- Clinic Doctor: If you'd lived a hundred years ago, I wouldn't have been able to help you. Even a short a time as 20 years ago, the cure would have been prolonged and painful. But, now, thanks to modern medicine, and the fact that we caught your case early, we'll be able to lick it.
- Dr. Monk Monahan: Jim and Judy really got along. And I had eyes for Kathy and, well, she had eyes for Jim.
- Clinic Doctor: We're not here to pass moral judgement. We're here to stamp out VD.
- Dr. Monk Monahan: It had a happy ending. But, that's how it happened. It happened to Jim. It happened to Kathy. And it happened to me. In the Summer of '63.
- Dr. Monk Monahan: Two other diseases for which there are absolute cures are syphilis and gonorrhea. But, these two diseases remain with us needlessly and to an alarming degree. The obvious reason for this is the highly personal aspect of venereal disease and the consequent reluctance of many people to seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as they suspect the slightest possibility of having it. Yes the cure is here and it can be achieved as a private matter between patient and doctor.
- Dr. Monk Monahan: It was back in the late Summer of '63 when I started my last year of high school. I know that what happened then alerted me to a new awareness of medicine. How people could be ill without showing it and without others knowing it.
- Monk Monahan: Oh, man, what a night! That's what I call livin'!
- Friend: Pretty stupid, if you ask me.
- Monk Monahan: What's with you?
- Friend: I don't know. It just didn't seem right.
- Monk Monahan: Huh, get him?
- Jim: I know what he means. Something like that shouldn't - well, it was like animals!
- Monk Monahan: Well, so, what do you want?
- Jim: Well, I just think it ought to be more - that's all.
- Jim: About a week ago I noticed this small sore. You suppose I could have picked up something from Luanna?
- Monk Monahan: Oh, you really are in a sweat! You break train and get a pimple and panic!
- Clinic Doctor: You don't get syphilis from spoons, dirty glasses, or toilet seats. You get it during sexual intercourse with an infected woman.
- Jim: I guess I got it at Sea View - from a prostitute.
- Clinic Doctor: I see. Have you had intercourse with any other girl since then?
- Jim: No, sir.
- Clinic Doctor: You're sure?
- Jim: Yes, sir!
- Clinic Doctor: It's important Jim. Our biggest problem in controlling venereal disease is breaking the chain. If we can contact the people who have been exposed to it, then, we can keep it from spreading. Otherwise, there's no telling how many people will become infected.
- Dr. Monk Monahan: Of course, there were drinks - and - more drinks. And we hadn't started out looking for girls; but, there happened to be these two hanging around that club.
- Luanna, Blonde Prostitute: You've never had a girl before.
- Jim: Sure I have.
- Luanna, Blonde Prostitute: I could make you happy.
- Kathy: Just where were you two lovers?
- Monk Monahan: Sea View. Whew! Did we have a ball! Who-who!
- Judy: You didn't say anything about Sea View?
- Monk Monahan: Hey! Hey, tell her about Luanna.
- Kathy: I think you've said enough, Monk.
- Judy: What about Luanna?
- Jim: Just a girl we met, that's all.
- Monk Monahan: And today he is a man. We are all men!
- [laughs]
- Kathy: It's Monk's fault. He and his big mouth.
- Jim: She'd have found out sooner or later.
- Kathy: Well, it's still too bad it had to spoil your beach party.
- Jim: She just won't understand. It didn't mean anything.
- Kathy: I understand.
- Jim: Sometimes you have to let off steam.
- Kathy: I know. Hey, let's get another beer and take a walk, huh?
- Jim: I can't make it Kathy?
- Kathy: Why not?
- Jim: I just can't.
- Kathy: Well, isn't that just like a man! Nice to them and they step all over you! Well how about you lover?
- Monk Monahan: Oh, but, natch!
- Jim: I think its important to live life while you can still enjoy it.
- Judy: Yeah, I know. You know, my folks always postpone the things they want in life. You know, Mom's always wanted to go to Europe; but, Dad says I'll have to wait till I grow up. Well, they'll wait, I'll grow up; but, they'll never go.
- Monk Monahan: Hey, why don't we have a last gala weekend, celebrating your bachelorhood? Let's dig outta this town!
- Jim: You know, I'll be glad when you do get your wheels back.
- Monk Monahan: You think I won't? No kiddin' lets just take off!
- Jim: I haven't got that kind of money.
- Monk Monahan: That is no problem!
- [pulls out a twenty dollar bill]
- Monk Monahan: You'll pay me later.
- Jim: Now, where'd you get that kind of bread?
- Monk Monahan: My mother felt sorry for me.
