- Sheila Bennet: I've been waiting for you Matt.
- Matt Krane: I've got the stones.
- Sheila Bennet: You're not going anywhere, Matt. You're not going anywhere again.
- Sid Bennet: [seeing that Sheila is ill] You can use my room if you want to. But forget Matt, Sheila. He'll only mean more trouble.
- Sheila Bennet: There's some things you don't understand, Sid.
- Sid Bennet: Like the murder burning in your eyes? You look like you could kill.
- Mayor: All right then, we're ready.
- Health Commissioner Ellis: Not quite.
- Mayor: How much?
- Health Commissioner Ellis: We'll need half a million dollars to get underway. Vaccinations are free.
- Mayor: At six cents a life, that's a buy. You'll start with me.
- Dr. Ben Wood: We have to stop it. Get to the people first, beat the disease! Vaccinate the whole city.
- Dr. Penner: Eight million people? Impossible.
- Dr. Ben Wood: We've got to. This thing's getting out of hand.
- Health Commissioner Ellis: That would take hundreds of clinics.
- Dr. Ben Wood: Get them.
- Health Commissioner Ellis: And doctors.
- Dr. Ben Wood: We'll draft them.
- [leaning in]
- Dr. Ben Wood: Do it, sir. It's our only chance.
- Health Commissioner Ellis: [to Dr. Penner] Call the Commissioners of Police and Hospitals. We're going to see the Mayor.
- Dr. Penner: It's Sunday!
- Health Commissioner Ellis: No one told smallpox it's Sunday.
