The Challenges of Being a Doctor

Hey, thumb-dick, I was a damn good shrink. In sixteen and a half years I worked with a lot of people through a lot of shit. Okay, I slept with a patient or two. It's not like I didn't care about em.
Mike Church
Okay.
Cozy Carlisle
I loved being a doctor. I used to not charge half my patients. Then the fuckin state comes along, they send some bitch undercover, and I'm fucked. It ain't fair, is it?

Symbol of Eternal Connection
Roman Strauss
It's not a bracelet, darling. It's an anklet, a very special anklet. Let's have your leg. It's really very old. The man I bought it from explained to me that when a husband gives this to his wife — they become — two halves of the same person. Nothing can — separate them. Not even death.
Margaret Strauss
So we're stuck with each other.

The Cosmic Force of Karmic Retribution
Dr. Cozy Carlisle
Thanks to fate — the only cosmic force with a tragic sense of humor — you burn somebody in one life, they get a chance to burn you back in this one. It's the karmic credit plan: buy now, pay forever.

The Freedom of Living in the Present
Grace
Why is it that I can recognize certain smells, that I know my right hand from my left, but I can't remember what my favorite color is or my favorite flower or — what kind of wine I like.
Mike Church
Maybe you're lucky.
Grace
Lucky? How so?
Mike Church
You know, I was just thinking there must be a certain freedom that goes with living only in the present tense. At least you don't have to spend every day trying to forget your past.

Exploring Gender Fluidity Across Lifetimes
Dr. Cozy Carlisle

Commitment to Identity: Smoking Choices
Cozy Carlisle
Someone's either a smoker or a nonsmoker. There's no in-between. The trick is to find out which one you are and be that.
Mike Church
Yeah, well, you know, I'm — I'm trying to quit. So...
Cozy Carlisle
Don't tell me you're trying to quit. People who say they are trying to quit are basically pussies who cannot commit. Find out which one you are. Be that. That's it. If you're a nonsmoker, you'll know.
