Quotes 

• Doctor Sam Rice : Now listen to me! On account of you, I'm an accessory to something. I don't know what! I'm withholding evidence. I'm obstructing justice. I'm gonna get my license revoked if I'm not thrown into jail first. And on top of that, I've just spent fifteen thousand dollars for a painting I don't even like!

• George Bynum : You know, the more I see of that new girl in the office, the more I think that she's definitely your type.

  Doctor Sam Rice : And what do you think that is?

  George Bynum : Stiff.

• Doctor Sam Rice : You want my wallet, don't you? Master Charge, Visa, American Express? Huh?

• Brooke Reynolds : I walked home. I left him there. I must have been the last person - to see him alive. When I woke up in the morning, I saw the papers. I couldn't believe it. It was - it was horrible. I saw his picture. This man that I thought I'd loved. It was horrible, but you know what I felt? I felt relieved. All I kept thinking was. "I'm so glad. I'm so glad he's out of my life." Don't you think that there's something - a little bit wrong with that? I mean, with me?

  Doctor Sam Rice : First of all, let's get one thing straight. You're not responsible for what happened to George Bynum just because you're glad he's dead. And whatever you're feeling now, guilt, remorse, whatever it is, it's human, it's understandable, and it's something we all share. Nothing wrong with that.

• Doctor Sam Rice : And that's when he wakes from the dream.

  Grace Rice : Okay, let's have one last go at the traditional stuff. Box, woman.

  Doctor Sam Rice : Green, jealousy.

  Grace Rice : So we start by considering the possibility that we're dealing with a jealous woman.

  Doctor Sam Rice : Since George Bynum puts the box in his pocket, I can only assume that he thinks he has some sort of control over the jealous woman.

  Grace Rice : Until something goes wrong and she gets loose. What about the little girl? Did he tell you why he was frightened of her?

  Doctor Sam Rice : Uh-uh. He gave me the dream, that's all. I can only think that she's some sort of displacement for the mother or the sister.

  Grace Rice : Oh, no, no, no. Not at all! We're probably dealing with a woman who on the surface seems childlike and innocent, but underneath is capable of extreme violence.

• Doctor Sam Rice : I'm a much better shrink than I ever would have been a second baseman.

• Doctor Sam Rice : I've got to talk to her, it's very important.

  Gail Phillips : Oh, God, she's going to kill me!
