Quotes
Dr. E.W. Hostetler: Books, every few days I have to tell a man or a woman something I don't want to. I've been practicing medicine for 29 years, and I still don't know how to do it well.
John Bernard Books: Why don't you just say it flat out?
Dr. E.W. Hostetler: All right. You have a cancer - advanced. Is that what that fella up in Creed told you?
John Bernard Books: Yeah.
Dr. E.W. Hostetler: And you didn't believe him.
John Bernard Books: No.
Dr. E.W. Hostetler: Do you believe me?

(from internet transcript)
David Gurney: Darling, i am in no mood for jokes.
Wilma: You get out of here.
David Gurney: Wilma wilma?
Wilma: How do you know my name?
David Gurney: It's on the marriage certificate. Remember?
Wilma: Mister, i've never seen you before in all my life.
Narrator: Cameo of a man who has just lost his most valuable possession. He doesn't know it yet. In fact, he doesn't even know about the possession- because, like most people, david gurney has never really thought about the matter of his identity. But he's going to be thinking about it a great deal from now on because that is what he's lost and his search for it is going to take him into the darkest corners of the twilight zone.
Wilma: Now, look, whoever you are, i don't want any trouble, but if you don't leave i'm going to call the police.
David Gurney: Call the police. Call the fire department. Tell them to bring an oxygen mask. There is a man dying.
Wilma: I'm not bluffing. If you don't get out of here by the time i count five, i'll call them.
David Gurney: Oh, come on! Cut it out, will you? One i am not amused!

The Ragged Tiger
DURAN DURAN LYRICS
"The Reflex"
"You've gone too far this time"
But I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the dangerline
I'll cross that bridge when I find it
Another day to make my stand
High time is no time for deciding
If I should find a helping hand
[CHORUS]
So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is an only child he's waiting in the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark
I'm on a ride and I want to get off
But they won't slow down the roundabout
I sold the Renoir and the TV set
Don't want to be around when this gets out
[CHORUS]
Oh the reflex what a game he's hiding all the cards
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Evey little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark
