• [first lines] 

  Tristan Farnon : [watching James finish suturing a dog]  It's very pretty, James. I couldn't have done better myself.

  James Herriot : Ah, thank you, Farnon. Yes, you students can learn a lot from watching us professionals at work. Come on. Let's get him on a blanket.

• Mrs. Pumphrey : [on the phone]  Oh, Uncle Herriot, thank heavens I found you in. It's Tricki. He's desperately ill. And is not fluff-bot again, nor 'tall like a timed-win cracker dog. No, he's worse, much worse!

  James Herriot : Can you describe the symptoms, please?

  [listens] 

  James Herriot : Is he vomiting?

  Mrs. Pumphrey : Yes, all the time. And his poor lungs, they're pumping away like bellows.

  James Herriot : Right. Well, I'll get up there as quickly as I can.

  Mrs. Pumphrey : Oh, you are kind. Thank you, Mr. Herriot.

  [to her dog] 

  Mrs. Pumphrey : Tricki darling, Uncle Herriot's on his way to see you.

  [to James] 

  Mrs. Pumphrey : Oh! He's just tried to wag his tail.

  James Herriot : Goodbye, Mrs. Pumphrey.
