Broderick Crawford: Dan Mathews

Quotes 

• Dr. Feuer : From the hospital's standpoint, they couldn't have picked a worse room!

  Chief Dan Mathews : What do you mean?

  Dr. Feuer : Well, it's called the boiler room, but actually it's much more than that. It controls not only heat and water, but the ventilating system and all our entire electrical power. They can cut off the oxygen tents, incubators. Why, they can do a disastrous amount of damage from that room if they discover it!

  Chief Dan Mathews : They'll discover it!

• [last lines] 

  Dan Mathews : Well, everything's okay downstairs. How is it here?

  Dr. Potter : Now one compaint, an ulcer. She demands you stop cars from backfiring in a hospital zone. It's nerve-wracking.

  Dan Mathews : Well, she's got a point. Tell 'er we're working on it, will ya?
