Richard Dreyfuss in Whose Life Is It Anyway? (1981)

Quotes

Whose Life Is It Anyway?

Edit
  • Ken Harrison: I better be nice to this woman. Otherwise, the good doctor will dissolve her in water and inject her into me.
  • Ken Harrison: I admit that it's embarrassing for a man to compliment a woman on her breasts when only one of them is in bed. One of the people, that is. Not one of the breasts.
  • Ken Harrison: Some nurses and I went out for a little midnight skateboarding last night. The only trouble was that I was the skateboard.
  • Ken Harrison: How does a quadriplegic cross the road? He was stapled to a chicken.
  • Ken Harrison: Hello, I was just practicing lying here.
  • Ken Harrison: [about the nurse who accidentally let him fall out of the bed] It wasn't her fault. It wasn't her fault. It was an accident!
  • Ken Harrison: [shouting] You still have nice breasts!
  • Dr. Clare Scott: [embarrassed as everybody laughs of Ken's remark] Thank you!
  • Dr. Clare Scott: Pat, uh, I could really use your advice. I'm... I'm looking for some possible way to help out Ken Harrison. Some way to get through to him.
  • Pat: You mean the Late Ken Harrison.
  • Dr. Clare Scott: Wh... what do you mean? I mean he's not...
  • Pat: Yes he is. He may not be to you but he is to me and to himself. Understand me doctor, I loved the late Ken Harrison and I grieve for his death but...
  • Dr. Clare Scott: I'm, I'm sorry I don't understand this. I can't believe you're just giving up on him like this.
  • Pat: Giving up. Ken Harrison is gone.You wanna see Ken, look around you. Take a better look.
  • Ken Harrison: You know, I am filled with an absolute sense of outrage that you, who have no knowledge of me whatsoever, have the power to condemn me to a life of torment because you cannot see the pain. There's no blood, there's no screaming. So you can't see it? Your Honor, if you saw a mutilated animal on the side of the road, you'd shoot it. Now, I am only asking for the same mercy that you'd show that animal. And I'm not asking anyone to commit an act of violence. Just take me somewhere and leave me. And if you don't... .. If you don't, then you come back here in five years and you see what a piece of work that you've done here today.
  • Dr. Michael Emerson: You'll be fine.
  • Ken Harrison: [sarcastically] Are you kidding?
  • Ken Harrison: [about the crowd in his room] This must be Grand Central Station!
