Quote context

[...]

- 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.

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.
No old herb women? No white witches? -Oh, nothing like that. -Good. Then the reign of medical science can begin.
I put a man to bed. I watch. I wait. Something will come of it.
