Working Late a Lot

The Knick 1×8

& Dr. Thackery: Sex, pleasure, immodesty... us here now...this is no sin.
    Nurse Elkins: Will you be there on Judgment Day to make my case, then?
    Dr. Thackery: God’s not watching. He’s too busy not saving sick children and letting people starve. But if He does exist, He’s the one that should be doing the atoning, not you.

& Dr. Thackery: We’re a hospital. We need cocaine to exist.

& Dr. Thackery: No supplies of any kind?
— Whatever there was has been exhausted. Nothing for the beverage makers, the elixir chemists, physicians or pharmacists. For the foreseeable future, all institutions are going to have to work without cocaine.

& Dr. Edwards: I’m sorry about that, Mr. Tuttle, and promise we will take excellent care of you. He... he’s brusque, but he’s a fine surgeon.
    Mr. Tuttle: As long as it isn’t you doing it, he can yell all he wants.

& Dr. Thackery: I want to go out and stay out. If I wake up, you shove this pipe in my mouth and you fire it up again and again and again.
    Lin-Lin: You do want to wake up sometime, right, Johnny?
