We've established the most enormous medical entity ever conceived... and people are sicker than ever. We cure nothing! We heal nothing!

The best thing that can happen is for the theme to be nice and clear from the beginning.

You're not such a dog as you think you are.

God save us from people who do the morally right thing. It's always the rest of us who get broken in half.

Television is not the truth! Television is a goddamned amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a travelling troupe of acrobats and story-tellers, singers and dancers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion-tamers and football players. We're in the boredom-killing business!

Television will do anything for a rating... anything!

Television is not the truth. Television is a goddamned amusement park.
