Storyline

- Quotes
Adrian Mercer: Abby just quoted from the very music you cited as contributing to a brutal murder. Now, you're not really saying that music can kill, are you?
Dr. R. Quincy, M.E.: Yes, I am. I believe that the music I heard is a killer. It's a killer of hope, it's a killer of spirit. The music I heard said that life was cheap, and that murder and suicide was OK.
Dr. Emily Hanover: Music can be a very powerful thing. Nothing galvanises the emotions as quickly.
Adrian Mercer: You wrote the lyrics in question, Fly. You take issue with any of this?
Fly Fester: Hell yes! You know why you people can't stomach our songs? 'Cos they're a mirror, dig? Our music's ugly and violent because that's what's outside my window when I wake up. The world's ugly, the world's violent. All we do is rub your noses in it, you don't like what you see. Well don't lay it on us.
Dr. R. Quincy, M.E.: You're right about one thing: there is too much ugliness and violence out there. But if we took your advice we'd never overcome it - all you want us to do is throw up our hands and give up.
Skip: Who got us where we are today? It was your generation. Now you people have your finger on the button, ready to blow the whole joint to bits, and you're telling us to cool it?
Dr. R. Quincy, M.E.: You know, not so many years ago there was a generation of young people who were as mad as you are about the world. Only they worked their tails off to change it. Trying to end a war they didn't believe in, trying to correct injustices that they saw. But all you do is gripe. Has it ever occurred to you to do something else with your anger besides venting it?
Skip: You're the ones who loused everything up - and you expect us to pick up the pieces.
Dr. R. Quincy, M.E.: If not you - then who?
- ConnectionsEdited into Cathode Fuck (1986)
A punk rock band is playing at a club full of punk rock fans. Some slam dancing ends up with one celebrant getting an ice pick in the neck. He ends up on Quincy's autopsy table, and the cause of death should be easy to determine. But no, Quincy has to put punk rock as contributing to death on the death certificate. Try collecting on life insurance with THAT death certificate! But I digress.
The funniest part has to be when Quincy squares off in a debate with some punk rockers. Just like in some of the 1960s episodes of Dragnet, this debate answers the question - what would teenagers sound like if 50 year olds tried to sound like teenagers?
Ray Danton directed this episode, which outdoes his starring turn in "The George Raft Story" as the worst thing he ever did.
