Hank: Florida agrees with you.
Evan: And grampa?
Eddie: He never agrees with me. But, that's his way.

Eddie: So how about my little one, huh? ICEEs and popcorn on me.
Evan: Little one, really? Dad, no I'm booked, come on!
Eddie: Oh, play hooky, you were always good at playing hooky.
Evan: Do I look dressed for hooky?

Evan: Speaking of dads, guess who showed up from Florida?
Paige: No, don't tell me...
Evan: Yep, unannounced. "Hello Boys", just showed up.
Paige: Did that bother you?
Evan: No, I'm happy. It's just, he and Hank sometimes treat me like a lost puppy. Which I'm not, at all.

Eddie R. Lawson: I'm a changed person, I'd like to put our past behind us.
Boris: I am sure that you would.

Boris: The past cannot be shed like a snakeskin Mr. Lawson.
Eddie R. Lawson: Very well said.
Boris: But if I can depend on your future discretion, we will have no issue. But if there is one misstep, all that changes.
Eddie R. Lawson: Understood, I promise not a misstep, sir!

Nell Bochinski: Have you heard of Plum Island?
Evan: The top secret off limits bio-terrorism lab two miles off the coast? I might have.
Nell Bochinski: It was a USDA animal research facility.
Evan: Well, that's the cover story. What about those hybrid monster carcasses that keep washing up on Montauk beaches? Everyone knows those are created on Plum Island, right? Your grampa worked at that place?
Nell Bochinski: My grampa ran that place.

Eddie R. Lawson: I didn't reveal anything too personal did I?
Hank: Ahh, didn't seem personal. In fact, it seemed a little fabricated.
Eddie R. Lawson: In what way?
Hank: In the made up way.

Evan: Hey, why don't you tell us a little bit about one of your new patients, Henry?
Hank: Oh,umm, because of a little thing called professionalism, Evan.
Evan: Or, because of a little thing called, "you don't have any"!
Hank: Ouch, that almost stings.

Hank: Nice work.
Evan: You too.
Eddie R. Lawson: Well, looks like HankMed is back from the dead.

Evan: Here. (hands Hank a beer) If you get a call I'll have Jeremiah cover for ya.
Hank: Yes.
Evan: It's one of the benefits of having a practice where you're not the only doctor.
Hank: Umm, are you suggesting...?
Evan: Are you offering?
Divya: Yes he is and yes you are! Okay, let's make this official.
Evan: We'll have to figure out the details...
Hank: Later. (proposes a toast) To the return of the living HankMed.

Hank: For what it's worth I'm sure you were a much better wild child than I was. I mean there was nothing you wouldn't try to get away with.
Evan: But that's not who I am now, Henry.
Hank: No, it's not. Ev you brought us out here, you envisioned this practice. Without you Evan, I wouldn't have this new life that I love so much. And I took way too long to acknowledge all that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I sold you short, I'm sorry I quit. I shoulda tried harder to work it out with you, like we always do, like we will do this time too. Because there is still plenty to work out.
Evan: There is still plenty to work out.
Hank: Is there an echo in here?

Boris: (to Hank) Where's Costello? Your sidekick, the funny one.

Lou Costello was an American comedian who partnered with Bud Abbott in numerous films.

Eddie: (to Evan) ICEEs and popcorn on me.

An ICEE is a frozen carbonated beverage that has been in production since 1958.

Nell Bochinski: Have you heard of Plum Island?

Evan: (to Eddie) And grampa?

In episode 3x04, The Shaw/Hank Redemption, Hank and Evan learn that they have a grandfather, and he is alive and well.

The title of the episode, Dawn Of The Med, is a reference to the classic George Romero movie Dawn Of The Dead, and zombies are what both of them have in common. However the title actually refers to the beginning (Dawn) of the new and improved HankMed (Med).
