unpuckers.

  Bobby : Mine wouldn't until April.

  Yokas : Who would want to hurt Rudy Granger?

  Bosco : Obviously someone who wants me to have a really bad day.

  Davis : I bet you Rudy'd say his day was worse.

• [Kim is showing off new boots that she got] 

  Kim : Laugh all you want now, but you're gonna be begging for a pair of these puppies next time we have to stand in the snow for two hours.

  Doc : When do we ever have to stand in the snow for two hours?

  Bobby : Never.

  Jimmy : What the hell are those?

  Bobby : Kim's entering the Iditarod.

• Kim : [Sam is laying in the middle of the road]  Oh great, a human speed bump.

• Carlos : Maybe you should focus less this way and more on that fruit loop you got for a partner now.

  Doc : Hey, watch your mouth.

  Kim : [walks in]  What's he talking about, a woman he has no chance with?

  Carlos : No, a breakfast cereal.

• Junkie : You wrecked my high.

  Kim : You're welcome.

  Junkie : I never meant to hurt her.

  Kim : Kill her, you mean.

  Junkie : What?

  Kim : You beat her to death. And here we are making sure you survive. It's awake, Bosco!

• Carlos : I never lost consciousness! Come on!

  Taylor : You called Jimmy "Charlene" and said you didn't want to go to school today.

  Doctor : What happened?

  Kim : 20 foot fall. He's got a lump, a scalp lac, and a big mouth.

• Doc : [about Carlos]  Either of you know what the hell he was doing on that pole?

  Taylor : No, but I wish I had some photos.

  Kim : Walsh said he heard him screaming for someone to call 9-1-1.

  Taylor : You're kidding.

  Doc : It's not funny, guys.

  Taylor : Oh come on, Doc, it is too funny.

  Kim : [imitating Carlos]  "Call 9-1-1!"

• Kim : [about the Palm Pilot]  This thing is gonna change my life. No wonder I can't ever find anybody. I got listings under last names, first names. I got you under 'P' for Paramedic.

  Taylor : Why not 'D' for delightful?

• Kim : I never really thought about it. Lieutenant Zambrano, Lieutenant. Lieu.

  Carlos : Ooh, I just got chicken skin.

  Kim : Hey Lieu, got a minute?

  Carlos : It's a strange coincidence, don't you think? The two

  [Doc and Kim] 

  Carlos : of you get on the promotion list at the same time.

  Kim : It's a test, Carlos. A civil service exam.

  Carlos : Yeah, but I mean, you know, what were you doing, having secret study groups or something? You could have at least told me about it.

  Kim : You're certifiable, you know that?

  Carlos : Oh, that means a lot coming from you, Lieu.

  Kim : Oh shut-up.

  Carlos : Yes sir.

  Kim : What the hell is chicken skin?

• Kim : Who the hell would voluntarily live in a neighborhood like this?

  Doc : My place is three blocks from here.

  Kim : Not to say that there isn't potential.

• Doc : [about the junkie]  Weak pulse, needs air.

  Kim : Yeah, that's a matter of opinion.

• Kim : [about working together]  Seemed kind of smooth, didn't it? Kind of right.

  Taylor : Yeah, kind of right.

  Kim : Yeah. Except for the lifting of that big guy part.

  Taylor : Oh, lifting definitely sucked.

• Taylor : Well, looks like I got the rest of the day off.

  Kim : Well, that's the first time I considered you lucky for working with Carlos.

• Doc : I don't hear anybody calling you "granny."

  Kim : That's 'cause they know I'd kick their ass.

• [after being hit by a car] 

  Taylor : I'm glad you weren't there or you could've gotten hit too.

  Kim : Eh. I would have looked both ways.

• Carlos : Any chance you'll name that baby after me?

  Kim : Absolutely none!

  Carlos : That's fair enough. Carlos Doherty wouldn't make much sense anyway...

• [to a shooting victim] 

  Bosco : Your real name is Wiggy?

