  • Dr. Corey T. McBain: I was called here to examine a two-year-old child.

  • Dr. Corey T. McBain: This? This is an infant of about 8 or 9 months.
  • Elizabeth 'Liza' Madden: Oh, yes, yes, that was a slight mistake about the age. She's so smart that I always think of her as being much older.

  • Dr. Corey T. McBain: I always thought reporters wore their hats on the back of their heads
  • Elizabeth 'Liza' Madden: Oh, that's just in the movies.
  • Dr. Corey T. McBain: I wanted something too, once - something I couldn't have.
  • Elizabeth 'Liza' Madden: A baby?
  • Dr. Corey T. McBain: No, not a baby -- rabbits. Three hundred and sixty-five thousand, four hundred and twenty-two rabbits.
  • Elizabeth 'Liza' Madden: You're on the dock, Bluebeard. What number am I?
  • Dr. Corey T. McBain: Two.
  • Elizabeth 'Liza' Madden: I must be the last. We were just married this morning. There'd hardly be time for a third.
  • Elizabeth 'Liza' Madden: Nobody who likes rabbits could be very vicious.
