The Patient

Dr. Cameron McCarthy: "I want you to custom make some parts for me. Not like anything we've done before. May not work, and I can't pay you."
Prosthetic Consultant: "Other than that I should be excited, right? Who's the patient?"
(Shows him a photo of a dolphin, he stops smiling)

In 'Dolphin Tale,' Morgan Freeman plays Dr. Cameron McCarthy, an expert in helping soldiers recover from devastating war wounds by using prosthetics. He's never worked with marine mammals before, so he's understandably a bit concerned when Sawyer asks for his help with a dolphin.

Sawyer: "Not what?"
Dr. Cameron McCarthy: "In my right mind."

Classic quote. Dr. McCarthy knows nothing about marine life (Winter isn't a fish, she's a mammal), but he's willing to try and help anyway.