  Kim : Oh, great. I'm working overtime for a guy named Wiggy.

• Carlos : My first day I was a half an hour early.

  Kim : Yeah, and the fire guys made you stand right over there for the 30 minutes until we got here.

  Carlos : [points in opposite direction]  No, no. It was more like over there.

• Carlos : Where were these girls when I was in high school?

  Kim : In kindergarten. Remember that.

• Kim : You're delusional Carlos. You can't even pass a woman without making some juvenile creepy comment. If you "accidentally" ever touched any part of my body, I'd want to be boiled.

• [looking for fingers in the snow] 

  Kim : Hey, I got one!

  Man : She gonna find them all?

  Taylor : She won't stop looking till she does.

• Grace Foster : I am gonna jump out of my skin.

  Kim : Oh, I'm sorry, Grace. You want me to run someone over so you can go out and patch them up?

  Grace Foster : Well, you'd have to hit them pretty good for it to be interesting.

• Davis : I got the wind knocked out of me, that's all.

  Kim : Falling four flights will do that to you, superboy.

• [after a car accident] 

  Kim : How's your breathing?

  Aaron Noble : Pretty good, pretty good, yours?

  Kim : You lose consciousness at all?

  Aaron Noble : Well, once in the 60s. But, ah well, it was the 60s.

• Kim : Why would you leave if you were hurt?

  Aaron Noble : I don't know. I get frequent bleeder miles at another hospital.

• Kim : All right, we gotta go to SoHo.

  Carlos : Do I look like a cabbie?

• Old Man : If you'll snuggle with me I'll feel better.

  Kim : Well, thanks, but it's kind of serious.

  Old Man : So who's the lucky fella.

  Carlos : He's a writer. He's your age. You might have a chance.

• Kim : By the way thanks for standing up for me back there... By saying that I looked good.

  Carlos : You ran me off for it!

  Kim : Still... That was perfect.

  Carlos : That was pretty good, wasn't it?

• Carlos : You realize I'm not arguing with you?

  Kim : Well, what would you do?

  Carlos : You're asking me? My opinion?

  Kim : Just this once.

• Bobby : Treva.

  Kim : What kind of name is that?

  Bobby : What? It's worse than Kim?

  Kim : What's wrong with Kim?

  Bobby : It's just Kim. It doesn't mean anything.

  Kim : Yes it does. It's like a saint or something.

  Bobby : Saint Kimberly? In what religion?

• Kim : 'Hold this crystal'? A guy is bleeding out of his leg, how's holding a crystal gonna help him?

  Holly Levine : When he was holding the crystal he wasn't thinking about his leg.

• Carlos : This came for you.

  Kim : It's official.

  Carlos : Right. That's probably why the word "official" is stamped all over it in big, red letters.

  Kim : Play nice.

• Doc : Hey guys.

  Kim : Hey. Here to scare away the new guy?

  Doc : I am the new guy.

• Kim : You purposely ran over someone today!

  Doc : He was shooting at Sully and Davis!

  Kim : So, what are you a cop now?

• [to Doc] 

  Kim : What did we learn the first day of paramedic training? 'Cops are all jerks'.

  Davis : You guys all right?

  Kim : Yeah.

  Davis : You sure? You're good?

  Kim : Yeah.

  Sully : You know what they taught us the first day of cop school? 'Take a look around before you insult somebody'.

• Kim : When did you become an old movie buff?

  Jimmy : I have a lot of downtime.

  Kim : Meaning?

  Jimmy : I don't date. I rarely hang out with the guys. I just go to work and take care of Joey. Who knew you could be happy doing that?

  Kim : Wow! You're almost a grown-up.

  Jimmy : Almost.

• Jimmy : Don't you know that Cosmo says that you should do everything that you can to make your man feel important to you?

  Kim : You read Cosmo now?

  Jimmy : No. But it does sound like something they'd write, doesn't it?

• [about Doc] 

  Kim : He seems incredibly happy.

  Carlos : Why wouldn't he be? He was right again.
