peak tvtropes for saying that using a homophobic slur against a lesbian is an "awesome moment" lol


* In "Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic", Kerry has fired resident Dave Malucci. Ostensibly for having sex with a paramedic while on duty, but mostly to ensure that he takes the blame for the death of a patient (conveniently ignoring her own failure to supervise him, scapegoating him and Jing-Mei for the entire thing to cover her own ass). After all of Dave's pleas leave Kerry completely unmoved, he proceeds to deliver an ''epic'' and long overdue TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yJI2E3VqKE where he basically says everything that everyone has wanted to say to her for years]]:
-->'''Dave''': You're a sad, cold-hearted ''bitch'', you know that?\\
'''Kerry''': Somebody call security.\\
'''Dave''': You may not like me, but ''nobody'' here likes you.\\
'''Kerry''': GetOut!\\
'''Dave''': You know why this stupid ER is so important to you, lady? You know why? Because it's the only thing you have in your life! Nazi dyke! ''(rips off ID, throws it in her face, and storms out)''
** The use of the homophobic slur is unfortunate, but other than that it was thrilling to see Kerry finally get a dose of the public humiliation she had so frequently doled out to the staff for six years.
** On the other hand, to viewers more sympathetic to Kerry -- who, whatever her many flaws, is a ''superb'' doctor -- watching her stoically take every bit of petty, unprofessional abuse Malucci could dish out and still tossing his ass out on the street was pretty damn satisfying.
