Quotes 

• Wilkes : I used to work in the Female Wing. But the "Nympho Ward" got too dangerous for me.

• Wilkes : Don't mind Lloyd. He doesn't mean anything by that chip on his shoulder. It's just his way of fighting everybody because he can't cure the patients.

• Johnny Barrett : Am I the only loony in this ward?

  Wilkes : No, Mr. Barret, your roommates are in the "street." Oh, if you don't mind, we never use words here like "nuts, bugs, screwy, goofy, loony"... We'd like it very much if you didn't use them, either.

  Johnny Barrett : [Sarcastically]  I'm sorry - - I'm a "greenhorn inmate."

  Wilkes : [Calmly]  You're a patient, not an inmate.

• Wilkes : [while getting his ears pulled on by Johnny]  I KILLED SLOANE!

• Lloyd : Trent!

  Trent : Yes, sir.

  Lloyd : A pillow case is missing.

  Trent : I don't have it, sir.

  Lloyd : It's from your bed.

  Trent : I don't have it, sir.

  Lloyd : You want to go back into the hall?

  Trent : I don't have it, sir!

  Wilkes : [Trying to end the argument]  Let him keep it.

  Lloyd : Keep out of this, Wilkes!

  Wilkes : Dr. Cristo said not to get him excited.

  Lloyd : You know what that pillow case means.

  Wilkes : [Puts a hand on Trent's shoulder to comfort him]  It's all right, Trent. We know you don't have it.

  Trent : Thank you, sir.
