DR. QUINN: Without even saying goodbye?
DR. QUINN: Why did you even come here?
SULLY: I told you.
DR. QUINN: Well, whats the real reason?
SULLY: What do you care?
DR. QUINN: I care!

DR. QUINN: Im asking you a question.
SULLY: Why did I come?
DR. QUINN: Yes.
DR. QUINN: Because?
SULLY: Because I love you.
