Lawrence Arancio: Medical Examiner

Quotes 

• Medical Examiner : I have no record of this man.

  Dr. Guy Luthan : You know what, I think in fact you have. If you could maybe just take another look. It's Minkins, M-I-N-K-I-N-S. Pulmonary embolism.

  Medical Examiner : I have no record of this man.

  [starts walking away] 

  Dr. Guy Luthan : Sorry, who's actually in charge here, then?

  Medical Examiner : [turns back]  That would be me. I've been here since midnight and I made no such calls.

  Dr. Guy Luthan : [following him into the hall]  Okay, so, uh, let me just get this straight -- uh, A, no one phoned me, so I suppose that was just my imagination running riot, and B, you have absolutely no record of a patient of mine that died 24 hours ago.

  Medical Examiner : [smiles]  Your hospital's known for losing patients. Living and dead.

  [starts walking away again] 

  Dr. Guy Luthan : What did you say? What did you say?

  [the medical examiner turns back in exasperation] 

  Dr. Guy Luthan : You're quite a creepy person, aren't you? You see, before I was thinking you were just obstructive or inept, but now I'm beginning to think you're much more sinister than that.

  Medical Examiner : [stops smiling]  I think you'd better leave.
