  • Dr. Alex Stone: Alright, will you calm down? The officer is just doing his duty.
  • Milkman: Did you bring your handcuffs and your tear gas? This kid looks pretty tough, you know.

  • Kathleen: Poor little baby.

  • Policeman: With the greatest of pleasure.
  • Kathleen: I've got to hand it to you, doctor. You know, you may be a little hard on the outside, but on the inside I know you're a good, decent man.
  • Milkman: Well he didn't fool me for a minute. No, siree. Anybody married to Mrs. Stone has gotta be okay.
  • Kathleen: 'Tis a heart of gold you got, Mrs. Stone. Are you part Irish by any chance?
