- Quotes
[last lines]
Subpoena Server: Excuse me, Doctor Quincy?
Dr. R. Quincy, M.E.: Yes.
Subpoena Server: Senior Medical Examiner for the County of Los Angeles?
Dr. R. Quincy, M.E.: That's right.
Subpoena Server: This is for you.
[he hands Quincy a subpoena]
Dr. R. Quincy, M.E.: What is it?
Subpoena Server: Well, you've just been served, Doctor. This is a defamation suit against you brought by Transglobal Airlines. And if you read the fine print, the plaintiffs have also secured a restraining order that expressly prohibits you from making any public pronouncements that can be construed as either damaging or slanderous to the airline.
[Quincy is outraged]
Subpoena Server: Doctor, you've just been gagged.
[Quincy is left in devastated silence]
Despite the logical possibilities and preachiness of the show, this is a very good episode. In particular, the ending really hits you very hard and it was well made and gets its point across.
UPDATE: I did a bit of checking and life rafts or the use of inflatable slides as rafts is now common on US airliners. However, the availability is NOT on all planes. The same article also went on to admit that the last time anyone in the US died because there was no raft was 1978--and this was from drowning not hypothermia.
