00:31There's a passion in me that couldn't be satisfied in a life with him, because it doesn't belong to one person.
00:38I want to be a nurse more than anything else in the world.
00:42You must be mad to go to the front now.
00:44I can't put it off any longer. Something must be done for the soldiers out there.
00:48Well, what's going to happen to your work here? You don't want to see the whole organization collapse?
00:52Dr. Hunt, you have typhoid cases here.
00:55Yes.
00:56Had you assigned Miss Nightingale to this hospital?
00:59Yes, I did it on purpose. If she wants to be a nurse, let her prove it.
01:02Miss Nightingale is a personal friend of mine. Your treatment of her is outrageous.
01:07You'll leave for the front tomorrow.

01:51hoping that their incompetence would upset my work and give you a chance of condemning it
01:56which merely goes to prove what i've been saying to mr lefroy that women are unbalanced and thoroughly
02:02unsuited to be nurses if what i've done is to be judged by anyone it will not be judged by you
02:09but by the people of england
