Rob Morgan Quotes

Dr. Randall Mindy I did everything I could. They won't listen.

Kate Dibiasky Surprise, surprise.

Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe I'm starting to think you just like riling people up.

Dr. Randall Mindy I'm so sorry, Kate. Really, I am.

Kate Dibiasky Oh, Randall. God. Where's Brie Evantee? Shouldn't you two be playing footsie in a restaurant that only serves cubes and foam?

Hap Jackson What good is a deed? My grandfathers and great uncles, grandmothers and great aunts, father and mother, broke, tilled, thawed, planted, plucked, raised, burned, broke again. Worked this land all they life, this land that never would be theirs. They worked until they sweated. They sweated until they bled. They bled until they died. Died with the dirt of this same 200 acres under their fingernails. Died clawing at the hard, brown back that would never be theirs. All their deeds undone. Yet this man, this place, this law... say you need a deed. Not deeds.

Hap Jackson Man who is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower and is cut down. He fleeth as a shadow and continueth not. And doth thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with thee? Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one. For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again. But man dieth and wasteth away. As the waters fell from the sea and drieth up, so man lieth down and riseth not. Til the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

President Orlean You cannot go around saying to people that there's 100% chance that they're going to die. You know? It's just nuts.
