Quotes 

• Jenny Kenney : My dad always wants to split a gift with my mom because he doesn't want to spoil me.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : I'm not splitting a gift with your dad. He still hasn't paid me back for the mattress we got you last year.

  Dr. Daniel Kutcher : That must have set you back. It is like sleeping on a cloud.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : Daniel, what did we talk about?

  Dr. Daniel Kutcher : [awkwardly quiet]  Boundaries.

• Jenny Kenney : I am so proud of you, mom. I only just heard of grand rounds, but now that I know what it is, I am super impressed.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : Well, what do you guys think I should present? I mean, I could discuss a patient. My rickets case was interesting, but is it sexy?

• Caleb : Wait, so, your ex is the reason you went to med school?

  Dr. Carol Kenney : No. And that's exactly why I never told any of you.

  Jenny Kenney : Yeah, that's kind of a sore spot. And now she's gonna tell you why she went to med school.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : I went to med school for myself, not for revenge, not to compete with him, not because I have anything to prove.

  Dr. Daniel Kutcher : Oh, like you'd have anything to prove to an anesthesiologist.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : Yeah. You have two responsibilities: put people to sleep, and remember to wake them up.

  Jenny Kenney : Oh. And now you've got her started on anesthesiologists. It's gonna be a while. Bye, guys.

• Jenny Kenney : Mom, just tell dad to give me cash; he can afford it. It's not like he's scraping by on his anesthesiologist's salary.

  [realizing her mistake] 

  Jenny Kenney : Oops. I'm sorry, mom.

  Dr. Lexie Gilani : Hold up. Carol, your ex was a doctor?

  Dr. Carol Kenney : Barely. I mean, he basically does crosswords and-and tries not to lock people into a living coma.

• Richard Kenney : Hi, Carol. I tried to reach you. You probably thought it was about splitting Jenny's birthday gift, but I already bought her a car.

  Jenny Kenney : Wait. Seriously?

  [hugging him, then seeing Carol's look] 

  Jenny Kenney : Oh, dad, that is just... too much.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : A car? That is way too extravagant.

  Richard Kenney : I know it's a splurge, but I can afford it. I've got a new job. I'm the new chief of staff.

  Dr. Carol Kenney : Where?

  Richard Kenney : Here.
