Quotes 

• Dr. Rick Dagless : [talking to mother about hospitalized son]  He's a good kid, but you've got to keep him off the smack otherwise this will keep happening. How about you find yourself a husband, get some stability in your life.

• Dr Liz Asher : [talking about a patient that has turned green]  Apparently she was in for a routine operation to get her toe shortened which was really long like a finger, the next thing she knew this happened. All in all you could say that she's a little off color.

  [Thorton, Liz, and Dagless all laugh] 

  Dr Lucien Sanchez : [shouts]  You shut your mouth Liz!

  Dr. Rick Dagless : No you shut your mouth Sanch, that was funny. Look, if we lose our sense of humor in this place we might as well all go and kill ourselves.

  Dean Learner : Dag's right. After all, the reason I got into medicine in the first place was for the laughs. That and the pussy, and that dried up ten years ago if you pardon the expression.

• Garth Marenghi : With this show, I wanted people to laugh and cry... and shit themselves all at the same time.

• Garth Marenghi : The broccoli had gone. But the hurt remained.

• Dr. Rick Dagless : What's this?

  Linda : A dreamcatcher

  Dr. Rick Dagless : What's a dreamcatcher?

  Linda : It's like a wind chime.

  Dr. Rick Dagless : Then why didn't you say wind chime?

• Garth Marenghi : I've always loved the great tragedies, King Lear, The Poseidon Adventure, Superman 2.

• Dr. Rick Dagless : I'm finding food a real bore at the moment.

  Dr Lucien Sanchez : What I do is sometimes get a tin of soup, heat it up, poach an egg in it, serve that with a pork pie sausage roll.

  Dr. Rick Dagless : I'll get a Wimpy.
