- Doctor: And where do you live, Simon?
- Mary Hobbes: I live in the weak and the wounded... Doc.
- Doctor: Billy, where does the Princess live?
- Mary Hobbes: [voice of Billy] In the tongue.
- Doctor: Why the tongue?
- Mary Hobbes: [voice of Billy] Because she's always talking, sir.
- Doctor: And where do you live, Billy?
- Mary Hobbes: [voice of Billy] I live in the eyes - you know that.
- Doctor: Remind me, though. Why the eyes?
- Mary Hobbes: [voice of Billy] Because... I see everything, sir.
- Doctor: And where does Simon live, Billy? Where does Simon live?
- Mary Hobbes: [Silence]
- Phil: He was a liability. I mean, he brought it on himself... Didn't he? I mean, it's typical. Typical Henry: The wrong place, at the wrong time.
- Gordon: You did this?
- Phil: Gordon! I need you to wake up, and take a really, *really* good look at him... You know what I wouldn't do? I wouldn't tell anybody about this, because if they find out about Hank, they're going to find out about the others.
- Doctor: [on tape] Why are you crying, Mary?
- Mary Hobbes: [on tape] I miss my family. How come they won't come visit, Doctor?
- Mike: [mock-lecturing his fellow crew members] The icepick method. Insert a thin metal pipette into the orbital frontal cortex. Enter the soft tissue of the frontal lobe. A few simple, smooth, up-and-down jerks sever the lateral hypothalamus... all resulting in a rapid reduction of stress for our little patient here. Total time elapsed? Two minutes. Only side-effect? Black eye. Recommended treatment? Sunglasses.
- Bill Griggs: This is where they'd keep the extreme patients. The psychotics... You know what they called Ward A? "The snake pit."... Either of you guys scared of the dark? Come on, over here.
- [Bill Griggs and Phil walk away together]
- Mary Hobbes: [disembodied voice of Simon] Hello... Gordon.
- Phil: [calling from a distance] Gordy?
- [shining flashlight]
- Phil: It's me, man! Come on!
- Mary Hobbes: [disembodied voice of Simon, as Gordon sleeps] Hello, Gordon. You know who I am... *Do it, Gordon.*
- [He awakens in fright]
- Mary Hobbes: [voice of "Princess"] Have you seen our doll, Mister Doctor?... Mary got a china doll from her mommy, and we can't find it now.
- Vision: [Written on the wall of the hospital, from a vintage magazine clipping] Suddenly it's going to dawn on you.
- Mary Hobbes: [tape of session 9, Mary speaks in a voice, hauntingly deep with masculinity] Hello, Doc.
- Doctor: Simon?
- Mary Hobbes: You know who I am.
- Doctor: Billy has told me a lot about you.
- Mary Hobbes: Billy is a smart boy.
- Doctor: What happened on Christmas night in Lowell?
- Mary Hobbes: Use your imagination.
- Doctor: I'd rather you tell me, Simon.
- Mary Hobbes: Peter was naughty, Doc.
- Doctor: What did Peter do?
- Mary Hobbes: He shouldn't have done it... Doc.
- Doctor: Tell me, Simon.
- Mary Hobbes: He scared Mary, Doc. He crept up behind her in the dark and he scared her. Mary fell down, Doc. She fell on her doll. It cut her up, Doc. It cut her up real bad. She needed someone to help her. So I... introduced myself. And I told her to cut up Peter, Doc. To cut him up real bad. Good thing his knife was brand new. Real sharp. And then just so her mommy and daddy wouldn't get mad, I told her... to cut them up, too. There was a lot of blood, Doc. So much blood. But Mary wanted to do it, so she did it.
- Mary Hobbes: [voice of "Simon," on tape] Mary fell down, Doc... She needed someone to help her. So I... introduced myself.
- Mary Hobbes: [disembodied voice of Simon, as Gordon looks out a window towards the cemetery] You can hear me.
- Mary Hobbes: [masculine voice] Hello... Doc.
- Doctor: Simon?
- Mary Hobbes: [masculine voice] You know who I am.
- Doctor: Why did you do it, Simon?
- Mary Hobbes: [masculine voice] Because Mary let me, Doc. They always do. They always do.
