Quotes 

• Dr. Leslie Thompkins : You never follow my instructions. Your Father, God rest him, he called you stubborn from the day you were born. Always used to say you had a very hard head. He didn't know the half of it!

• Dr. Leslie Thompkins : [after Batman has rescued her from a fall]  I thought I told you to take the day off!

• Dr. Leslie Thompkins : [Matt walks into the room with a syringe in his hand]  Of course, that's for me, isn't it? My payment for services rendered? You're no better than your brother.

  Matthew Thorne : I'm sorry, Leslie. I don't have any choice.

  [Matt jabs the thug holding Leslie with the syringe] 

• Dr. Matthew Thorne : [seeing a framed picture of Leslie and Thomas Wayne]  Now, that takes me back. Remember when I took this? The big AMA mixer. Graduation week at the Waldorf, remember? And they booked Benny Goodman.

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : Matt? Matt Thorne? I heard things about you, Matt. The word was you were still practicing, without a license. I heard other things, too.

  [glancing at Thorne's heavies] 

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : Looks like most of them are true. Now, about this friend in trouble...

  Dr. Matthew Thorne : It's me. Because of what a certain patient of mine will do to me if I don't operate on him. But I can't do it alone, and he won't let me check him into County.

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : So you want me to assist? Forget it.

• Dr. Matthew Thorne : It's a chance at a decent life again, Leslie. That's why.

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : And you believe him?

  Dr. Matthew Thorne : Of course. He's got a lot of important friends; judges, politicians, the Medical Society. If Rupert says he can get me my license back...

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : I meant do you believe he will?

  Dr. Matthew Thorne : Of course. He's my brother.

• Dr. Matthew Thorne : We've got to get you out of here. Come on, this way.

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : What about your brother, your license?

  Dr. Matthew Thorne : Forget it. It's not worth someone's life.

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : Now you're talking like a doctor.

• Dr. Leslie Thompkins : I'm sorry, the clinic is closed.

  Dr. Matthew Thorne : Leslie?

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : Unless this is an emergency.

  Dr. Matthew Thorne : Oh, but it is. Someone's in trouble. An old friend of yours.
