- Patty Lane: [sighs] How can I ever thank you, Doctor?
- Dr. Morgan: By taking a nap. I want you to get plenty of rest before the operation tomorrow.
- Patty Lane: Okay. But you know what you just did? You saved my reputation.
- [sighs]
- Dr. Morgan: Reputation?
- Patty Lane: As the biggest liar in Brooklyn Heights High School. Oh, boy. What am I going to tell the kids when I get back to school?
- Dr. Morgan: Well, I imagine a girl as talented as you can think of something. Why don't you tell them you dumped me?
- Patty Lane: Mm-mm. They've seen you.
- Dr. Morgan: Well, you could tell them, uh...
- Patty Lane: I've got it! The letter...
- Dr. Morgan: What letter?
- Patty Lane: The letter from Dr. Schweitzer inviting you to come to his jungle hospital and work with him. What choice did I have? I couldn't keep you from dedicating your life to such a worthy cause. So I decided to be noble and give you up to the world. We discussed it, like intelligent, sophisticated, civilized people, and came to the only conclusion possible: that each of us must go on his own way, pursue his own life, knowing that a broken heart will mend in time.
