Rossif Sutherland: Dr. Raoul Chevain

Quotes 

• Virginia Hall : I have no place for Madeline tonight. Do you have any more friends who might be sympathetic? An attic? A basement?

  Dr. Raoul Chevain : I have a basement. Well, since I'm doing a favor for you, I expect something in return.

  Virginia Hall : Okay.

  Dr. Raoul Chevain : You need to see someone about your limp.

  Virginia Hall : It's not a limp. It's a wooden leg.

  Dr. Raoul Chevain : Oh. I thought maybe you... you hurt it on your way into France, in parachute landing. How did it happen? Do you mind?

  Virginia Hall : I guess the question is do you mind? We're eating.

  Dr. Raoul Chevain : I'm a physician. Strong stomach.

  Virginia Hall : My family summer home is on a farm. I love to hunt, and went out with some friends to hunt birds. I'd even brought my father's favorite shotgun, barrel pointing down as I was taught to do. There was a wobbly fence. Gangrene was setting in and a decision had to be made. I was unconscious, so the doctor made it for me.

  Dr. Raoul Chevain : [in French]  I'm so sorry.

  [in English] 

  Dr. Raoul Chevain : That's devastating.

  Virginia Hall : First, I thought maybe I'd get my leg back somehow, but we all know miracles don't happen.

  Dr. Raoul Chevain : You may talk and I may listen and miracles might happen.

  Virginia Hall : [recognizing the quote]  Hemingway.

• Virginia Hall : [suspicous of Father Alesch]  I don't trust him.

  Dr. Raoul Chevain : He's a resistance fighter.

  Virginia Hall : Did you hear his accent?

  Dr. Raoul Chevain : He grew up near the border, his accent is.. is common. He's a priest, famous for his anti-Nazi sermons.

  Virginia Hall : I've never heard of him.

  Dr. Raoul Chevain : He needs our immediate help.

  Virginia Hall : I will ask Madeline to check with London. If they vouch for him, then...

  Dr. Raoul Chevain : No, no, no. That... that'll take too long. In the meantime, he may be caught and murdered.

  Virginia Hall : Raul, I'm the one responsible for the safety of every man and woman who walks in that door. It's my call to make.

• Dr. Raoul Chevain : I'm a doctor. I don't presume to know how these things are done, but we have a situation.

  Virginia Hall : What is it?

  Dr. Raoul Chevain : My friend is hiding one of yours in a basement. He got caught in the webbing of his parachute on his landing this time. Leg is shattered.

  Virginia Hall : Jesus. Can you fix him?

  Dr. Raoul Chevain : I, uh... it's too serious.

  Virginia Hall : You'll take me to him tonight.

  Dr. Raoul Chevain : Of course. After my last patient.
