Quotes
-
Dr. Jack Morrison : [after Shirley Daniels is betrayed] Whose idea was this?
Nurse Shirley Daniels : [Bitter] Well, let's party. I'll do prison tricks. That's why you're all here, right? To gawk at the jailbird. Harry Houdini slipping shackles.
Prison Guard : Stop.
Dr. Jack Morrison : Calm down.
Nurse Shirley Daniels : [Bitter] I'm a little rusty on my escape artist act. My friends. My good buds. Colleagues. Pals. I haven't heard word one from any of you creeps in 18 months.

Dr. Jack Morrison : Why are you so bitter?
Nurse Shirley Daniels : I thought I was coming home. I thought people would understand, forgive me. But I'm just an object of curiosity, a freak. All my friends assume I killed that old woman. No trial, no testimony, just guilty.
Dr. Jack Morrison : I'm sorry.
Prison Guard : Come on, the wagon's waiting.
Dr. Jack Morrison : Wait! Hold on. Shirley, when-When you're in prison, and somebody has it in for you, they say they're gonna get you, what do you-how-Has that happened to you?
Nurse Shirley Daniels : Yeah.
Dr. Jack Morrison : And what do you do?
Nurse Shirley Daniels : You whack them first. Take em' out before they do you.
Dr. Jack Morrison : Alright.
Nurse Shirley Daniels : You know, sometimes, Jack, I imagine we were on the roof that night, you're talking to me. But instead of putting the gun down, this time I pull the trigger. Your brains explode. And I put the gun in my mouth, and I pull the trigger again. And you and me, we're together for all eternity.
Dr. Jack Morrison : Why do you say things like that?
Nurse Shirley Daniels : I just want you to know how much I've always cared about you.
Prison Guard : [Escorting Daniels out of the hospital] Let's go.
Nurse Shirley Daniels : You get the scum that raped you, Jack!
Dr. Jack Morrison : I will.
