- Susan: [to the cameraman] Forget the script, I'll just make something up. Susan Waterman on the street live on Mana 19th, where a woman is on the ledge.
- [looks up]
- Susan: My God. I need to get upstairs.
- Police Officer: No, no.
- Susan: Listen, I need to go upstairs, that's my sister! I need to go upstairs, my sister's up there, that's my sister!
- [she jumps]
- Susan: Oh my God!
- Susan: So you really care about them, it's not just some TV shtick.
- Mitchell: No, I really do. If my show can possibly save one person from dying, or a junkie to think about turning his life around, that makes all this TV BS worth it.
- Susan: You know, I used to call you Dr. Hugs.
- Mitchell: Dr. Hugs? Well, I've been called worse.
- Mitchell: Susan, you shouldn't have done that, but you just had to snoop, didn't you? Well, you are who you are, and I am who I am. There's a certain thrill to leaving evidence in plain sight, living in the moment to moment, the possibilities of getting caught.
- Susan: You killed them, you killed all of them.
- Mitchell: Well, the network coming on, I basically had to clean up some loose ends.
- Susan: Loose ends? They were people.
- Mitchell: Susan,
- [rolls up pants leg showing track marks]
- Mitchell: I have been an addict for 20 years, the girls were supplying me, Carrie too,
- Susan: You're crazy.
- Mitchell: No no no, actually I'm the clinical definition of a sociopath: no emotion, no feeling, but I fake it quite well, don't I?
- Det. Kelso: Dr. Mitch in prime time? My teen daughter will be happy, she skipped class to watch his DNA testing of teenage fathers.
- Susan: At least someone's happy.
- Susan: So what is this I hear about you not wanting me back?
- Ms. Larson: It's only been a week since your sister's...
- Susan: Suicide? You can say it, Aaron, I'm not 12.
- Ms. Larson: I was going to say took her own life.
- Susan: I want to get back to work.
- Ms. Larson: You have another week, take it, just take the week.
- Susan: I'm fine, really, okay? Just put me back out there.
- Ms. Larson: Susan, you don't understand.
- Susan: Look, I really appreciate...
- Ms. Larson: Susan, you don't understand, they gave up our time slot.
- Susan: What?
- Ms. Larson: Dr. Mitch goes prime time and On the Street now is on indefinite hiatus.
- Susan: You gotta be kidding me. Come on, our stories are about the truth.
- Ms. Larson: The audience doesn't want the truth, Susan, they want this made up reality 'Dr. Mitch' what 'Dr. Hugs' stuff.
- Susan: Okay, so what happens to us?
- Ms. Larson: You're not gonna like it.
- Susan: What?
- Ms. Larson: Human interest stand-ups for the five o' clock news.
- Susan: No way, Aaron, I'm not reporting on some flower festival.
- Ms. Larson: Listen, Dr. Mitch is a fad, I just need a couple months of human interest stand-ups and we're gonna see where the dust settles, okay?
- Susan: What, so you want me to just report from some high school jamboree?
- Ms. Larson: Susan, I'm not asking you.
- Gina - Jogger 1: I love your show, Dr. Mitch.
- Mitchell: Thank you.
- Elana - Jogger 2: You saved my marriage, Dr. Mitch, but I'd leave him for you.
- Mitchell: [laughs] Stay with him, he's a lucky man.
- Susan: I didn't realize you had so many fans.
- Mitchell: Ouch.
- Susan: I didn't mean it like that. So how'd you become Dr. Mitch?
- Mitchell: Well there was this woman.
- Susan: I'm guessing it didn't end well.
- Mitchell: Very perceptive. No, I just wanted a nice, normal marriage, she just wanted to play games. She OD'd the morning of our wedding.
- Susan: Wow. My husband died 5 years ago. He was a cop.
- Mitchell: You just have to try to look for those small moments of ecstasy during the day so that the pain doesn't consume you.
- Susan: It's a work in progress.
- Mitchell: Yeah well, we got that in common.
- Susan: That and ratings.
