Emily TaylorImagine everything you ever wanted shows up one day and calls itself your life. And then just when you start to believe in it - gone. And suddenly it gets very hard to imagine a future. That's depression, right?

Emily TaylorWhat do you doctors call faking? Malingering? Such a funny word. Girls learn to fake things at a very early age - probably around the same time that boys are learning to lie.

Emily TaylorI read somewhere that there's a difference between tears of joy and tears of rage. Is that true? It's in the chemistry, but you can't tell by looking, they all just look like tears.

Dierdre Banks[about taking beta blocker]Is it bad that I'm doing this?
Dr. Jonathan BanksEveryone takes them. Lawyers, musicians - people going to interviews for big jobs. It doesn't make you anything you're not. It just makes it easier for you to be who you are.

Prison Desk GuardI can't let it in unless I see it.
Upset VisitorI know. I know what the rules are. I'm just asking if you can make an exception.

Dr. Jonathan BanksI'm a psychiatrist, Miss Taylor. Normally, when people hit things with their car, there are skidmarks on the pavement. A brick wall is a pretty good reason to use the brakes, turn the wheel. You didn't do that.

Martin's Mother[reading from Emily's letter]"We go to doctors with our sadness and our faith in the hope they will guide us toward health. But instead I have gone down a path toward a misery I never could have imagined. And I have taken my loved ones with me. My only hope is that no one else follows me to this place."

Dr. Jonathan Banks[He and his wife are standing in their kitchen]It was during my residency, there was a walk-in clinic at the university. I saw her maybe three times. She called the suicide hotline every other night, even when she saw other people there. She was a paranoid schizophrenic and a drug addict, a very sick girl. She stalked me, she knew where I lived.
Dierdre Banks[Referring to the letter on the table]Why are they writing this?
Dr. Jonathan BanksTheir daughter committed suicide and left a very graphic note naming me. It never happened. Look, it's not unusual for there to be emotional transference between a patient and a therapist.
