Quotes13

  • [first lines]
  • Nelson Wright: Today is a good day to die.
  • Nelson Wright: You bring the equipment, I'll bring my balls.
  • Nelson Wright: Hello, I'm nice, he's nice, we're both fucking lunatics. Can I come in, please?
  • Nelson Wright: When my body temperature hits 86 degrees, you're going to hit me with 200 Joules. The electric current will stop my heart. When the heart is dead, take the mask off... I'm going to draw 20 ccs. You handle the injections. When the EEG flatlines, the brain is dead. I'll be exploring. Give me 30 seconds. Flip the blanket on to 'warm.' Take me up to 93 degrees slowly. Inject 1 cc of Adrenaline, and at one minute, Joe, you come in with the defibs. And you bring me back to life.
  • Rachel: [entering room] With brain damage. Resembling in many ways a cabbage patch doll.
  • Nelson Wright: Everything matters, everything we do matters.
  • David Labraccio: He said... he said it wasn't such a good day to die.
  • Nelson Wright: Thank you.
  • Nelson Wright: Somehow we've brought our sins back physically. And they're pissed.
  • Nelson Wright: Philosophy failed. Religion failed. Now it's up to the physical sciences.
  • Nelson Wright: Hey, Dave! What if it works?
  • Nelson Wright: C'mon, Billy Mahoney. C'mon... Gimme your best shot. I dare ya. I fuckin' dare ya.
  • Nelson Wright: Wake up, you little shit, you got company!
  • David Labraccio: You should have told us, Nelson.
  • Nelson Wright: You wouldn't have done it.
  • David Labraccio: At least we would've had a choice!
  • Nelson Wright: Our sins have come back in a physical form... and they're pissed.
