Conversation between Dr. Shutt and his then estranged wife

"You wanna talk to me" he replies with quiet fury "get yourself scheduled for one of my procedures."
"KILL yourself" she replies angrily and starts to get up, he grabs her arm.
"Hey" he says "You're a liar" ...He tells her angrily that he objects to the way she blames the marriage break up on him, he points out that she was as consumed with her career as he was with his.
Camille quietly turns to him and says "until I woke up one day and realized it wasn't enough" she gazes sadly at him "I turned to you and you weren't there.....you had forgotten HOW to be there"
Shutt turns to her with quiet anger "It takes TWO to forget
Camille.......It takes two"!!!

Watters: "Dr. Penis Head assisted, but Geiger did it."
Geiger (to Thurmond as he's watching Camillie and Aaron fight.): "She's gonna fake to left, go back up the middle. I saw this on a PBS special. That's not friendly body language. See those little specks of spit coming out of her mouth? That's hostility."
Camille: "I lost my husband to another man."
Arthur: "Are they homosexuals Phillip? Not that they don't have rights, they do throw a lovely parade."

Jeffrey: "Am I the only one in this hospital not having sex."
Jeffrey: "What a profound thought, it should come with bubble gum."

Judge: "Now I want you to tell this whole courtroom, 'Together we are toads.'"
Saunders: "I really don't think..."
Judge: "Say it."
Saunders and Birch:" Together we are toads."
Judge: "Thank you. Court order granted. Dismissed."
Birch: "Your Honor, I am not a toad. I am here as an attorney in the normal course of legal business. Now there would be consequences if we unilaterally amputated that finger without a declarative judgement. So I, I just don't give a damn about your little trip to Florida. I don't give a rat's ass about taking up your time. And see you your honor, are a toad. Yea, yeah, there he is people. Look up at him, there he resides Judge Toad. The honorable justice toad."

Jeffrey: "The hole in her heart... Alicia is suffering from congestive heart failure. The blood is backed up in her lungs. She's got pulmonary edema."
Alan: "Is she going to live."
Jeffrey: "We need to operate to patch the heart so the blood doesn't keep getting backed up.

Danny: "I'm sorry I've never heard of a personality-ectomy."
Alan: "I want this case reassigned to another doctor."
Jeffrey: "Why is that Alan?"
Alan: "Because you missed the holes Jeffrey that why, then maybe you didn't get them all patched. Then maybe your stitching caused the swelling that screwed up the electrocal conduction. And the pacemaker wires you put in came loose. Jeffrey you are doing terrible work. That's why."
Jeffrey: "You want another doctor. Get yourself another doctor."
Alan: "The problem with you is you're happy that's the problem with you."
Jeffrey: "I beg your pardon?"
Alan: "Infante. She's knocked you off your game."
Jeffrey: "What did you just say?"
Alan: "I'm sorry that's the way I see it. Jeffrey Geiger has always been angry and you channel that anger into your work and that's what makes you brilliant. You told me one of the reasons you sing in the room is to fight the rage. Well you haven't been singing in the O.R. Jeffrey."
Jeffrey: "Well when things are deadly serious I usually don't sing. That was me concentrating in there Alan. Concentrating on your daughter."
Alan: "I don't think so. The old Jeffrey Geiger would have fixed Alicia simple."
Jeffrey: "With all due respect to you emotional predicament the old Jeffrey Geiger is about to emerge andstep down on you head."

Alan: "I put out a memo regarding coarse humor in public areas...maybe you didn't get it?"
Jeffrey: "Yes, but I'd run out of toilet paper, I had to put your memo to emergency use...Sharing that here was probably a violation of your directive wasn't it? Sorry, I'm chagrined, let's wipe the slate clean...you got another memo handy?"
