Shiri Appleby: Carla Niven

Quotes 

• Malaya Pineda : You should be home in bed.

  [speaking to her ex and doctor, who is pregnant and very ill] 

  Carla Niven : You're having a bone marrow drive? I've gotten like five e-mails wishing me well.

  [sighs] 

  Malaya Pineda : I can't talk about this now, okay?

  Carla Niven : And, you're handing... You're handing out flyers? I mean, this is so you. This is so you to try and bake sale away leukemia.

  Malaya Pineda : You know what, Carla? Over 70 people have taken time out of their insane night to try and help you.

  Carla Niven : No! I don't want their help!

  Malaya Pineda : I know it's a hard decision...

  Carla Niven : ...No, it's not.

  Malaya Pineda : But the one thing you can't do, is nothing.

  Carla Niven : Nothing gets me a healthy baby. Treatment gets me a 6% chance of being alive after three years.

  Malaya Pineda : The survival rate can be higher. They're trialing new approaches... Aerosolized GM-CSF...

  Carla Niven : No, I'm not... I'm not gonna induce at 24 weeks for a 6% chance.

  Malaya Pineda : 24 weeks is doable!

  Carla Niven : Doable? Do you think that being born blue and having to be intubated is doable? You think being in the NICU for months, and then, even if it survives, ending up with cerebral palsy or lung disease, or an intraventricular hemorrhage. You think that's doable? I'm sorry, but to me, that is not doable.

  Malaya Pineda : I'm not gonna sit by and watch you die. That's not doable, either.

  Carla Niven : I thought, for whatever time I had left, that you were back in my life. I guess not.
