Quotes of Movie: "Becker" [1998]
|
So someone finally shot you. Dr. John Becker: I always thought it would be you, Margaret. Margaret: So did I. Jake, you've got to see this. Jake Malinak: I'm blind. Did anyone watch the news last night? Jake Malinak: Well, I don't really... Dr. John Becker: Rhetorical question, stay with me, Jake. So they're doing a story about violence in America. And while they are interviewing a bloated senator from one of our great trailer park states, instead of making guns harder to get, he blames the violence on television. What about all the violence that happened before television? I suppose the Spanish Inquisition came off a bad episode of Gilligan's Island. Dr. John Becker: Oh great, no cigarettes, the perfect cherry on this crap sundae of a morning. Jake Malinak: I don't see why you don't just quit, John, they're taking years off your life Dr. John Becker: Yeah, but those are the crusty old fart years that you spend just bitching at the world. Jake Malinak: As opposed to this whole Gandhi thing you've got going on now? Look, someone in your department shut down a residential care facility in my neighborhood and threw everyone out into the street. Now I'm here because I want something done about it! Deputy Secretary: Wow. You sound pretty upset. Dr. John Becker: Well, I am. You know, I've been on the phone all afternoon calling every city agency I can think of, and all I got was the typical beureaucratic runaround. Deputy Secretary: Well that's terrible, you shouldn't have been treated like that. Dr. John Becker: At least you see that. Deputy Secretary: Well of course I do! Dr. John Becker: Then you'll help me? Deputy Secretary: Oh dear no. Dr. John Becker: ...Well, maybe you didn't understand me... Deputy Secretary: No, I understood you perfectly. You've discovered a social injustice, and as a concerned citizen you've come to your government to demand some action. Dr. John Becker: Exactly! Deputy Secretary: It's not gonna happen. But that look on your face, oh, that took me back! What was that, righteous indignation? I used to feel like that when I first started working here forty-two years ago. Dr. John Becker: Yeah, well - you've been in this office forty-two years? Deputy Secretary: Yeah. Same desk, same fake plant, same window. Doesn't open. None of them do. Otherwise we'd all jump out. But you were saying? Dr. John Becker: Look, I told you! Either reopen the facility, or make some arrangements to take care of these people! Deputy Secretary: And I told you, I can't help. Dr. John Becker: But you're the deputy secretary of social services! Deputy Secretary: It's just a title. Dr. John Becker: Dammit! Look, listen - you're in charge here, you're responsible, you work for the city! Deputy Secretary: You're not listening! I can't help. Nobody can help. That facility is not going to reopen, and I'll tell you why: there is no money! There's no money because the federal government cut taxes, which is all anybody seems to care about anymore. That means less money for the state, which means less money for the city, which means we had to cut services, which means fewer cops, fewer firemen, bad air, bad water and crappy schools which will turn out another generation of voters too stupid and greedy to care about anything else besides cutting taxes! So don't you come in here and tell me to fix your problem, because there's not a DAMN THING I CAN DO ABOUT IT!... Where did that come from? | |

Chris Connor: Why do you think they're here for? For fun? No! They're here to [shouts] Chris Connor: get things done! Chris Duff: Why do you think they're here for? For fun? No! They're here to [shouts] Chris Duff: get things done! Dr. John Becker: [checking his clipboard] Okay, uh, Mr. Hatch. I'm Dr. Becker. [he and Richard shake hands] Richard Hatch: Hey, Doc. Want me to take my clothes off? 'Cause that's no problem. Dr. John Becker: Uh, why don't we just talk first. Richard Hatch: Okay. Dr. John Becker: [checking his clipboard] All right. It says you're here for... stomach distress. Any, uh, recent changes in your diet? Richard Hatch: No, but, uh, several months ago, I was out of the country. Dr. John Becker: Oh, yeah, I've seen that before. Mexico? Richard Hatch: No, I was on this island. My diet was very exotic. I pretty much existed on stingray, dog food, beetle larvae... Dr. John Becker: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop. What the hell's wrong with you? Richard Hatch: Hey, some of the *other* people there ate rats. Dr. John Becker: Rats? Well, why in the world would anyone do that? Richard Hatch: It was for "Survivor." Dr. John Becker: "Survivor?" Richard Hatch: You know, the contest? The show? It was on television. Dr. John Becker: Television? Oh, my God! You know, what is this world coming to? People are eating bugs and rats on a stupid television show? I swear to God! You know, TV has become nothing more than the... the Petri dish where this country grows its idiots! Don't they have better things to do than to debase themselves coast to coast? Richard Hatch: Well, I won. Dr. John Becker: Oh, yeah, won. Yeah, please. I mean, what could you possibly have won that would make up for your loss of self-respect? Richard Hatch: A million dollars? Dr. John Becker: Now, h-h-how could I get involved with something like that? Is that something that any... just anybody... [the scene fades out] I never told you to shut up. Mr. Humphries: You hung up on me once. Dr. John Becker: So I didn't have to tell you to shut up. [on the phone] I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. [hangs up the phone and Becker walks in] Margaret: What did you do? Dr. John Becker: I don't know. All right, people, give me your money! Jake Malinak: Does he have a gun? Chris Connor: No. Jake Malinak: No. Why do women always scream when they're surprised? Can't you just clutch your heart and drop dead like a man? What's new, Linda? Linda: A bunch of patients, but that's not important. Oh, yeah, there is a lawyer in your office, but that's not important. Wait 'til you see Margaret, she is wearing the most hideous thing. Dr. John Becker: The flower dress? Linda: No, worse. Dr. John Becker: The pants with the gold circles? Linda: No, worse. It looks like someone ate a box of crayons and threw up a sweater. Whatever you do, don't laugh. Dr. John Becker: Linda, Margaret and I are coworkers, I know how to keep a straight face. [walks in the back as Margaret walks by and laughs at her 'swest'] Since when do you wear glasses? Linda: I don't. Dr. John Becker: Then what are those? Linda: They just look good, they don't do anything. Dr. John Becker: Yeah, well, you'd be the expert on that. Dr. John Becker: I have to check on Mr. Nielsen. You know, I don't see what the problem is. These numbers aren't that bad. Reggie is very much hot broad. I was having that dream we all have, you know? The one where you're making love to a beautiful woman and all of a sudden her legs turn into scissors? If you and I were the only people on the face of the Earth, that would be the only thing we'd have in common. That's the problem with the world, everybody says "Everybody does it," so everybody does it! Someday you'll look back on this and laugh. Dr. John Becker: Maybe I will. But before then, I will kill you. And then I'll use my powers as a physician to bring you back to life. And then, I will kill you again. The world is full of idiots, and someone needs to point it out to them or they will never know. I don't like to lie. It's wrong. Dr. John Becker: Says who? Margaret: The Lord! Dr. John Becker: The Lord? Margaret, this is the Bronx. Believe me, he's not here. Just when I think God couldn't screw me any further, he gets out the old Black & Decker and twists a little harder! Margaret: Interesting; you're being persecuted by a God you don't believe in. Dr. John Becker: That's why he's after me, Margaret. ...everybody at Harvard used to stand in line for days to get into one of his classes Bob: Who said Harvard students don't know how to party? I can't believe you don't remember me! Prof. Fowler: I tell you one thing... you're becoming impossible to forget! Medicine is not always the best medicine. | |
