Quotes:

Dr. Michael Corday: [after waking his superior in the middle of the night] Look, I know you don't like me. I don't blame you. But I had to talk to somebody, that's why I came here...::Dr. Alfred Norton: ...sit down. What's wrong?::Dr. Michael Corday: Thanks.::Dr. Alfred Norton: [seeing the grim look on Corday's face, and trying to break the tension] What, did you kill somebody?::Dr. Michael Corday: [laughs nervously] No.::Dr. Alfred Norton: That's alright. I've heard about the girl. What's the trouble?::Dr. Michael Corday: My father.::Dr. Alfred Norton: Oh, I see.::Dr. Michael Corday: You see, if I get involved with her, I'm on my own. If I toe the line, I can have the residency at Chelsea. It's... well, you know what that means.::Dr. Alfred Norton: Yeah. I'd like to help you out... but nobody can make that decision - you have to make it for yourself.::Dr. Michael Corday: [Dejectedly, as he gets up to leave] You're right, I shouldn't have come here. I'm sorry. I'll just...::Dr. Alfred Norton: [takes out a bottle of whiskey] . Sit down, sit down. I'm awake now. Let's have a drink together.::Dr. Michael Corday: [smiles gently] Okay.::Dr. Alfred Norton: You know, somehow you don't seem to qualify as a distress case. A ballplayer who's lost an arm, or a painter who goes blind. Let me tell you how I feel about it. Men like your father are tops. We had them in China. But the war kind of jumbles up things. You see a chest specialist doing eye surgery in an emergency station. An endocrine man, handling an amputation. That's when I discovered something. That whether you're doing a decompression on a man's head, or removing a splinter from his finger, you're part of the greatest fraternity in the world. There's nothing like it. Why, I'd be happy in your father's shoes, or as... as a country doctor. Just as long as I was on the team.::Dr. Michael Corday: [after staring into his drink, he looks up] That's what I wanted to hear. Something like that.::Dr. Alfred Norton: Now, don't get oversold. You see, what's right for me may be wrong for you. Ask yourself honestly, what it is that you want. And what you're willing to pay for it.::Dr. Michael Corday: [smiles as he get he gets up to leave] Thanks.::Dr. Alfred Norton: [smiles] You know, every day I convert doctors to the practice of medicine.

Evelyn 'Taffy' Heldon: You can't come back again.::Dr. Michael Corday: I'm going to come back every day, twice a day. I'll give you two weeks to get strong - but you'll do everything I say and you'll eat everything I say. Then we'll be married and I'll move in here.::Evelyn 'Taffy' Heldon: You'll never be happy! This is Third Avenue. You said we had nothing in common.::Dr. Michael Corday: I was wrong.::Evelyn 'Taffy' Heldon: And you'll never drill holes in anybody's head.::Dr. Michael Corday: That's alright. I'll still be doctor - that's all that matters.

[Michael grabs Taffy, kisses her passionately and then they embrace]::Evelyn 'Taffy' Heldon: Remember, it's only platonic... I looked it up.
