Quotes 

• Dr. Mark Craig : What are we gonna do with a building?

  Dr. Daniel Auschlander : I'm headed over to inspect the property. It's supposed to be a city landmark from the Civil War era. Excuse me, Donald, if you would, take over.

  [Leaves the meeting] 

  Dr. Mark Craig : Look if this building is a firetrap, let's tear it down. We don't need another headache.

  Dr. Donald Westphall : Mark, what about the people who are living there now? Where are they supposed to go?

  Dr. Mark Craig : Sling your hash in another direction, will ya?

  Dr. Donald Westphall : What do you mean?

  Dr. Mark Craig : Your community service program. The intention was good but the execution stinks. Residents are out on the street being robbed, blown up, and this latest fiasco, Morrison came back here looking like an anchovy pizza. Fertig, Donald.

  Dr. Donald Westphall : Fertig?

  Dr. Mark Craig : Enough.

  Dr. Donald Westphall : Mark, I'm perfectly well aware of the fact that my program's failed, all right? Now look, I had to call Jack's parents to tell them what happened. I had to put that boy on the plane back to Seattle. So, don't tell me I don't feel the responsibility.

  Dr. Mark Craig : Which is why I move to postpone any further assignments indefinitely. I mean, I'm finished sacrificing residents so that you can feel like Mother Teresa.

  [Westphall leaves the room. The other people in the room stare at him] 

  Dr. Mark Craig : Well, if I didn't say it, no one would.
