Omar Epps: Dr. Eric Foreman

Quotes 

• Dr. Robert Chase : [about a photo of himself]  That... is not me.

  Dr. Chris Taub : That is you.

  Dr. Robert Chase : [Pointing to part of picture]  Th-that's me.

  [Pointing to another part] 

  Dr. Robert Chase : But th-that is not. Whoever did this made it smaller. Much, much smaller.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Whoever did this has a bone to pick with you. Ironic, since your bone...

  Dr. Robert Chase : It is not in that picture. My proof is right here.

  [Starts to undo his belt] 

  Dr. Robert Chase : You really want to see it?

• Driscoll : Yeah, well, it beats the alternatives, which is ending up in jail or in a gang *or* a coffin.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : How often you pull that off?

  Driscoll : Two-thirds never re-offend. That's better numbers than juvie.

  [Masters gives a disapproving look] 

  Dr. Eric Foreman : She's brilliant, but, uh, new to the real world.

  Driscoll : Yeah.

• Martha Masters : They're treating the symptom instead of the disease. Basic systems theory. Troubled kids are produced by troubled families. This place doesn't even attempt to change the environment that damaged them in the first place.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : So there are no bad kids, only bad parents? Then why is my brother an ex-con?

  Martha Masters : Treating kids decently doesn't mean identically. Some kids need more structure or discipline. Nobody needs this place.

• Dr. Robert Chase : How generous is "extraordinarily generous?"

  Martha Masters : Call the charity, explain the donation is a fraud.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : And take back Wells's wedding gift? *You* are extraordinarily screwed.
