- [At 5:00AM Laura answers the doorbell to find Rob]
- Laura Petrie: [with false civility] Hi.
- Rob Petrie: I was so proud. I dressed, I shaved, and I packed, and I got out without wakin' you up.
- Laura Petrie: And you were so proud, you had to come back and tell me, huh?
- Buddy Sorrell: Listen, go ahead and laugh at my chicken soup. They laughed at Louis Pasteur, but he went right ahead and invented milk.
- Laura Petrie: [finding Rob, still in his coat, laid out on the bed] Oh, Rob!
- Rob Petrie: [waking] Huh?
- Laura Petrie: What are you doing?
- Rob Petrie: Taking a shower.
- [Laura kisses Rob's forehead]
- Rob Petrie: Is that affection or were you taking my temperature?
- Laura Petrie: Both. Temperature's still 103 but... let's see, the affection's about 97.4.
- Rob Petrie: Isn't that a little low for affection?
- Laura Petrie: Well, with a fever of 103, you couldn't take much more.
- Rob Petrie: How can I get rid of a 24-hour virus before I get home?
- Buddy Sorrell: Don't go home for twenty-four hours.
- Rob Petrie: Millie, you're woman. You know that the 24-hour virus is not as painful as a two-week cold shoulder.
