Intern: Seems there's been a young riot down to Sadie's place.
Dr. Greg Connolly: That so? Any of the girls hurt?
Intern: A couple. Sadie too. She came in looking like a hamburger.
Hospital Employee: Doctor, you're wanted in the emergency room.
Dr. Greg Connolly: I'll be right there...
Sadie Harris: [In the emergency room, Nurse Hammond dabs at Madame Sadie's blackened eye with an alcohol swab] Whaddya wanna do? Put my eye out?
Nurse Gloria Hammond: Sorry. Seems as if somebody already beat me to it.
Sadie Harris: Yes, wait'll I lay my hands on him the big... begonia. Oh, isn't that doctor ever coming?
Nurse Gloria Hammond: Dr. Connolly'll be right up. We're pretty busy here tonight.
Sadie Harris: Lotta customers, eh? You must put on a good show.
Nurse Gloria Hammond: I've never heard any applause.
Dr. Greg Connolly: [Dr. Connolly enters] I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
Sadie Harris: Why Mr. Gregory! Fancy meeting you here!
[Nurse Hammond furrows her brow disapprovingly at the doctor]
Dr. Greg Connolly: [nervously] Why... I'm afraid you must be mistaken madam. I'm Dr. Connolly.
Sadie Harris: Oh, uh, ok Doc. Never saw ya before.

Sadie Harris: I wanted to see you about Miss Benton. I want her for my nurse.
Nurse McKenna: Everyone does. She's one of our best nurses.
Sadie Harris: Oh, I'll pay extra.
Nurse McKenna: I think it can be arranged. I wish we had more like her. They're very hard to find.
Sadie Harris: It's a problem, isn't it, getting good girls? I have the same trouble over at my place.
Nurse McKenna: Oh yes, Miss Benton told me. You have sort of a... a beauty parlor?
Sadie Harris: Yeah, I guess you *could* call it that.
Nurse McKenna: I see.
Sadie Harris: Ya know, your best girls are always leaving ya, setting up in business for themselves. Sometimes right across the street.
Nurse McKenna: Oh, that's very difficult! But then the help question always is.
Sadie Harris: You've said it!
Nurse McKenna: I hope your shop will function alright until you return.
Sadie Harris: Oh, it'll get along alright. It's one of those businesses that just runs itself. You know, it just rolls on and on and on.
