Joan Lasher : [gives him a present to open] This is from me.
Dr. Jim Crowley : Well! A letter opener!
Joan Lasher : No doctor should be without one. Use it this way. You take off serious symptoms in your fingers and impress your patients.
Dr. Jim Crowley : Does it also open letters?
Joan Lasher : [laughs] Only when they contain checks.
Dr. Jim Crowley : This, and the scalpel. I'm in business!
-
Joan Lasher : I haven't seen all the surgery in the world, but I know the best when I see it. And surgeons like you come along only once in a long, long while. You are a fine doctor. All you need is your hands. Keep them clean.
Dr. Tom Owen : I intend to.
Joan Lasher : You can't. Not the way you've been going. Good night, doctor!

Dr. Tom Owen : You've been around long enough to know that a doctor's success depends on who he treats, not how well.
Joan Lasher : [angrily] I'm sorry, doctor. I haven't been around that long.
Dr. Tom Owen : Well, what have we here? A nurse with ideals?
Joan Lasher : My father taught me to believe that everybody had them.

Dr. Tom Owen : Small towns are just like big ones, except in one way: They have less of everything.
Joan Lasher : They have enough for me.
Dr. Tom Owen : The only difference between Crowley's patients and mine is that mine pay more.
Joan Lasher : I'm sorry you see it that way.
