• Dr. George March : [Upon finding his wife at Dawltry's house]  There's going to be no scandal in my house. But Dawltry is leaving Khota for good!

  Philippa Crosby March : And so am I, George. And I'm also leaving YOU. I came out here in search of love, and happiness. I found instead a machine - a machine of cold steel. As cold as the instruments you use to probe the bodies of unconscious patients on operating tables... Nursing hasn't changed me from a woman. But surgery in the tropics has changed the man I came to marry. So I turned to Hugh Dawltry for the love and affection you didn't give me.

  Dr. George March : If I didn't know that you were suffering from a pathological complaint common to the tropics, I should think you were neurotic. It's just a physical heat wave!

  Dr. George March : [Now turning to glare at Hugh Dawltry]  And that CAD took advantage of it!

  Philippa Crosby March : But not of me, George. YOU did that! All you wanted was a wife. ANY woman would have done as well. And some other woman can take my place from now on!

• Philippa Crosby March : Rene is just a child.

  Dr. George March : She is eighteen. That's a woman in the tropics.

  Philippa Crosby March : But George.

  Dr. George March : The heat is bad enough on married women. But on young girls it is dynamite. It makes them man-crazy.

• Philippa Crosby March : George, I have my new shoes on.

  Dr. George March : Oh, did I step all over them?

  Philippa Crosby March : Well, there may be one tiny spot you missed.

• Dr. George March : Don't lie to me you sneaking, heathen rat!

• Dr. George March : I say, these native women have babies at the most unexpected times and places.

• Dr. George March : I will not tolerate drunken servants! Everybody has got to keep his place in this country.

• Dr. George March : Something has got to be done.

  Philippa Crosby March : Why worry about something that can't be undone?
