The Naked Kiss (1964)

Patsy Kelly: Mac

Quotes 

• Mac, Head Nurse : [Referring to Kelly, who, in spite of her shady background, has quickly landed a job at the local children's hospital]  She came out of the clouds one night, without a single reference. I hired her on the spot.

  Capt. Griff : [Suspiciously]  I thought orthopedics called for specialized training?

  Mac, Head Nurse : Oh, it does! Some people are born to write books, symphonies; paint pictures, build bridges. But Kelly... She was born to handle children with crutches and babies in braces.

  Capt. Griff : [Still not convinced]  Sounds like one of those sweet Florence Nightingales.

  Mac, Head Nurse : Not Kelly, she's tough! Runs her ward like a pirate ship! She makes Captain Bligh look like a sissy.

• Miss Josephine : [Ohh]  He's a hard worker: He's no playboy, Miss Kelly! His very name is a synonym for charity. He's got the biggest heart in the world. Why, he built our hospital: he built the orthopaedic medical centre: funded by all himself - it's open to all handicapped children; no racial or religious barriers.

  Kelly : Handicapped children?

  Miss Josephine : It's a haven of hope for those angels; so little, so helpless and so .. crippled.

  [fade to black] 

  Mac, Head Nurse : [Change of scene]  Nurse .. one more operation and child will have straightened feet.
