Abhi Sinha: Mike Wright

Quotes 

• Mike Wright : So, you're dating your boss, huh? How's that work?

  Seth Wright : Mikey, tonight's about you, okay? My little brother just killed the MCATs.

  Mike Wright : My big brother celebrates by dragging me to "Götterdämmerung". Yeah. I hate opera.

  Seth Wright : I know. That's why I dragged you.

• Emily Rhodes : I know Seth well, really well, which is why I was surprised to hear that he's been wolfing modafinil.

  Mike Wright : Seth's a perfectionist. Always wants to stay ahead of the curve.

  Emily Rhodes : Runs in the family. I hear you just crushed the MCATs.

  Mike Wright : Yeah, I did okay.

  Emily Rhodes : Must have been a lot of late nights.

  Mike Wright : It was brutal.

  Emily Rhodes : My cousin just crammed for that beast; sixteen hour days for months. You know what got her through it? Modafinil. Handfuls of the stuff. Seth was adamant that he wouldn't testify, and I think I know why. Because to defend himself, he'd have to commit perjury. He's covering for you, isn't he?

  Mike Wright : [nodding]  I didn't want him to, but he told me to keep my mouth shut, said I could never get into med school with a drug conviction.

  Emily Rhodes : And he was right. But that doesn't mean you're not wrong.

  Mike Wright : I'll call Ms. Daynes.

  Emily Rhodes : There's no point. He's just gonna say that you're lying because... that's who he is; loyal to a fault.

  Mike Wright : I'm so sorry.

  Emily Rhodes : I am, too. Your big brother made a decision to protect you, Michael. The problem is... no one may be able to protect him.
