Quote context

[...]

- I found time yesterday to give one glance round your establishment. One glance showed me how excellently it was equipped and how admirably you manage it.

- Oh, Doctor, you're too kind. No, no, no, no, no. As physician, these things concern me very closely.

- A doctor who hasn't got a first class pharmaceutical chemist to depend on is like a general fighting a battle without guns.

- Still, such a high standard of service as you provide, of course, brings its own reward as well.

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.
