Quotes 

• [Martin and Louisa are in the back of a taxi. Louisa leans over and kisses Martin passionately] 

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : I'm assuming you have a regular dental hygiene routine.

  Louisa Glasson : Well obviously not in the last few hours, but thank you very much - yes I have.

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : Well that would suggest rhinositis or gastro-oesophagal reflux.

  Louisa Glasson : Are you saying I've got bad breath?

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : I just think it would be wise to rule out any infections of the aero-digestive tract. Obviously a dietary explanation would be the happiest outcome.

  [Louisa looks very offended. She gets the taxi to stop, and makes Martin get out and walk] 

• Louisa Glasson : So how come you got a thing about blood?

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : It's just a minor anxiety disorder resulting from overexposure to a high-pressure environment.

  Louisa Glasson : Surgery.

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : [nods]  I was operating on a woman one day. Simple procedure. I went to see her in the ward beforehand. Her family were there; her husband, her sister and her son; and they were clinging to her. Wouldn't let go. Next time I saw her she was prepped and laid out before me on the operating table and I couldn't do it. I haven't been able to operate since actually, which is a shame because it's the only thing I was ever any good at.

• Louisa Glasson : What are you doing? He's nine years old.

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : All right. Take him to the hospital.

  Louisa Glasson : What?

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : Obviously nine-year-olds and nursery teachers know better than I do. Take him to the hospital, have him checked over there.
