Dr. Tinkle : You may not realise it but I was once a weak man. Matron : Once a week is enough for any man.

Dr. Tinkle : [examining Dr. Bigger's back]  Slight bruising, certainly. No bleeding, good. Francis Bigger : Just like the service in here.

[romantically in the operating theatre to each other in thought and not in voice]  Matron : What a wonderful man you are, oh how I love you. Dr. Kenneth Tinkle : Oh how I love you.

Chloe Gibson : Doctor is Mr Bigger going to be alright? Dr. Kenneth Tinkle : Are you his next of kin? Chloe Gibson : Oh no but any day now. Dr. Kenneth Tinkle : What do you mean any day now? Chloe Gibson : Well me and Mr Bigger have had an understanding for a number of years and we are kind of on the verge of you know what I mean!

[On removal of the patient's bandages, he is invisible]  Dr. Tinkle : Oh. I still don't like the look of him.

Dr. Tinkle : It's an enigma, Matron, an enigma. Mr. Roper : I'm not having another one of those.
