- [Ray is fixing the asylum's telephone]
- Allyson King: You know, I used to live in this place where the phone man was always coming around.
- Ray Daniels: That bad, huh?
- Allyson King: Uh uh... that good.
- Ray Daniels: Oh, I thought that you meant that you'd had a lot of phone trouble.
- Allyson King: Hell, I didn't even have a phone!
- Nurse Charlotte Beale: Do you get out much, Mrs. Callingham?
- Mrs. Callingham: You're the one who needs to get out!
- Allyson King: You're all alike. Danny... Jaffee... ALL of you! HYPOCRITES! And you, trying to be so damn pure. Get out! GET OUT!
- [repeated line]
- Judge Oliver W. Cameron: My name is... Oliver... W... Cameron. Juror's consult. Abjudicator of the court of appeals. Doctor of jurisprudence.
- Nurse Charlotte Beale: [about Jennifer] Is she beyond help?
- Dr. Geraldine S. Masters: Beyond help? To say that means that we've given up, and we never give up. No one's beyond if we're always getting closer.
- Dr. Geraldine S. Masters: We live very simply here, Miss Beale. Our patients are all people who are unloved, unwanted, forgotten. So we're a family. They're family.
- Dr. Geraldine S. Masters: [proposing a lobotomy for Charlotte] Oh, Sam! Sam, she's so sick! So sick. We've - we've got to help her, Sam. Go in and cut out the sickness and return her to innocence. Like you!
- Sam: NO, DEANIE!
- Mrs. Callingham: Up the airy mountain, down the rushy glen, we dare not go a hunting, for fear of little men!
- Dr. Geraldine S. Masters: You're upset, Allyson. I, I think you'd better go to your room. I'll, I'll get you something to help you sleep.
- Allyson King: No. I'm not going anywhere. You're not going to touch me. We know all about that sleep. Your little doctor bit's over. Yeah, that's right. I told Miss Beale. She knows.
- Dr. Geraldine S. Masters: What does she know? Does she know how I worked? How I trained? To be the best? And I could have been. Except for one, insignificant life. One mistake. I could have saved thousands. And I will. I'll help everyone. I'll help you, Allyson.
- Dr. Geraldine S. Masters: [menacing Charlotte] Look at me. Do you see a saint, who cures the incurable? Supreme authority? Only the faithful live here. Only he who honors me. Faithful. Faith, before a saint!
- Sam: Deanie, is she bad?
- Dr. Geraldine S. Masters: Oh, she's sick! She's filthy! Take her upstairs. We'll correct her conscience.
