People Will Talk

Doctor Noah Praetorius:
How old were you when you learned to walk?

Arthur Higgins:
I could get around alright at four.

Doctor Noah Praetorius:
And how old were you when you left the farm?

Arthur Higgins:
Sixteen.

Doctor Noah Praetorius:
Surely it didn't take you twelve years to make up your mind!

Doctor Noah Praetorius:
Professor Elwell, you are the only man I know who can say 'malignant' the way other people say 'Bingo!'.

Doctor Noah Praetorius:
I consider faith properly injected into a patient as effective in maintaining life as Adrenaline, and a belief in miracles has been the difference between living and dying as often as any surgeon's scalpel.

Professor Barker:
Elwell, you can use more words more unpleasantly than any irritating little pipsqueak I've ever known!

Shunderson:
Professor Elwell, you're a little man. It's not that you're short. You're...little, in the mind and in the heart. Tonight, you tried to make a man little whose boots you couldn't touch if you stood on tiptoe on top of the highest mountain in the world. And as it turned out...you're even littler than you were before.

" I never felt more alive than when I was dying."

- Dr. Pretorious

Dr. Elwell to Miss Pikett (former Housekeeper) when she refused to talk to Dr. Elwell in his office if the door would be closed.

Dr. Elwell, "You overestimate both of us".
