Misunderstanding About Quicksand and Its Dangers
Shane Falco:
Quicksand.
Clifford Franklin:
Oh, shit, Shane! Hey, quicksand's a scary mother, man. I mean, first of all, they suck you right in, and even if you scream, you get all that muck in your mouth–
Coach McGinty:
That's not what he meant, Franklin.
Franklin:
What?
McGinty:
That's not what he meant.
Franklin:
Well, what're you talking about there, coach?
McGinty:
Well, why don't you ask him.
Franklin: [Turns to Falco]
Hey, what's up, Shane?
Falco: [everybody stays silent]
You're playing and you think everything is going fine. Then one thing goes wrong. And then another. And another. You try to fight back, but the harder you fight, the deeper you sink, until you can't move... you can't breathe... because you're in over your head. Like quicksand.
Action Jackson:
That's deep shit, Shane. That's some deep shit!
McGinty:
Anything else you're afraid of?
Franklin:
...Going back to the mini-mart.
Jumbo Fumiko:
Shipping yard.
Walter Cochran:
The auto plant.
Earl Wilkinson: [pointedly]
Prison.
McGinty: [players cheer]
Yeah, all right. The truth is you guys have been given something that every athlete dreams of... A second chance. And you're afraid of blowing it. We all are, but now our fear is shared, and we can overcome it together. Let's lose that fear this Sunday and put it into San Diego!

Questioning Medical Oversights in Child's Health
John Q. Archibald:
You know, what I don't understand is why they never found it, the doctors. My son has had clean checkups every year since the day he was born. How could the doctors not pick it up?
Dr. Turner:
He might not have been tested thoroughly enough.
John Q. Archibald:
Why not?
Steve Maguire: [[w:Health maintenance organization|HMO]
You got an ], right?
John Q. Archibald:
Yeah.
Steve Maguire: [points to Dr. Turner]
Well, there's your answer. I mean, HMO's pay their doctors not to test. It's their way of keeping costs down. Now, let's say Michael did need additional testing and insurance says they won't cover them. The doctor keeps his mouth shut, and come Christmas, The HMO sends the doctor a fat-ass bonus cheque.
John Q. Archibald: [to Dr. Turner]
Is that true?
Dr. Turner:
Possible. Not likely, but possible.
John Q. Archibald:
You telling me that these doctors may have known what was wrong with my son and they could have treated him all along?
Dr. Turner:
Who knows? I don't know.
Lester Matthews:
Don't take this personal, Doc. But, y'all bunch a goddamn crooks.
Dr. Turner:
You don't know what you're talking about.
Julie Byrd:
What about that thing that you guys take?
Dr. Turner:
The thing?
Julie Byrd:
Yeah, that promise. What do they call it?
Steve Smith: [[w:Hippocratic Oath|Hippocratic Oath]
It's called the ].
Lester Matthews:
More like the hypocritical oath'. How's it go, Doc? "I solemnly swear to take care of the sick and damn-near-dying, unless they ain't got major medical." Something like that?
Dr. Turner:
You've got it perfectly, that's it.
Steve Maguire:
It's funny, but it's not that far from the truth, okay?! This shit happens all the time! Paramedics bring in some accident victim and when the big boys in Accounting find out they can't pay, they send them packing.
Julie Byrd:
Hospitals can't turn people away!
Steve Smith:
Isn't there laws against that?
Steve Maguire: [to Dr. Turner]
Yeah, there's laws! But there's also ways around those laws. The only thing we have to do is stabilise them. And after that, we're off the hook and you know it.
Dr. Turner:
That's not how it works.
Steve Maguire:
That's exactly how it works! Maybe, not up there on the fifth floor. But in here, if you don't have any money, you get a Band-Aid, a foot in the ass and you're out the door!
Dr. Turner: [points at John]
Shut up. Enough already! I've heard all the bitching and moaning I can stand for one day, alright? Look, if you want to regard me as some kind of blood-sucking vampire, then fine, great, I'll be the bad guy. But who's holding the fucking gun?
