William Daniels: Dr. Mark Craig

Quotes 

• Dr. Mark Craig : Dr. Domedion, I say this from the bottom of my heart, these years spent watching you have been an inspiration.

  Dr. David Domedion : Can the histrionics, Craig. You've been pandering me for four years. Your internship's over, so clam up.

  Dr. Mark Craig : You're right, sir. Foolish of me to think that I could pull the wool over the eyes of a man with such vision.

• Dr. David Domedion : What the hell is going on?

  Dr. Mark Craig : Four years I've looked up to you. I've watched your every move, I tried to emulate your techniques. I've looked forward to this day all my life and now I wish it had never arrived.

  Dr. David Domedion : Well, that's just too bad because here it is. Now, Mr. Kellogg is in there relying on you to save his life. This is no time to turn into a bonehead.

  Dr. Mark Craig : I'm a failure. Oh, Lord, how will I tell my father?

  Dr. David Domedion : Listen, I have not invested four years in you for nothing. You may be arrogant, self-centered, and opinionated, but you're never a failure until you stop trying! Besides, how do you think you look to those interns up in the gallery?

  [Craig walks up to the gallery] 

  Dr. David Domedion : Pathetic. Like you don't have any.

  Dr. Mark Craig : I'll do the operation.

  Dr. David Domedion : Oh, goody.

• [It is 1955 and Drs. Craig and Westphall are discussing their future prospects as they complete their internship] 

  Dr. Mark Craig : Did you know Ellen is pregnant?

  Dr. Donald Westphall : No! Terrific - congratulations!

  Dr. Mark Craig : [looking at his watch]  In 58 minutes she and I are meeting a real estate agent to look at houses in Lincoln. I'm anxious to move to the suburbs now that we're expecting a new arrival.

  Dr. Donald Westphall : What are you hoping for?

  Dr. Mark Craig : What else? Two-storey colonial.
