Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Dr. Mackenzie : I would get a job if I was you.

  Rabbie Burns : A job?

  Dr. Mackenzie : Aye, an undertaking or an appointment with a future profit, even of a trifling or temporary nature.

  Rabbie Burns : I don't know about that.

  Dr. Mackenzie : Well I can't keep you in the program any more, Rabbie. You're a 100% successful remission. You know, you are my pride and joy, Rabbie.

  Rabbie Burns : Well I don't feel too grand at the moment.

  Dr. Mackenzie : Are you hearing the voices again?

  Rabbie Burns : N-no.

  Dr. Mackenzie : You taken your pills today?

  Rabbie Burns : Religiously.

  Dr. Mackenzie : Well you can throw them away, because they're placebos.

  Rabbie Burns : Eh, come again?

  Dr. Mackenzie : Placebos, Rabbie. A medicine given to humor or gratify a patient, without having to exercise any curative effects. In a word, rubbish.

  Rabbie Burns : I thought I was feeling a bit less ship shape.

  Dr. Mackenzie : It's in your head Rabbie. That's what you've had for the last 21 days. Off the drugs and no relapses. It's all in the mind!

  Rabbie Burns : So that's it then.

  Dr. Mackenzie : That's it Rabbie! I've got to be going, your the last appointment of the week. Now have a good Sabbath. Go forth and do not multiply. Come and see me in three weeks time. Here's my office number if you need me before that. After hours leave a message. I *can* be there in an emergency. Anything short of an emergency and the wrath of God will descend upon in terrible and consuming fury!
