Quotes
-
Mr. Lannington : So you're quite sure of your feelings? I mean, you know, people sometimes get... carried away. Come to their senses again with a jolt.
Jeff Cameron : Mr. Lannington, I want to marry your daughter.
Mr. Lannington : I wish you'd stop calling her my daughter. She happens to be my wife.

Jeff Cameron : [drinking a cocktail in a tropical-themed restaurant] These things are like water.
Waiter : They creep up on you.
Jeff Cameron : Bring me a couple more.
Waiter : But, sir, you have four and we are only allowed two to a customer.
Jeff Cameron : Why?
Waiter : That drink makes a guy talk back to his mother-in-law.
Jeff Cameron : What about his father-in-law?
Waiter : I suppose so.
Jeff Cameron : You've given me an idea.
-
Jeff Cameron : [rubbing his head] My head hurts. Feels like it's exploding.
[looking out the car window]
Jeff Cameron : Aren't we going pretty fast?
Margo : We *need* to go fast.
-
Jeff Cameron : Look, I want you, not the money.
Margo : Money can help. It'd be awfully tough for a young doctor, Jeff.
Jeff Cameron : I've aged considerably in the last five minutes.
Margo : Poverty's sordid. If you were broke...
Jeff Cameron : I will be, I promise you.
-
Margo : I won't leave you. I'll be with you always.
Jeff Cameron : Yeah. Well, 'always' won't be for long if we don't get rid of this car.
-
Jeff Cameron : It all fits in, all the symptoms. I didn't fall in love with a woman - I fell in love with a patient.

[repeated lines]
Jeff Cameron : [to a stray cat] Hello, kitty.

Margo : [as their ride across the border to Mexico looks imminent] Darling, there's nothing more to worry about.
Jeff Cameron : We've got *everything* to worry about.
Margo : What, Jeff? Money? You don't know. There's thousands for us in a bank in Mexico City. In my name. "Margo Lyncott." My maiden name, Jeff. And it's *my* signature.
Jeff Cameron : I don't understand this.
Margo : It was his heart. His heart was so bad. And he was working against me. You saw that. I was afraid he'd change his will. So I put his money away - every week, every month - for years. Everything is breaking for us now!

[last lines]
Jeff Cameron : [from his hospital bed after learning that he will be all right] Can I send flowers to San Francisco?
Dr. Matthews : [nodding positively] I think so.
Jeff Cameron : [reaching for a prewritten piece of paper underneath his pillow and handing it to the doctor] Wait a minute. Here's the address.
Dr. Matthews : [to Jeff as he opens the door to walk out of the room] This should be an easy prescription to fill.
Julie Dorn : [as the doctor has just walked out into the hallway knowing she was there waiting] How is he, doctor?
Dr. Matthews : Well enough to send you flowers.
Julie Dorn : Flowers?
Dr. Matthews : [handing her the paper] Just one.
Julie Dorn : [smiling as she reads the order] A white rose. He he well enough to have visitors?
Dr. Matthews : Just one. You.
[Julie smiles as she walks to then opens the closed door]
