Dr. White quotes from St. Elsewhere

Dr. White

We're lucky to have Auschlander around to discuss these things.

Dr. Fiscus

Yeah, it's like Marie Antoinette talking about the inner mechanism of the guillotine.

Dr. White

What I did to those people today, what you made me do to those people today was cruel. I've been trying to rationalize it all day in my head but I can't. I raped those people, is what I did. I feel like I was raped myself.

Look, mate, those are the rules of the game. If you don't like it, don't play!

Dr. White

Hey, look. Just because you made a mistake with a patient this morning, don't be carrying that around on your shoulders like that's the last mistake you'll ever make.

Dr. Chandler

Look. You don't anything about the case. You don't know anything about anything, so why don't you just shut the hell up.

Dr. White

Why don't you take it easy?

Dr. Chandler

No, you take it easy. You take it easy. You know, you're in no position to make remarks about anything around here, because you don't know anything.

Nurse Daniels

Dr. Chandler...

Dr. Chandler

You give your patients the wrong antibiotics, you don't know what medications they're on and you write the worst progress notes. You're pathetic. Pathetic! [begins to walk away] And another thing... if it weren't for everybody covering for your mistakes, you would've been gone months ago!

The only reason I ever got involved with you is because we had great sex but ever since you started going heavy into drugs, you're damaged goods.

Dr. White

You're all the same!

It took you no time to move in, Peter. It'll take you even less to move out!

Dr. Westphall

Peter, I'm well aware that you've had more problems this year than anybody deserves but I have to tell you the truth. Every time I look at your evaluation, one thing becomes more and more clear to me. You don't seem to be a very good doctor.

Dr. White

Are you telling me you're thinking of dropping me from the residency program?

Dr. Westphall

It's crossed my mind.

Dr. White

I got the news.

Dr. Westphall

Good, then we don't have anything to talk about.

Dr. White

Yes, we do. I know how good my board scores were and you know the quality of my work has been improving, yet you still torpedoed me.

Dr. Westphall

You got what you deserve.

Dr. White

Even though the jury found me innocent, you're still doling out punishment like you're above the law or something.

Dr. Westphall

What gives you the right? You're the last person on this earth I have to explain myself to.

Dr. White

I'm taking you to court, Westphall. They'll force you to give me a second year. I'll be back! I'll be back.

Dr. White

[Excited] Boomer, I finally found my kids man!

Nurse Daniels

[Disgusted] Who cares?

Dr. Morrison

Hi, Wayne.

Dr. Fiscus

Wanna bet how long it takes this three-year-old to pass a mood ring?

Dr. Morrison

Not a gambling man.

Dr. Fiscus

How about Peter? He's good at beating the odds.

Dr. White

[Morrison approaches White] Let's have a look at this skull series.

Dr. Morrison

The waters' view is clear.

Dr. White

You think Megan and Timothy have changed much?

Dr. Morrison

Probably. But they're still your kids.

Dr. White

I'm telling ya, I'm gonna put things back together with Myra.

Dr. Fiscus

Good. Then you can go up to the psych ward and tell Cathy Martin you're sorry you put her in a straight jacket.

Dr. White

Hey Fiscus, you shut up.

Dr. Fiscus

Jack, you haven't lived till you've seen Peter in action. I had the good fortune to catch his act once, and believe me, he's got a certain way with women. Unfortunately, it's a felony.

Dr. White

You know, you really oughta talk, Fiscus. There isn't a woman in this hospital you haven't hit on.

Dr. Fiscus

Took a lot of hard work, concentration, and a ski mask to get Peter where he is today. You know something for Myra's sake, I hope she's found another man.

Dr. Morrison

[Stepping in to break up the scuffle] Enough! That's enough, all right? That's enough, Peter!

Dr. Morrison

Why can't you leave him alone? Why can't everybody just leave him alone?

Dr. Fiscus

He's doing a con job on you, Jack, and I don't know why you just lie back and enjoy it.

Dr. White

What brings you down here?

Nurse Daniels

I came to see you.

Dr. White

You look different.

Nurse Daniels

[Getting seductive] Do you like it? I did it for you. [Getting closer] I've been thinking about you, Peter. A lot.

Dr. White

Wanted this for a long time.

Dr. White

Are you afraid?

Nurse Daniels

No.

Dr. White

I want you to be afraid. I want to see you afraid.

Nurse Daniels

[shoves him] Not anymore. [points gun at him]

Dr. White

Now-Now what is that for?

Nurse Daniels

It's for all of us.

Dr. White

What are you talking about?

Nurse Daniels

Is this where you raped Cathy Martin?

Dr. White

Now don't be crazy.

Nurse Daniels

You were gonna rape me, weren't you?

Dr. White

Look, you were coming on to me! I-I thought we were just having a little fun, you know.

Nurse Daniels

Like the other women had fun?

Dr. White

Now look, Shirley...

Nurse Daniels

What's the matter, Peter? Nervous?

Dr. White

Shirley..

Nurse Daniels

Now you know what it feels like. Afraid.

Dr. White

Now please, this is...

Nurse Daniels

Now, I want you to be afraid. Did you hit them? What did you make them do?

Dr. White

I didn't-I didn't...

Nurse Daniels

I don't want to hear your lies anymore.

Dr. White

I didn't touch them!

Nurse Daniels

Say it, Peter. Say it, you raped them.

Dr. White

Please.

Nurse Daniels

Say it!

Dr. White

I raped them.

Nurse Daniels

All of them?

Dr. White

No, no! No. I wanted Cathy Martin again but somebody else got her first.

Nurse Daniels

Why Cathy?

Dr. White

Because she was the best. All right, all right. Look, I'll-I'll turn myself in. Okay?

Nurse Daniels

Goodbye, Peter. [Shoots him. Walks up to the phone] Code blue. In the morgue.
