Dr. Kaufman Quotes in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

Dr. Kaufman: This is very embarrassing. It seems there is a red box they need in your car, only they can't get it open. They want me to get you to tell how to open it. I feel like an idiot, I don't know what to say.

Dr. Sayer: [in job interview] It was an immense project. I was to extract 1 decagram of myelin from 4 tons of earth worms.

Dr. Sullivan: Really!

Dr. Sayer: Yes. I was on the project for 5 years. I was the only one who believed in it. Everyone else said it couldn't be done.

Dr. Kaufman: It can't.

Dr. Sayer: I know that now. I proved it.

Dr. Sayer: I would like to put the rest of the group on the drug. I realize this might be somewhat expensive.

Dr. Kaufman: When you say "expensive" do you have any idea how much money you're talking about?

Dr. Sayer: Yes, I talked to Ray. I have an estimate, um... The pharmacist says to put all others on the same dosage as Mr. Lowe would be, um, 12,000.

Dr. Kaufman: How much?

Dr. Sayer: $12,000.

Dr. Kaufman: A month?

Dr. Sayer: Yes.

Dr. Kaufman: I can't go before the board with that, doctor.

Dr. Sayer: I was thinking of speaking directly to the patrons.

Dr. Sayer: We'll have to convince them to give more than they're accustomed to giving. Perhaps if they see Mr. Lowe.

Dr. Kaufman: I think you overestimate the effect that Mr. Lower has on people, doctor. We're talking about money.
