Edgar Stehli: Doctor

Quotes 

• Doctor : [after examining 'The Mountain' McClintock]  The Mountain and I will retire this week.

  Maish Rennick : What do you mean?

  Doctor : No more. He's through.

  Maish Rennick : Hold on, I could let him rest up, I got nothing scheduled for him!

  Doctor : He can rest up for the rest of his life.

  Maish Rennick : What are you talking about? He spends fourteen years in the ring, suddenly he gets a little cut, and you want to put him out to pasture?

  Doctor : Suddenly? It doesn't go fourteen years and then 'suddenly'. It's never one cut, it's fourteen years of cuts!
