- Now, when a man pays eight francs for his doctor he does like his physic to cost something.

- Well naturally. I'm sorry to hear that.

- What did you charge Dr Parpalaid when he employed you professionally?

- We never did. Not in thirty years.

- Well, things are going to be different now.

- Are you free this morning? Mm. Good. Now then, this is what I want you to cry for me.

- Can you read my writing? It says, Dr Knock, who has taken over Dr Parpalaids' practice, presents his compliments to the inhabitants of St Maurice...

- And begs to inform them that in the public interest and with the hope of checking the alarming increase of those diseases which are now spreading through this once healthy district...

- He will give from 9.30 to 11 every Monday morning free consultation and advice. To strangers the cost will be eight francs as usual.

- Oh, that's a great scheme. They'll think a lot of that. In the public interest.

- And today's Monday and it's market day. There's a lot of country folk coming to town.

- Why, when they've heard me cry that, you won't have room for them all.

- I'll manage. The public health must be safeguarded. Nothing is more important.
