“I shall personally see to it, that the demented slime-breath little Lilliputian who owns this disgusting ribbon, shall never see the light of day again!”

“There’s glass between us!”

“Listen, you fuckers, you screwheads. Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the cunts, the dogs, the filth, the shit. Here is a man who stood up.”

“I can't be your wife, Newland! Is it your idea that I should live with you as your mistress?”

“Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance.

“There's more vodka in this piss than there is piss!”

“I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid.”

“You taught me everything”

A brief look at Medical Specialities

WARNING: For the sake of my ethical requirements as a daughter of doctors, a medical student and a future player in this field, take my following analysis in jest. I don’t really mean what I say. It’s all for fun, folks.
