- Dr. Charles Cook: I'm sorry to announce especially at this inpportune moment, that Colleen will not be joining our practice.
- Elizabeth Ann Weston Quinn: I beg your your pardon!
- Dr. Charles Cook: I have partners and they have spoken.
- Elizabeth Ann Weston Quinn: And what do they say? That Colleen isn't good enough to work beside them.
- Dr. Charles Cook: It's not a question of goodness. She is as fine of a young woman as anyone would hope to find. However my partners believe that our patients would not abide a woman doctor.
- Elizabeth Ann Weston Quinn: Then I see no problem. Colleen is not a woman doctor, as you sir are not a man doctor. She is as you and your collegues are... A doctor. Nothing more, nothing less!
