Tales from the Crypt (TV Series)

Fitting Punishment (1990)

Nick LaTour: Doctor

Quotes 

• Doctor : Your nephew has suffered a severe spinal injury, Mr. Thornberry. He'll never walk again. How on earth did that happen?

  Uncle Ezra Thornberry : His own carelessness I'm afraid. He fell down the stairs, if I've told him once, I've told him a thousand times no running inside. He's a spirited boy, you know, an athlete.

  Doctor : [grimly]  Not anymore.

• Doctor : Strange how he should happen to fall down the stairs again, isn't it, Mr. Thornberry?

  Uncle Ezra Thornberry : Perhaps for the best. The boy was full of vigor, he would've made a miserable cripple.

  Doctor : Such a *short* coffin for a boy so tall.
