The Body in Question (1991)

Janine Turner: Maggie O'Connell

Quotes 

• Maggie O'Connell : I thought cryogenics could preserve a body for centuries, Fleischman!

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : See, once again, a little PBS proves a dangerous thing.

• Dr. Joel Fleischman : Yeah, I hate to say this, but I think Maurice may be right. Now, Pierre has yielded a new truth to the world, and however ludicrous and personally unsettling and regardless of its impact, I think we have an obligation to tell that truth.

  Maggie O'Connell : Why?

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : Because the truth belongs to everyone. What would've happened if Newton had decided to keep the law of gravity to himself? The truth initiates events whose impact we can't foresee. It's our responsibility to just tell it and get out of the way.

  Maurice J. Minnifield : There you go, ladies and gentlemen. That's the opinion of a New York doctor. A *Jewish* New York doctor.
