[first lines] Mrs. Bellamy: I truly don't even know why I'm here, doctor. [pen scraping] Mrs. Bellamy: Well, of course it's difficult running a large household by oneself. And raising four children is exacting, but they're wonderful, wonderful children. And my husband, he's a good man. A very hard worker. Um... Ahem. Well, there is just one thing. Sometimes at night, when he comes to me, I imagine myself splitting his fat bald head with a great large ax. [pen scraping]
Edmund St. John-Smythe: [brainstorming] The Rubby-Nubby. Mortimer Granville: The Vibratorium. Edmund St. John-Smythe: The Jiggly-Wiggly? Mortimer Granville: Paroxysmator. Edmund St. John-Smythe: Oh, the Sorcerer's Apprentice. Mortimer Granville: The Excitetator? Edmund St. John-Smythe: Mr. Wobbly. Mortimer Granville: Oh, please. Edmund St. John-Smythe: What about, The Squealer?
Charlotte Dalrymple: For us it's mindless housework and doting on some halfwit. Mortimer Granville: You can make some halfwit very happy. Charlotte Dalrymple: It's simply not enough for me, or for most women. Would it be enough for you? Mortimer Granville: Oh, I'm not most women.
Molly: What do you call that little thing? Mortimer Granville: I was calling it the feather duster. Molly: Well I'd think of something quick, so that a girl knows what to ask for.
[last lines] Dr. Robert Dalrymple: Well, all's well that ends well. Ah, fresh air and perambulation, the key to mental acuity and long life. Lady St. John-Smythe: If you say so, doctor. Dr. Robert Dalrymple: Oh look, ducks...
Charlotte Dalrymple: I'm fine. I have lots of friends in prison.
Mortimer Granville: Sir, I would be enormously grateful for any position that allowed me to offer relief to my patients, with little chance of killing them.
Female Patient: Can't you understand it's an emergency? The situation is desperate. Nurse Smalley: It's completely impossible, madam. Female Patient: I'll do anything.
