The Assignment quotes

  • Dr. Turley: I had forgotten about her Shakespeare obsession. First thing after she got here was send for the complete works. You got a little blast of it, huh?

    Dr. Ralph Galen: Yes, my inability to recognize a quote from Richard II was held to be an unforgivable fault. She's constantly reminding me she's probably the most clever woman who ever drew a breath. Just this morning I got a nice lecture on Poe.

    Dr. Turley: Poe? As in Edgar Allan?

    Dr. Ralph Galen: Oh, God, is there another?

  • Johnnie: Frank?

    Frank Kitchen: Yeah, it's me. I look a little different, huh?

    Johnnie: You are different. A lot different. I... I don't know what to say.

    Frank Kitchen: So you're a nurse.

    Johnnie: Yeah, I guess I forgot to mention it. You had plastic surgery, huh? Just like some gangster guy out of an old movie? You're some kind of criminal, right? I had that figured. I can still tell it's you, though. It's okay. You look all right.

    Frank Kitchen: I got into some bad shit with some real bad guys. I was hoping I could stay over at your house for a couple nights. I promise to stay out of your way. I'll even pay you for it.

    Johnnie: No. I don't want your money. We're friends. Fuck buddies.
