Quotes 

• Dr. Bill Capa : Six weeks ago, I spoke harshly to a patient and she committed suicide. Right in front of me. Perhaps she would have done this anyway. That's what my colleagues say. But I don't know.

  Sondra Dorio : Oh, I'm so sorry.

  Dr. Bill Capa : And my patient, her name was Michelle, jumped out of a window in my office.

  Clark : Oh.

  Dr. Bill Capa : So much blood. So red, and I... and right, uh, before my eyes the red, uh, disappeared. Just turned to gray, and so I don't see... red now. But, see, I was her doctor. And I failed. So I cannot help you. I don't think that you want someone like me around right now.

  Buck : I think I do.

  Richie : Me too.

  Casey Heinz : Why don't you give us a try for a month?

• Dr. Bill Capa : [about Bob's murder]  He was locking up here late Friday night.

  Sondra Dorio : Here?

  Dr. Bill Capa : Yes, right here in the office.

  Buck : Was he shot, stabbed, beaten? Have they got a suspect? A motive? Three days go by and you don't call us?

  Dr. Bill Capa : I thought it'd be easier if you heard it together.

  Casey Heinz : Oh, I see. So even Bob's death is group therapy. That's great.

  [looks skyward] 

  Casey Heinz : Hey, Bob, thanks for giving us a chance to grieve together. Shit!

• Sondra Dorio : I'm sorry. Class was really, really, really late.

  Casey Heinz : What class is that? Advanced cunnilingus for the single woman or C.P.R. for pleasure and gain?

• Casey Heinz : [Discussing bob's murder]  It wasn't a thief. I'll tell you that right now.

  Clark : I agree.

  Casey Heinz : I mean why stab a guy thirty times? Bob, he'd piss in his pants if you showed him a knife. You know that?

  Sondra Dorio : What are you saying?

  Casey Heinz : I'm saying Sondra, that you have to really hate a person to stab him that many times.

  Casey Heinz : [to Bill]  You're a shrink, right? You know what kind of power people hand over to shrinks. Well, maybe sometimes they hand over more than they want too!

  Clark : That is absolutely correct. A thief would not stick around to stab someone thirty times!

  Buck : Since when did you become such an expert on robbery?

  Sondra Dorio : It's not the robbery he's an expert on. It's the rage!
