Quotes 

• Battalion Chief : Gage.

  Paramedic John Gage : Yes sir?

  Battalion Chief : That special training program. Remember? We were talking about it a couple of days ago?

  Paramedic John Gage : Yes sir. The para-something-or-other...

  Battalion Chief : Paramedics. The first class just finished last week.

  Paramedic John Gage : Good.

  Battalion Chief : I'm supposed to encourage all our young rescue personnel to volunteer for the next class.

  Paramedic John Gage : Yes sir. Wellll, I guess I'm just too stupid to take advantage of such an opportunity.

  Battalion Chief : I know it's work. No raise in pay. But, it just might be worthwhile.

  Paramedic John Gage : It might be, if I wanted to be an ambulance attendant; but I don't. Chief, I'm a rescue man. I trained to be a rescue man and I like being a rescue man. Now, why should I die from improvements?

  Battalion Chief : Why should you?

  Battalion Chief : You like being a rescue man.
