Quotes

add »
Laurette: I can't leave! What am I talking about?
McMurphy: Don't be ridiculous. Regulation, new regulation: Section 24, paragraph 3 – Laurette gets her chance, Laurette says goodbye.
Laurette: I wanna go… I just don't wanna leave. (edit)
Laurette: Forget them and their rules. What are they gonna do, send you to Vietnam? (edit)
Dr. Richard: I did not loose that body.
McMurphy: Who did?
Dr. Richard: Well, you sent it to the check out counter.
McMurphy: Oh no, you're not gonna pin this one on me. You're the doctor, you signed the death certificate.
Dr. Richard: Doctors are forgiven minor mistakes. Amputating the wrong legs, putting an appendix in instead of taking one out, diagnosing gun shot wound as the measles… we leave that sort of thing for records. But, losing a body that's something different… Bad for the resume, bad for the house payments. (edit)
McMurphy: I'm a Catholic, I'm not supposed to be happy. (edit)
Cherry: I really feel for them
McMurphy: We all do that's why we're here.
Laurette: Yeah, I never thought they'd be too many men for me.
K.C.: It's just simple economics ladies – supply and demand. When men are scarce their value goes up. When they're plentiful like they are here the market gets flood.
Laurette: There's no place for us to hide.
Cherry: You know I hate myself for it but you know I've even thought - if one more guy comes up to me I'll just scream.
Dr. Richard: Ladies…
(the 4 scream) (edit)
