- Siegfried Farnon: You gave them all the injection, did you James?
- James Herriot: For what it's worth.
- Siegfried Farnon: Oh, the books speak very well of it. Chloroform to stupefy the worms, turpentine to kill them, creosote to cause the cough that expels them.

- James Herriot: No. Do you?
- Helen Alderson: No.
- James Herriot: I love you!
- Helen Alderson: I know that!
