St. Elsewhere · Season 3, Episode 8

Dr. Caldwell and Dr. Ehrlich in “Sweet Dreams”

Dr. Caldwell

This is our last operation together, Victor. I don't want you to assist me anymore.

Dr. Ehrlich

What?

Dr. Caldwell

Look, you're a good surgeon, but ever since I came here, you've been nothing but bad jokes.

Dr. Ehrlich

What do you mean, bad jokes?

Dr. Caldwell

Remember your line about Helen Rosenthal and fun bags?

Dr. Ehrlich

Yeah, that...

Dr. Caldwell

When you're not insensitive, you're offensive. So I have just one suggestion to make. Why don't you do all of mankind a favor? Quit medicine. Take up your true calling, professional phony.

Dr. Ehrlich

Come on, Bob, why do...

Dr. Caldwell

Read my mask, pal. You're out of here.

[Caldwell walks away back to the surgery]

Dr. Ehrlich

All I said was you drink your bath water.
