[edit] Dialogue
- Cambell: "Inspired is when you believe you can do anything. Mania is when you know."
- Cambell: "You've just gotta say (faux American accent) 'I'm not gonna take anymore 'a dis Crapolla"
- Rosalee: "I can't do that!"
- Cambell: "How no'?"
- Rosalee: "I'm not American"
- Cambell: "I don't have to conform to vagaries of time and space...I'm a loony for god's sake!"
- Cambell: "I'll introduce you to the loonies later. They're watchin' Nieghbours at the moment. It's the high point of the patient's day. And eating I suppose. Two high points; Eating and watching Nieghbours. And sleeping. Three high-points! It's a wonder the patient's aren't exhausted from the excitement, aye?"
- Cambell: "They tried to get it going a couple of years ago. Rumor has it that the next morning, 122 patients told their shrinks they were hearin' voices. And they prescribed them 6,000 pounds' worth of tranquilizers before they realized it was the hospital radio. So it had to be stopped." [incredulously] "I don't believe it myself. I can't believe that 122 patients could no' be watchin' television at the same time".
