Return to Paradise - Consequences 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.

John Q - 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.

John Q - 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: [frustrated]
Look, I don't have 30 days.
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.

Psycho - The Complexity of Care and Confinement
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: [calms down]
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.

Psycho - A Lunch Break Conversation
Sam Loomis:
You never did eat your lunch, did you?
Marion Crane:
I better get back to the office. These extended lunch hours give my boss excess acid.
Sam Loomis:
Why don't you call your boss and tell him you're taking the rest of the afternoon off? It's Friday, anyway - and hot.
Marion Crane:
What do I do with my free afternoon? Walk you to the airport?

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.
