My Way or the Highway (2002)

Judy Reyes: Nurse Carla Espinosa

Quotes 

• Carla : Elliot, you know how they say, "No one will ever love you until you learn to love yourself?"

  Elliot : My mother used to say, "No one will ever love you."

• Elliot : [about a patient]  This might sound weird, but I'm in love with that guy. And if I don't sleep with him, I'm gonna kill myself! It's inappropriate to jump a patient, isn't it?

  Carla : Totally.

  Elliot : Have you ever done it?

  Carla : Tons of times.

  [Turk comes up to them] 

  Turk : Tons of times what, baby?

  Carla : [smiling]  Nothing, baby.

• Elliot : Why hasn't he asked me out? I mean, he knows I'm single, I've mentioned, like, five movies that I want to see, I--I even keep dropping things so that when I pick them up he can see how flexible I am!

  Carla : Look, Elliot, you have to understand, these things take time and self-respect... so we're gonna focus on time.

• Carla : You know what your problem is?

  Dr. Perry Cox : There are times I put myself in situ-...

  Carla : Oh, my God! Who answers that question? You see, THAT is your problem -- you think you have the answers to e-heh-everything, but instead, you end up throwing gas on the fire, and everyone else has to pay the consequences.

  Dr. Perry Cox : That's almost exactly what I was going to say.
