- Dr. John Gideon: [Moments after unplugging the radio] I've been waiting for an autopsy report since 6:30, but forget about that. And forget we have patients upstairs who might hear this. Let's focus on one thing. The morgue is a room for dead people who deserve respect and reverence, not rock and roll. Do you understand me?
- Dr. Wayne Fiscus: Yes, sir.
- Dr. Jacqueline Wade: It's Wayne's birthday.
- Dr. John Gideon: Stay out of this, doctor. I could've fired you the very first day when you lied about the AIDS baby, but I thought you were a good doctor. Start behaving like a professional or find yourself another stage.
- [after lecturing Fiscus and glaring at Wade]
- Dr. John Gideon: I'm going to the cafeteria. I want that report on my desk in 20 minutes.
