  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.

  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.

• Male Nurse : [Onlookers at a party comment on how romantic the dancing couple appear, but between the two dancers we hear him say]  I grabbed an appendix the other day, it was the nastiest looking thing you ever saw. Well after I yanked it out, I then examined the cavity and found that I had to break up a lot of adhesions.

  Nurse Gloria Hammond : [She responds with eye closed dreamily]  How perfectly marvelous.

• Nurse Beulah Schloss : [admiring Ethel's diamond bracelet]  Ooh, who played Santa Claus?

  Nurse Beulah Schloss : You never learn that kind of reading at school.

  Nurse Gloria Hammond : They call that the "*touch* system", don't they?
