DeLaage : My dear doctor, I'm ready to give my wife and my friends anything I own in the world except my sense of honor and duty.

Dr. Kersaint : You know, I play a kind of chess game with the oldest gambler in the world, Mehevi. He takes Mama Rua, and I checkmate him with a baby.

Dr. Kersaint : Father Paul took your wife to the church. It seemed the safest place. I'd have gone, too, except I couldn't desert my patient.
DeLaage : That's the last you saw of her?
Dr. Kersaint : Well it grew so dark, you couldn't see the church from the reef boat. But when that bell stopped ringing all of a sudden, I knew what happened.
