Dr. Donald Middleton:
Finishing your dinner off the mantelpiece?
Elsa Middleton: I'm not as ancient and decrepit as you thought, is that what you mean?
Dr. Donald Middleton: How'd your old riding outfit work this morning?
Elsa Middleton: I can just squeeze into it, thank you kindly. You know, Don, I wish you'd go riding with me, or... or something.
Dr. Donald Middleton: Me riding would be something.

Dr. Donald Middleton:
I'm taking the day off, Boynton, on important business.
Sarah Boynton: But, Doctor...
Dr. Donald Middleton: I said important business.
Sarah Boynton: But, Doctor...
Dr. Donald Middleton: I said important business.
Dr. Donald Middleton:
Look at this. A few months ago, that would've meant everything in the world to me.
Sarah Boynton: It's the fellowship! Congratulations!
Dr. Donald Middleton: Yeah, congratulations, it's swell.
Sarah Boynton: For once I'm going to talk to you not as your assisstant, but as your friend. It's not worthy of you to act this way.
Dr. Donald Middleton: Please, Boynton, don't interfere.
Sarah Boynton: Don't interfere? Do you expect me to stand idly by and watch you ruin your life? I understand what's going on between your wife and Mr. Brent.
Dr. Donald Middleton: Keep quiet! What right have you...
Sarah Boynton: What right have I? Because I love you.
Sarah Boynton: It's the fellowship! Congratulations!
Dr. Donald Middleton: Yeah, congratulations, it's swell.

Dr. Donald Middleton:
That job needed us both, Boynton.
Sarah Boynton: I wish you wouldn't call me that.
Dr. Donald Middleton: Why not?
Sarah Boynton: Because I have a real name, you know. It's Sarah.
Dr. Donald Middleton: All right, Sarah. Goodnight. Oh, and don't let me forget to fill out that report on the measles case tomorrow. Remind me in the morning, will you, Boynton?
Sarah Boynton: Yes, Doctor.
Sarah Boynton: I wish you wouldn't call me that.
Dr. Donald Middleton: Why not?
Sarah Boynton: Because I have a real name, you know. It's Sarah.

Dr. Donald Middleton:
This experiment is only based on a sort of a hunch.
Sarah Boynton: All scientific experiments are based on a sort of a hunch. Backed up with knowledge and effort and patience.
Dr. Donald Middleton: This means a great deal to me, Boynton. If it works, it means the Guggenheim Fellowship. You don't know how much I used to dream about going abroad to study. Heidelberg, Vienna. Magic words once. Now I'm married and have to settle down to being a small-time doctor in a little town.
Sarah Boynton: I know.
Dr. Donald Middleton: At first I thought I might save enough. But then the baby came.
Sarah Boynton: I know.
Dr. Donald Middleton: Oh, I'm not regretting anything, make no mistake about that. My wife and Molly are... Well, I'm a lucky stiff, Boynton. You know that, don't you?
Sarah Boynton: Yes, Doctor.
