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.

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.
