Crossing Jordan

Garret (giving a speech to college students): You want my career advice? Because here it is: Don't follow your father's footsteps, don't follow in anybody's footsteps. Don't become a doctor just because your mother wants you to be a doctor or because your father never once said he loved you in your whole lousy life. I don't care. Take that and go do something noble. Go be an artist…be a poet. Do you understand the courage it takes to become a poet? Find something beautiful in live even if it's just for a moment. Something that tells you you're alive. And it's gonna be okay. Anyone have any questions about that?...Don't forget what I said.

Garret: Do you smell something funny? Jordan: Garret, it's a morgue, it's supposed to smell bad. Garret: Thank you...yes, that's the problem in a nutshell.

Max: Jordan, you can't go through life poking everyone but God in the eye!

Garret: Five jobs in four years, that's impressive. Jordan: You know me, short attention span.

Trey: You know we should probably go out and grab dinner sometime, get to know each other better. Jordan: What you mean sharing a ten by ten office space isn't enough closeness for you? Trey: Good point.

Jordan: About that dinner thing... I don't like to date people I work with... Trey: Oh, you thought I was asking you out? That's sort of embarrassing...
