Luther Hawkins quotes from St. Elsewhere

Luther Hawkins

Look, the only needle I wanna see is on my stereo. At home. Which is where I'm headed.

[while being restrained by several medics] Satan's in my throat, he's reaching for my soul!

Luther Hawkins

This guy doesn't need a doctor, he needs an exorcist.

[Annoyed that Luther is looking at him hammering the window] What are you waiting for, a tip?

Luther Hawkins

Not anymore.

Dr. Ehrlich

Fine, so, where'd you put the happy couple?

Luther Hawkins

Oh, up in the fifth floor, in Dr. Craig's office.

Dr. Ehrlich

[Shocked] Are you crazy?

Luther Hawkins

What, just relax, take it easy. Dr. Craig is out of town, the walls are thick, and the office is private, just trust me, everything will be fine.

Dr. Ehrlich

[Mortified] Trust you, fine, thick walls, this man's insane, my career's on the line.

Luther Hawkins

Excuse me, Dr. Craig.

Yeah?

Luther Hawkins

We lost one of your patients, Florence Hufnagel.

Where is she?

Luther Hawkins

In here, on her way to the morgue.

What happened?

Luther Hawkins

Cardiac arrest.

Why haven't her test results been charted? We have ward clerks up the wazoo, but you can't get a simple blood test back from the lab before high noon?

Luther Hawkins

Well, the doctors didn't seem to know what caused the heart attack. Though my guess is it was brought on by the bed.

Dr. Westphall

The bed, what bed?

Luther Hawkins

Well, Miss Hufnagel was found... Well, she had been swallowed up by the bed.

[Auschlander laughs as all four exit the elevator] I don't think it's so damn funny.

I'm not laughing, I'm really not. It's tragic.

Wait till the hospital gets slapped with a lawsuit for shoddy equipment.
