Quotes 

  • John Q. Archibald : [to Grimes, Monroe, and to the entire crowd cheering for him]  I AM NOT GOING TO BURY MY SON! MY SON IS GOING TO BURY ME!

  • John Q. Archibald : [standing next to him]  Just try to stay awake for a minute, son, I need to tell you a few things.

    Mike Archibald : [in a containment room inside the emergency room]  Okay, Dad.

    John Q. Archibald : You always listen to your mother, understand? Do what she tells you to do. She's your best friend. Tell her you love her every day. You're too young for girls right now but there's gonna come a time, and when it does, you treat them like princesses, because that's what they are. When you say you're gonna do something, you do it. Because your word is your bond, son, that's all you have. And money, you make money if you get a chance. Even if you gotta sell out every once in a while, you make as much money as you can. Don't be stupid like your father - everything is so much easier with money, son. Don't smoke. Be kind to people. If somebody chooses you, you stand up, you be a man. And you stay away from the bad things, son. Please, don't be caught up in the bad things - there are so many great things out there for you. I'll never leave you. I'm always with you, right there

    [in your heart] 

    John Q. Archibald : . I love you son.

  • John Q. Archibald : [shouting at the Medicaid Official over the counter]  My son is dying, and I'm broke. If I don't qualify for Medicare, WHO THE HELL DOES?

  • John Q. Archibald : [after taking over the emergency room]  The hospital is under new management now! Free health care for everyone!

  • John Q. Archibald : [in the waiting area of the emergency room]  Who was driving?

    Mitch : Huh?

    John Q. Archibald : The car. Who was driving?

    Mitch : I was. What's that got to do with anything?

    John Q. Archibald : Why's your girl all banged up and you're not?

    Mitch : What do you call this?

    [shows light scratches on arm] 

    Lester : [laughs] 

    Mitch : What are you laughing at?

    Lester : Somebody get this fool a band-aid. I don't want you to bleed to death.

    Mitch : Screw you man. This shit hurts.

    Julie Bird : His airbag went off and mine didn't.

    John Q. Archibald : What kind of car do you drive?

    Mitch : Mercedes 500.

    John Q. Archibald : You drive a Mercedes 500? Oh. What year?

    Mitch : 1986. It's a classic.

    John Q. Archibald : Mercedes didn't make passenger side air-bags til 1988.

    Lester : [laughs]  *Busted!*

  • Employee Manager : [in his office]  Your policy has changed, Mr. Archibald.

    John Q. Archibald : [sitting in front of him]  Changed to what?

    Employee Manager : Yeah, we recently switched carriers from a PPO to a HMO. It's a less expensive policy, but unfortunately, there are some restrictions.

    John Q. Archibald : What kind of restrictions?

    Employee Manager : Here's how it works: Non-management part-time employees, such as yourself, only qualify for second tier catastrophic coverage.

    John Q. Archibald : No, no. I'm not part-time. I'm full-time. It's just slow right now.

    Employee Manager : Sure, but your coverage is based on hours worked and like I said, you only qualify for second tier. And that has a maximum payout limit of $20,000.

    John Q. Archibald : [shocked]  What? Wha- I-I mean-I mean, you guys have been taking money out of my paycheck every week. I've been paying into this policy for years.

    Employee Manager : Right. And that's why we're gonna cover you for the full twenty.

    John Q. Archibald : You can't be right. I mean, come on. Alright, let me get this straight: You're telling me that you have dropped me from full-time to part-time. You switched carriers. Now you're telling me I'm not fully covered? Even though I got a policy that says I am?

    Employee Manager : It doesn't seem right, does it?

    John Q. Archibald : No, it doesn't seem right. I mean, my son is sick. If I'm not covered, I've got a serious problem.

    Employee Manager : I understand that, uh, but there's nothing I can do. Look, you can file for an appeal.

    John Q. Archibald : Yeah?

    Employee Manager : [hands John an appeal application]  Here you go. That takes about seven working days.

  • Max Conlin : [after collecting signatures for his will from the others]  So what? Are you just gonna go in there and "off" yourself?

    John Q. Archibald : Only one thing is gonna stop me.

    Max Conlin : Yeah, and what is that?

    John Q. Archibald : [standing up, jokingly]  If Mitch is B positive.

    Mitch : Oh Hell no. Uh-uh. No way baby.

    [Everybody laughs] 

    John Q. Archibald : See you in the funny papers.

  • Rebecca Payne : [in her office]  No, no, no. This is an appeal. An appeal is for an already existing claim. What you needed to file was a grievance. You filed the wrong paperwork.

    John Q. Archibald : [sitting in front of her]  Wait a minute...

    Rebecca Payne : You're gonna have to resubmit. It could take up to 30 days.

    John Q. Archibald : [turns frustrated]  Look, I don't have 30 days.

    Rebecca Payne : I know you don't.

    John Q. Archibald : And quite frankly, I'm getting sick of the runaround. Now what I need is my son's name...

    Rebecca Payne : Mr. Archibald, your account is in access of $30,000. The hospital has been over backwards to help you out.

    John Q. Archibald : Is that right?

    Rebecca Payne : Yes! It is right. But there's a limit to our generosity. Once and for all, your insurance does not cover this.

  • [Turner looking at a gunshot patient] 

    Dr. Turner : Oh. no, I can't handle this... it's a gunshot. I'm a cardiac surgeon, I'm not an emergency physician

    John Q. Archibald : It's like riding a bike, pretend you're getting paid

    Dr. Turner : No, this is apple and oranges OK. I can't do this

    John Q. Archibald : The man is dying, help him

    Dr. Turner : I'd like to, but I...

    John Q. Archibald : DO IT!

    Dr. Turner : 75mg of Demerol IV... Lidocaine 2% local... let's go, I'll scrub up

  • [John locks the emergency door with a few hostages] 

    Dr. Turner : Mr Archibald... these people have nothing to do with this... You have to let them go... they need treatment

    John Q. Archibald : This is a hospital... you're a doctor... Why don't you treat them, start with him

    [Turner looks at Lester then looks back at John] 

    John Q. Archibald : What the matter doctor, you want to see his insurance card first?