- [laughs]
- Phil: It says here that 19 were committed due to disappointed expectations, Hank, they're talkin' about you.
- Gordon: I hit Wendy.
- Phil: What?
- Gordon: It was Friday night. I wanted to celebrate gettin' this job. I had the flowers, I had the champagne. I went into the kitchen. She was cookin' pasta. I wanted to kiss her. She turned around and before I knew it, there was a pot of boiling water all over my leg. And I don't know if it was the dog barkin', I don't know if it was Emma cryin', but I slapped her. I hit my wife. I love my wife. It was an accident. But I slapped her for it.
- Mike: He came into her room at night wearing a black robe. He'd take her and drive her to a wooded area where her grandparents and her mother were, and they'd all have black robes on. They'd take them off and group orgies would ensue... and then they'd bring out the newborn. She was forced to watch as her mother would cut the baby's heart out with a stone dagger. She'd drink the blood; others would eat the flesh. The grandfather and father would fuck her repeatedly. She was forced to have abortions and cook the aborted fetuses.
- Phil: You think I'm doing a bad job, Mike?
- Mike: [indifferently, reading an old asylum journal] No, you're doing fine.
- Phil: This used to be a great deal. Steady gigs, joking around, beers after work...
- Mike: Hey, look, it says here that eight were committed for "uncontrolled passion."
- Phil: [irritably] Then Emma came... Don't look at me like that, man. You know that's why we lost the last two gigs. He's tired, and he overbid.
- Mike: [defensively] Gordon loves being a father.
- Phil: [his voice rising] Yeah, *now* he does. *Now* he loves it. But it was *never* in his heart. This was all *Wendy's* idea.
- Mike: Look, Phil. Just because you say you don't want something doesn't mean you don't want it. Six years ago, I didn't want to be a lawyer, but now I'm thinking...
- Phil: Wait. Who the fuck are you kidding? You shuck fiber with us, in there, okay? But that's - that's not what I am talking about.
- [With growing anger]
- Phil: I am talking about fatherhood. It's screwing this guy's head up, and it's fucking his job up. At the very least, he should've canned Hank's ass six months ago, and you know it! What are *you* looking at? Where do you think you're going, Mike?
- Henry: I've never seen ol' Gordo lose it man, but... but lately I've been startin' to see some cracks.
- Jeff: Hello...? You're in deep trouble, you know that?
- Henry: [Slowly and drawn-out] What are you... doing in here?
- Jeff: [looking confused] Me? Everyone thinks you're in Miami in that Casino School! My Uncle Gordo and Phil want your head!... Did you score on a scratch?
- Henry: ...What are you... doing in here?
- [Henry is wearing sunglasses and as he reaches up towards the window, his fingers leave a streak of old blood on the glass]
- Jeff: [Jeff's eyes go wide and he looks terrified] ... I... I forgot something, I'll be back!
- [He takes off down the stairs to find his co-workers]
- Phil: [Phil smokes some weed while watching a flock of geese flying over Danvers] ... It's gonna get ugly...
- Mary Hobbes: [voice of Simon] And then... just so her mommy and daddy wouldn't get mad -
- [Simon sniggers]
- Mary Hobbes: - I told her... to cut *them* up, too.
- [Simon laughs uncontrollably]
- Mary Hobbes: There was a lot of blood, Doc. Sooo much blood... But Mary wanted to do it. So, she did it.
- Henry: So, the loonies are out in the real world, and here we are with the keys to the loony bin, boys!
- Henry: Gordon, you've finally landed us the perfect gig! Next time someone says what we do is crazy, just tell 'em, "hey - we work in an insane asylum!"
- Bill Griggs: [gets out of his car and gets a view of the Danvers hospital] You've gotta be kiddin' me... freakin' beautiful!
- Henry: [motioning to Jeff's blaring stereo] Mikey didn't tell you about these?
- Jeff: What?
- Henry: Rule one: Music creates sonic vibrations. Vibrations jiggle spooj dust into the air. It gets into the air, it gets into your lungs. This music you plannin' on listening to?
- Jeff: Yeah...
- Henry: Yeah, you tryin' to kill us all? Either turn it off or put on something else. Like Yanni, or John Tesh or something.
- [leaves]
- Jeff: Who's Yanni?
