Quotes4

  • Dr. Jeremiah Naehring: Did you know that the word 'trauma' comes from the Greek for 'wound'? Hm? And what is the German word for 'dream'? Traum. Ein Traum. Wounds can create monsters, and you, you are wounded, Marshal. And wouldn't you agree, when you see a monster, you... you must stop it?
  • Teddy Daniels: Yeah... I agree.
  • [injects him with a sedative]
  • [Dr. Cawley has asked the marshals about their preferred drinks]
  • Teddy Daniels: Soda and ice, please, thanks.
  • Dr. Jeremiah Naehring: Oh. You don't indulge in alcohol? I'm surprised. Isn't it common for men in your profession to imbibe?
  • Teddy Daniels: Common enough. And... in yours?
  • Dr. Jeremiah Naehring: Er... I'm sorry?
  • Teddy Daniels: Your profession, Doctor, psychiatry.
  • Dr. Jeremiah Naehring: Yes?
  • Teddy Daniels: I always heard it was overrun with boozers and drunks.
  • Dr. Jeremiah Naehring: Not that I noticed.
  • Teddy Daniels: What's that, ice tea in your glass there?
  • Dr. Jeremiah Naehring: [laughs, despite himself] Excellent, Marshal. You have outstanding defense mechanisms. You must be quite adept at interrogations.
  • Dr. Jeremiah Naehring: You both served overseas, huh?
  • Chuck Aule: It's not much of a stretch, Doc. For all you know, we're both paper pushers over there.
  • Dr. Jeremiah Naehring: No, you are not. - Since the schoolyard, neither of you has ever walked away from a physical conflict. No, no, not because you enjoyed it, but because retreat isn't something you consider an option.
  • Chuck Aule: We weren't raised to run, Doc.
  • Dr. Jeremiah Naehring: Ah, yes. Raised. And who raised you, Marshal?
  • Teddy Daniels: Me? Wolves.
  • [Dr. Naehring and Dr. Cawley laugh again]
  • Dr. Jeremiah Naehring: Very impressive defense mechanisms.
  • Dr. Jeremiah Naehring: Men like you are my specialty, you know. Men of violence.
  • Chuck Aule: Now, that's a hell of an assumption to make.
  • Dr. Jeremiah Naehring: No assumption, no, not at all. You misunderstand me. I said, you are 'men of violence'. I'm not accusing you of being violent men. That's quite different.
