Quotes 

• 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.
