Quotes:

Megan Crowley: It's not pink.

John Crowley: [Looking at the college-aged kids hired to work under Dr. Stonehill] These guys make me feel old.::Dr. Robert Stonehill: Scientists get all sensible & careful when they get old. Young ones like risk, not afraid of new ideas... & you can pay 'em less.

Dr. Robert Stonehill: I ALREADY WORK AROUND THE CLOCK! [from trailer]

Dr. Robert Stonehill: I already work around the clock!

Aileen Crowley: If you kill your brother, you cannot have your party.

Dr. Preston: Now look, she is still a very sick girl, obviously, but her vital signs have improved and I'm cautiously optimistic.::John Crowley: [sarcastic reference to earlier conversation] So I guess you can say we dodged that blessing.

Megan Crowley: So, what do you do? You married? Do you have a wife?::Dr. Robert Stonehill: Uh, ex-wives. Two of them.::Megan Crowley: Oh yeah? How come?::Dr. Robert Stonehill: Cause I'm so easy to get along with. Any other questions?::Megan Crowley: No, your turn to ask one.::Dr. Robert Stonehill: Oh, um...::Megan Crowley: You're probably wondering what grade I'm in.::Dr. Robert Stonehill: What grade are you in?::Megan Crowley: I'm in third. My hobbies are video games and penguins. How 'bout you?::Dr. Robert Stonehill: I already graduated.::Megan Crowley: No, I mean hobbies.::Dr. Robert Stonehill: Oh uh, mostly I just work. A little bass fishing every once in a while, but... What's your favorite subject?::Megan Crowley: I'm good at reading, but I like PE best. Actually, the sprint races.::Dr. Robert Stonehill: Sprint races?

John Crowley: Where are you going?::Dr. Robert Stonehill: I'm going to go take a crap - if that meets with you fiscal approval...

John Crowley: You haven't cashed it yet!::Dr. Robert Stonehill: I haven't earned it yet.

John Crowley: [affably] Well, thank you very much for firing me.::Dr. Kent Webber: My pleasure, I never liked you.::John Crowley: Likewise.

Famous quotes by John Crowley:

"With some people I'm sure that trust has been regained, and some people are still a 'Show Me' kind of thing... I think Fletcher Allen has made a great deal of progress."

"All of the hospitals, we think, are doing well, ... And of course that's our job, to determine that they do well -- but not too well. That's what this whole process is about."

"We're seeing gangrenous legs ... people are going to lose limbs at this point. They're actually going to have to go to surgery and get them cut off."

"The state has made efforts, intensive efforts as I understand it, to get people to sign up."

"I thought the kids played their hearts out."

"They played a very up-tempo game, which is what we wanted from the beginning. This was probably the most complete game we played in about three weeks. We did a nice job overall."

"We just thought there was a real need [for the course] because wireless networks are becoming more pervasive. It's not going to teach [the students] everything they need to know about security. But it will be enough to get them started on the right road."

"A war driver drives through neighborhoods with a laptop computer looking for unprotected wireless networks [to hack into]."

"It dialed the Yellow Cab Co. in Brockton."

"The cab driver gave the officer an earring he found inside his cab right after he dropped the fare off,"

"Fundamentally, whether directing in the theatre or a film, you have to be a good storyteller, regardless of the form. The thing I had to work hardest at was thinking in shots."

"The bottom line is, it's a great script and that's very inspiring and makes you want to overcome whatever technical difficulties you come up against."

"I had very clever producers, who scheduled it brilliantly, but scheduling it was a nightmare."

"But I'm very happy to work within tight parameters, and when you know you have an actor for two days, and you have to get that work done in two days, that focuses the mind wonderfully."

"Certainly it's very difficult to keep momentum going through a film which has as many characters as this does, and the piece took on a life of its own to try and shape it. That took all the time we had in editing."
