A line from Dr. Hfuhruhurr [Grabbing an expensive vase during a marital spat]

Our marriage lies broken on the floor, like the shards of glass on our honeymoon suite! [He slams the vase to the ground, but it bounces back up into his hands.] Ahhh! Oh-ho! 19th-Century Indian rubber vase, eh?!

[Dr. Brandon is arguing with Dr. Hfuhruhurr about his performing the operation on Dolores.]

But there's only one other person I'd trust to perform this operation — Beckerman!

Well Dr. Beckerman was murdered in Europe! You know that!

Dr. Hfuhruhurr

Exactly! Not only is he dead, he's six thousand miles away!

Nonsense! If the murder of twelve innocent people can help save one human life, it will have been worth it!
