Irene Franklin: Sadie

Quotes 

• Intern : Seems there's been a young riot down to Sadie's place.

  Dr. Greg Connolly : That so? Any of the girls hurt?

  Intern : A couple. Sadie too. She came in looking like a hamburger.

  Hospital Employee : Doctor, you're wanted in the emergency room.

  Dr. Greg Connolly : I'll be right there...

  Sadie Harris : [In the emergency room, Nurse Hammond dabs at Madame Sadie's blackened eye with an alcohol swab]  Whaddya wanna do? Put my eye out?

  Nurse Gloria Hammond : Sorry. Seems as if somebody already beat me to it.

  Sadie Harris : Yes, wait'll I lay my hands on him the big... begonia. Oh, isn't that doctor ever coming?

  Nurse Gloria Hammond : Dr. Connolly'll be right up. We're pretty busy here tonight.

  Sadie Harris : Lotta customers, eh? You must put on a good show.

  Nurse Gloria Hammond : I've never heard any applause.

  Dr. Greg Connolly : [Dr. Connolly enters]  I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

  Sadie Harris : Why Mr. Gregory! Fancy meeting you here!

  [Nurse Hammond furrows her brow disapprovingly at the doctor] 

  Dr. Greg Connolly : [nervously]  Why... I'm afraid you must be mistaken madam. I'm Dr. Connolly.

  Sadie Harris : Oh, uh, ok Doc. Never saw ya before.

• Sadie Harris : I wanted to see you about Miss Benton. I want her for my nurse.

  Nurse McKenna : Everyone does. She's one of our best nurses.

  Sadie Harris : Oh, I'll pay extra.

  Nurse McKenna : I think it can be arranged. I wish we had more like her. They're very hard to find.

  Sadie Harris : It's a problem, isn't it, getting good girls? I have the same trouble over at my place.

  Nurse McKenna : Oh yes, Miss Benton told me. You have sort of a... a beauty parlor?

  Sadie Harris : Yeah, I guess you *could* call it that.

  Nurse McKenna : I see.

  Sadie Harris : Ya know, your best girls are always leaving ya, setting up in business for themselves. Sometimes right across the street.

  Nurse McKenna : Oh, that's very difficult! But then the help question always is.

  Sadie Harris : You've said it!

  Nurse McKenna : I hope your shop will function alright until you return.

  Sadie Harris : Oh, it'll get along alright. It's one of those businesses that just runs itself. You know, it just rolls on and on and on.
