• Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : [Grant has just arrived at the hospital; Joanna doesn't know he's right outside, behind a one-way mirror]  You mean to tell me that I have no medical recourse...?

  Grant Stayton : Can she see us?

  Cop at Hospital : Not unless she's Superwoman.

  Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : Well, what DO you know? Extend your brain a teensy little bit, if possible!

  Doctor at Hospital : You seem to be suffering from a temporary amnesia, either from the bump against the garbage scow, or the shock of the cold water.

  Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : How temporary is it?

  Doctor at Hospital : We don't know. Other than that, you seem to be in excellent physical shape.

  Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : Listen to me, medical people. As of now, I have a life history of a dirty garbage scow and a breakfast of extremely runny eggs over-easy. Now, I refuse - REFUSE

  [angrily tosses a cup against the wall] 

  Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : - to be incarcerated in this semi-private room -

  [turns to the only other patient in the room] 

  Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : You snore! - while there are no efforts being made by anyone to try and locate...!

  Cop at Hospital : [lowers the outside speaker volume, then turns to Grant]  Is that her?

  Joanna Stayton/Annie Proffitt : I demand you do something! Do you hear me?

  Grant Stayton : [to the cop]  Nooo, I never saw her before in my life.

  [leaves the hospital; later, back on the yacht] 

  Grant Stayton : Mrs. Stayton has decided to leave me. Let's celebrate!

• [the officer at the hospital pulls out the photos and Joanna's panties from a parcel envelope] 

  Cop at Hospital : Nice panties! J.S., she didn't know what that meant?

  Dean Proffitt : See she wouldn't, I bought them for her at a garage sale.

  Cop at Hospital : Yeah, I bought my wife a garter at a yard sale once too.

  Dean Proffitt : I'm sure you did.

• Doctor at Hospital : Look, if it were up to us, we'd be glad to give her to you but she's right

  Cop at Hospital : I'm going to need some verification

  Dean Proffitt : Hey, I know what you mean. I have never told anybody this, but she has a small strawberry shaped birthmark on her left cheek, it's unique.

  [Joanna goes behind the television to check if she had a birthmark and sees Dean was right] 

  Dean Proffitt : Come to Daddy!

  [the doctor and the cop high five each other in celebration]
