- Bob Dakin: I guess you're just a funny little kid.
- Kay Brannan: That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.
- Kay Brannan: No, but just the thought of feeling you're able to take poor, sick bodies and put them together, and have them put all their trust in you... when they're scared and clinging to life - that's a marvelous thing.

- Kay Brannan: I never was. But I was getting to be.
- Bob Dakin: Forgive me?
- Kay Brannan: Of course.
