Quote context

[...]

- Good. Now you've nothing else to tell me? No queer religion, superstitions, orders of druids and things like that?

- No old herb women? No white witches?

- Oh, nothing like that.

- Good. Then the reign of medical science can begin.

- I am strongly convinced that St. Maurice offers more opportunities than you think.

- You, sir, should be leaving here with your pockets full of gold and you, madam, with three rows of pearls around your neck in an expensive limousine.

- Oh, we shall see. I shall be back in three months for my first installment.

- Obviously there was no time to be lost.

- And before any results could be expected there were one or two alliances to be formed. I began to make them forthwith.

- So you are the town crier?

- Yes, Mr Knock.

- Dr. Knock!

- When I speak to you please answer 'yes, doctor' or 'no, doctor'. And when you talk of me say 'the doctor did this' or 'the doctor said so and so'. It's the thing I'm most particular about.

- Er, yes doctor.

- Now then, what did you make of my predecessor here, Dr Parpalaid? Not much I didn't. Some did.

- But you'd come here to see him and nine times out of ten he'd say be off with you. There's nothing wrong with you. You'll be all right tomorrow, he'd say.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Top rated lines from this movie

Here in this town live some hundreds of people, a featureless, meaningless mess of humanity. What is my task? To rescue and resolve each one of them into a scientific individuality, into a medical existence of his own.
Do you suppose they even know what a microbe is? -I doubt it. Some of them may have heard the word, but I expect they think it's a sort of fly.
But now, like an organist at his keyboard, I pull a stop, I touch a note, and from far off, the sounds respond.
I put a man to bed. I watch. I wait. Something will come of it.
When I speak to you please answer 'yes, doctor' or 'no, doctor'. And when you talk of me say 'the doctor did this' or 'the doctor said so and so'. It's the thing I'm most particular about. -Er, yes doctor.
