Dr. Bill Harford: Are you sure of that?
Alice Harford: Am I sure? Only as sure as I am that the reality of one night, let alone that of a whole lifetime, can ever be the whole truth.
Dr. Bill Harford: And no dream is ever just a dream.

Gayle: Do you know what's so nice about doctors?

Dr. Bill Harford: You're probably right.

Sandor Szavost: Don't you think one of the charms of marriage is that it makes deception a necessity for both parties? May I ask why a beautiful woman who could have any man in this room wants to be married?

Marion: I love you. I don't want to go away with Carl.
Dr. Bill Harford: Marion, I don't think you realize...
Marion: I do, even if I'm never to see you again, I want at least to live near you.
Dr. Bill Harford: Marion, listen to me, listen to me. You're very upset right now and I don't think you realize what you're saying.
Marion: I love you.
Dr. Bill Harford: We barely know each other. I don't think we've had a single conversation about anything except your father.
Marion: I love you.

Victor Ziegler: Sure! What would you like?
Dr. Bill Harford: Uh, I'll have a little scotch.
Victor Ziegler: Good. How do you take it, neat?
