Quote context

[...]

- But I don't understand. Where do they all come from?

- All over the place.

- Everyone's heard of Dr. Knock. And they all want to consult him.

- They don't always know what's wrong with them, but they all know there's something. And it's lucky for them Dr. Knock's here to advise them.

- Oh? Why?

- The way they were going on and never giving a thought to it. Eating things and drinking things and doing everything they shouldn't.

- Why, Dr. Parpalaid! I thought it was a ghost.

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.
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.
No old herb women? No white witches? -Oh, nothing like that. -Good. Then the reign of medical science can begin.
