Quotes 

• Surinder : [discussing a new drug Dr. Pilfrey has been testing on his patients]  Dr. den Harg rang me too. Apparantly in Germany, they tried it on hamsters. They died within minutes.

  Dr. Ronnie Pilfrey : [raises his right hand]  As God as my witness, I'll never give it to a single hamster.

• Edwin Slippery : [replying to a love letter/e-mail Pilfrey sent to his mother]  I've called it "Deeper feelings for a Doctor".

  [Lucy giggles] 

  Edwin Slippery : "Dear Ronnie..."

  Laura Proek : Don't over do it.

  Edwin Slippery : Sorry..."Ronnie, my feelings for you have gotten deeper and mow they threaten to shake my marriage to Paul. He is old and tired. You are young and..." What's the word?

  Lucy Proek : Vibrant?

  Edwin Slippery : That's the one. "I need to see that crazy, crazy smile of yours. The strange and hypnotic hand gestures. The way you sing those old Beatles' numbers."

  Laura Proek : He'll never believe this.

  Edwin Slippery : Of course he will. People believe what they want to believe, and take my word for it, every man wants to believe this.

  Dr. Ronnie Pilfrey : [Reading e-mail]  "I've felt the secrecy of what we have between us. We know things others don't. WE're like spies. Secret agents in a forgien land. Once you get this message, destroy it!"

  Edwin Slippery : [Narrating e-mail]  "P.S. Give me a sign that you feel the same. A secret code. Wear the brightest socks you can find, and I will know." Now watch him go.

  Laura Proek : I hope you know what you're doing.

  Edwin Slippery : [heavy accent]  He insulted my mother. He must die.
