Linda: (to a patient) Oh, they're sending you up for and MRI. Hope you're not claustrophobic. 'Cause, you know, they slide you into this long, dark tube, and you can't move. It's like, the walls are closing in, and then, there's this horrible, deafening, pounding noise, and you scream, and you scream but nobody can hear you. And then you wonder, 'what if there's a power failure, and I get stuck in here?!' It's like that movie where that guy was buried alive. What was that called? Oh, right! Buried Alive! And then, there's Buried Alive 2! How many movies must these people make before people learn?
Margaret: Linda, I'll finish up here. Why don't you go find something else to do?
Linda: Okay. (to the patient) Hope you make it.
Margaret: Mr. Lyles, relax. An MRI is nothing to be afraid of. (quietly) But you sure won't catch me in one.

Linda: (to Margaret) The important thing is that you were nice to someone. And, lucky you, they died.

Linda: (whispering) Dr. Becker, do you need any help?
Dr. John Becker: (whispers) No.
Linda: (still whispering) Are you sure?
Dr. John Becker: (whispers) Yes.
Patient: Oh, no. I am going deaf! I can hardly hear either one of you!
Dr. John Becker: That's because we were whispering.
Patient: What don't you want me to know?

Linda: Geez, who died?
Mr. Garland: Nobody!

Linda: I'm telling you, Dr. Becker. That woman was definitely checking you out.
Dr. John Becker: No, she wasn't.
Linda: Deny it all you want, but I'm telling you she was looking.
Dr. John Becker: Really?
Linda: Oh, yeah.
Dr. John Becker: Huh.
Linda: She had to be about 80, but she was definitely interested.
Dr. John Becker: Oh. Yeah. That one.

Linda: It's like I always say. Well, I don't always say it, but I have said it, so I guess technically that I sometimes say it. Which means I say it pretty often. Which brings up an interesting point: is it "off-in" or "off-ten?"

Linda: Okay, here's the thing--
Dr. John Becker: No no no NO MORE THINGS!

Linda: She can help out. She can do half my work.
Margaret: Doing half your work is what you do.

Linda: Think about it: you could come back rich.
Margaret: If I come back rich, I'm not coming back.

Linda: I was right. He's [Becker's] a junkie.
Dr. John Becker: Who the hell is this?
Linda Oops. Wrong number.

Linda: OK Here's the thing...
Dr. John Becker: Aw come on Linda, no THINGS!

Linda: Someday you'll look back on this and laugh.
Dr. John Becker: Maybe I will. But before then, I will kill you. And then I'll use my powers as a physician to bring you back to life. And then, I will kill you again.

Linda: You had motive, you had opportunity, and let's not forget yesterday you said you wanted to kill him.
Dr. John Becker: If I was capable of killing someone would you still be alive?
[Becker walks into the back]
Linda: [to Margaret] He didn't do it.

Linda: You know, yelling doesn't solve anything!
Dr. John Becker: OH, YES IT DOES! IT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER!

Locksmith: I smashed my hand!
Dr. John Becker: Oh, why does everything happen to me?
