Quote context

[...]

- We now continue Theater Royal with your host, Sir Ralph Richardson.

- It was a matter of some pride to me, the way in which I was able to extend my practice those first two months...

- And I can quite truthfully say that the number of patients who placed themselves in my hand was the clearest possible proof of their implicit belief in the efficacy of medical science.

- Yes, we come from the big farm on the road to Luchere, me and my husband.

- A farm like that now must mean a lot of work.

- Oh, it does. Eighteen cows, the bull, the fat stock, there's a mare in foal, we've got goats and pigs on the poultry.

- And no one to help you?

- Oh, why, of course. Three men and a girl in the house, and more for the hay and the harvest.

- So many? Hmm... But it doesn't leave you much time to look after yourself, and you feel ill.

- Blown? Oh, yes, of course, blown.

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.

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.
