- Luther Hawkins: Excuse me, Dr. Craig.
- Dr. Mark Craig: Yeah?
- Luther Hawkins: We lost one of your patients, Florence Hufnagel.
- Dr. Mark Craig: Where is she?
- Luther Hawkins: In here, on her way to the morgue.
- Dr. Mark Craig: What happened?
- Luther Hawkins: Cardiac arrest.
- Dr. Mark Craig: Why haven't her test results been charted? We have ward clerks up the wazoo, but you can't get a simple blood test back from the lab before high noon.
- Luther Hawkins: Well, the doctors didn't seem to know what caused the heart attack. Though my guess is it was brought on by the bed.
- Dr. Donald Westphall: The bed, what bed?
- Luther Hawkins: Well, Miss Hufnagel was found... Well, she had been swallowed up by the bed.
- Dr. Mark Craig: [Auschlander laughs as all four exit the elevator] I don't think it's so damn funny.
- Dr. Daniel Auschlander: I'm not laughing, I'm really not. It's tragic.
- Dr. Mark Craig: Wait till the hospital gets slapped with a lawsuit for shoddy equipment.
- Nurse Shirley Daniels: Take my word, Ehrlich, the scar's right where you left it.
- Dr. Victor Ehrlich: Hey babe, please. I'm the medico here, okay?
- [Trying to look at Shirley's scar]
- Dr. Victor Ehrlich: So let's undo mister bow, pull the gown back, and take a peak.
- Nurse Shirley Daniels: Your hands are cold.
- Dr. Victor Ehrlich: Yes, but my smile is warm.
- Nurse Shirley Daniels: [Grabs Ehrlich's hand and shoves it] And the traverse stops here.
- Dr. Victor Ehrlich: Easy. I know it's not the cleanest appendectomy of the New Year, but consider the incredible pressure I was under. You, a demented killer, we almost dated once. I have great difficulty excising a vestigial organ, knowing that right around the bend, it's a cervical us. Trust me, Citizen Kane's dying thought wasn't a fond remembrance of a childhood sled, okay?
- Nurse Shirley Daniels: I don't mind the scar. Besides, I'm not planning on logging any bikini time for a while.
- Dr. Victor Ehrlich: Surely they won't send you to prison. Will they, Shirley?
- Nurse Shirley Daniels: Eventually. Until then, I got to find a job.
- Dr. Victor Ehrlich: Okay, embroider pillows. It's a growing cottage industry, you're home alone, no one gets hurt.
- Nurse Shirley Daniels: My lawyer scheduled a meeting with Auschlander, trying to get me reinstated in emergency.
- Dr. Victor Ehrlich: If you need a character reference, let me know. Despite what anybody may have told you, I've always been in your corner.
- Nurse Shirley Daniels: I know your heart's in the right place. So was Peter White's.
- Dr. Victor Ehrlich: I got to go.
- Nurse Shirley Daniels: Cause if it wasn't, I'd have had to pull a trigger a third time, and blast a hole through his skull.
- Dr. Victor Ehrlich: [Coughing] I got to go. I'll talk to you.
- Nurse Shirley Daniels: [after disarming gun at Boomer, leaving the hospital] Can anyone around here take a joke?
