Dr. Mark Craig : What the hell's going on?

Dr. Mark Craig : I replaced a broken vent.

Dr. John Gideon : Maybe.
Dr. Mark Craig : Definitely.
Dr. John Gideon : Fact of the matter is Weigert's invested millions into the artificial heart program. For their money they hope to gain a reputation. Public confidence. Instead, just the opposite's happened.
[as he is walking out of the bathroom]
Dr. John Gideon : Security will let you get what you need from your office.
Dr. Mark Craig : [Furious] You can't force me out.
