- Dr. Max Askey: One of the few advantages of being the only doctor in the district is that eventually, if you wait long enough, all the people that say that they hate you turn up on your doorstep with kidney stones or an anal abscess or something that's giving them terrible bother.
- Deborah Voysey: When shall we see you again?
- Dr. Max Askey: As soon as your husband contracts his next fatal illness, I suppose.

- Sally Voysey: Do something, then. Find something to do.
- Deborah Voysey: Here? Good heavens -- what?
