William Daniels: Dr. Mark Craig

Quotes 

• Dr. Mark Craig : Donald told me about the diagnosis. It's a damned tough break.

  Dr. Robert Caldwell : Stiff upper lip, right?

  Dr. Mark Craig : What's this I hear about you staying?

  Dr. Robert Caldwell : Gonna work until I can't.

  Dr. Mark Craig : Are you out of your mind? Have you had your teeth cleaned lately? Dentists are wearing masks and gloves. Nobody's fooling around with this thing.

  Dr. Robert Caldwell : What am I supposed to do, fold the tent, and walk away?

  Dr. Mark Craig : Everybody you touch will have to be told.

  Dr. Robert Caldwell : My medical status is confidential.

  Dr. Mark Craig : In this place, are you kidding? When the word gets out, we'll be able to fire a cannon down the hall without hitting a patient. Bobby, I don't take any pleasure asking you to leave. I brought you up here from Duke myself. But for crying out loud. What's it been, two years? Never knew you were a fag.

  Dr. Robert Caldwell : I'm not.

  Dr. Mark Craig : It doesn't make any difference. You're still out.

  Dr. Robert Caldwell : Understand something, you little bastard. I'm the one who'll decide when it's time to leave this hospital. Not you.
