Quote context

[...]

- That's why he brought himself to leave the district at all, when he might have gone on making a fortune here.

- Yes, you're in luck, you know, a wonderful practice this, a settled connection, all to yourself.

- Not another doctor near.

- A chemist who sticks to his job.

- And a town you can't spend money in if you try.

- No costly amusement.

- Why, in six months' time, you'll have saved what the practice has cost you twice over.

- The air here is very bracing, you can feel it.

- If you're a weakly child, you die in the first six months, before the doctor has time to do much for you. If you survive the first six months, well, you take a lot of killing.

- Apoplexies, bad hearts, oh yes, people who are certain there's nothing the matter with them just fall down dead when they're fifty.

- But you've not made your fortune by writing death certificates.

- Ha, ha, ha, no, of course not.

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.
