Mental Season 1 Episode 5

(Jack and Liam are in the gym. Jack is working out while Liam isn't.)
Jack: Not in the mood.
Liam: I haven't had sex in two days.
Jack: Is that unusual?
Liam: Unprecedented. People think my life is so much better than theirs. That all they have to do is sleep with me and some of it rubs off.

Jack: See Hollywood's fine with drug addiction, it's almost a rite of passage. But mental illness on the other hand…
Nora: You should be really proud of yourself. He came in here pretending to be crazy and you actually make him crazy.
Jack: Proud, no. Vindicated.

Jack: How would you assess a patient exhibiting sexually provocative behavior, melodramatic expressions of emotion, easy suggestibility, a desperate need for excessive admiration, and a grandiose sense of self importance?
Veronica: Oh you think he has a narcissistic personality disorder. So do a lot of creative types too.
Carl: So! Discharge him and find him a therapist.

Nora: How could a staff of trained professionals…
Carl: (interrupts) Since you are clearly not, I suggest you take your criticism…
Jack: Come here look at this. (watching Liam's outburst video)
Nora: I've seen it.
Carl: Why not release a statement. We knew it was an act all along. We were simply helping Mr. McBride prepare for a difficult role about a serious mental illness in order to increase public awareness.
Nora: Why not? Because we are not sailors on "The Good Ship Lollipop," we're living in the real world.

Carl: Classic symptomology-auditory hallucinations, desired illusions, disorganized speech and behavior. Classic.
Veronica: If that's the case, he's chosen the wrong profession. If would think the emotional demands of an actor would exacerbate the problem over time.

(After watching Liam's outburst on television)
Nora: This occurred approximately two hours ago.
Jack: What's he been doing since then?
Nora: Studio security grabbed him as he was about to drive his Ferrari right through the guard gate.
