Memorable Quotes from Anne Heche
12 quotesConsequences of a Mistaken Identity
Beth Eastern
Sheriff, the day you and Tony left Penang, a man came looking for a bike you guys had rented. He brought the police. Only they didn't find the bike, but they did find 104 grams of hashish, some stashed in the hut, some in the trash.
John "Sheriff" Volgecherev
Jesus Christ. And Lewis caught hell for that, huh?
Beth
Yeah. He's spent the last two years in prison.
Sheriff
Oh, my God. Jesus Christ. What a nightmare that must be, huh? Is he still in prison now?
Beth
For eight more days, yeah.
Sheriff
I wish I'd have known sooner. I don't know if I could have done anything but... At least he's getting out in eight days though, huh?
Beth
That's not the case. Anybody found with more than 100 grams of hashish is considered to be trafficking.
Sheriff
Trafficking? What is that, like, dealing?
Beth
Sheriff, in order for Lewis not to be considered a dealer, you and Tony have to fly back to Penang and accept your share of the responsibility.
Sheriff
And what about me and Tony? What happens to us?
Beth
The deal was that if both of you go back, it's three years apiece, and if only one of you goes back, it's six.
Sheriff
Wait. Hold on. It's three? It's six? Finish that sentence for me please. You're talking about three years in prison. Six years in prison.
Beth
Let me make this clear to you. In Malaysia, dealers get death.
Sheriff
Jesus Christ, for a shitty brick of hash? So, you're telling me, that in eight days from right now...
Beth
Lewis McBride is going to hang.

Marion Crane
Oh, we can see each other. We can even have dinner but respectably in my house with my mother's picture on the mantel and my sister helping me broil a big steak for three.

Misfiled Paperwork Causes Delays in Medical Appeal
Rebecca Payne
No, no, no. This is an appeal. An appeal is for an already existing claim. What you needed to file was a grievance. You filed the wrong paperwork.
John Q. Archibald
Wait a minute...
Rebecca Payne
You're gonna have to resubmit. It could take up to 30 days.
John Q. Archibald
Look, I don't have 30 days.
[frustrated]
Rebecca Payne
I know you don't.
John Q. Archibald
And quite frankly, I'm getting sick of the runaround. Now what I need is my son's name...
Rebecca Payne
Mr. Archibald, your account is in access of $30,000. The hospital has bent over backwards to help you out.
John Q. Archibald
Is that right?
Rebecca Payne
Yes! It is right. But there's a limit to our generosity. Once and for all, your insurance does not cover this.

Amy Cain
But there isn't a B-3 bomber.
Conrad Brean
Where'd you go to school, kid? Wellesly?
Cain
Dartmouth.
Brean
Then show a little spunk. There Is no B-3 Bomber. General Scott, the best of your knowledge, is not in Seattle to talk with Boeing...
Winifred Ames
It won't hold, Connie, it won't prove out.
Brean
We don't need it to prove out. We've got less than two weeks till the election, so we just need to distract them.
Ames
What on Earth would do that?
Brean
Well, I'm working on that.

Thank you, Norman.
Marion Crane
Norman.

Marion Crane
Wouldn't it be better if you... if you... put her someplace?
Norman Bates
Do you mean an institution? A madhouse? People always call a madhouse "someplace", don't they? "Put her in someplace.
Marion Crane
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it to sound uncaring. I...
Norman Bates
What do you know about caring? Have you ever seen the inside of one those places? The laughing and the tears, and the cruel eyes studying you. My mother in there? But she's harmless. She's as harmless as one of these stuffed birds.
Marion Crane
I am sorry. I only felt... I...
Norman Bates
You felt what?
Marion Crane
It seems that she was... she's hurting you. I meant well.
Norman Bates
People always mean well. They cluck their thick tongues and they shake their heads and they suggest, oh, so very delicately... Of course, I've suggested it myself.

Healthcare Crisis and Consequences of Inaction
Rebecca Payne
If you give in to this guy, there's gonna be guns in every hospital in the country. What, you think Mr. Archibald's the only one who has a sick child? Have you checked out the HIV ward? There's a whole floor full. People get sick, they die. That's the way it goes. I'm faced with decisions like this every single day.
Chief Gus Monroe
The fact remains, though, that there's a man threatening to kill innocent people because you refuse to help a son.
Rebecca Payne
The fact is that there are 50 million people in this country without medical insurance. If you like to change it, you should call your congressman.
