:11:02
What?
:11:04
- What else can a man think?
- I'm going back to medicine.
:11:06
- What do you mean, medicine?
- A little laboratory on a farm in Vermont.
:11:10
Medical Research Bureau is backing me.
Fisher will do the pathology.
:11:14
Incidentally, the best man
in the country.
:11:18
How many men would give their eyeteeth
for a practice you're throwing away?
:11:21
- What is this research, actually?
- Cells.
:11:24
- Cells?
- Brain cells.
:11:26
Why do healthy, normal cells go berserk,
grow wild? Do you know?
:11:30
- No.
- Nobody knows!
:11:31
But we call them cysts and gliomas
and tumors and cancers.
:11:34
We hope to cure with the knife
when we don't even know the cause.
:11:38
Our patients have faith in us
because we're doctors and... .
:11:41
Tell the boys they can split up
my practice. And welcome.
:11:46
You and Pasteur.
:11:47
Someday, somebody will discover
a serum that will be to these growths...
:11:51
...what insulin is to diabetes
and antitoxin is to diphtheria.
:11:54
And maybe earn his title of
Doctor of Medicine.
:11:56
- Yes?
- Dr. Parsons is here.
:11:58
- He is?
- He insists.
:12:01
Well, I suppose I should be polite.
:12:03
- I must be going.
- Your train.
:12:05
Yes, I know.
:12:08
- So long, Fred, old boy. You'll be back.
- Don't hold your breath.
:12:13
- Good luck, old man.
- Thanks.
:12:19
- Fred, can't you put this thing off?
- Sorry, doctor, I've closed my office.
:12:24
- Have you read the case history?
- Oh, you mean this gossip sheet?
:12:27
- A wire manufacturer's daughter?
- Oh, please, never mind that.
:12:30
This girl's desperately ill.
:12:32
I've been watching her like a hawk,
and she's been losing ground each day.
:12:37
Well, if two minutes
will do you any good, I'll talk.
:12:40
- What's this about headaches?
- She's been having them persistently.
:12:44
- Even before the accident, I suspect.
- Before?
:12:48
She calls them hangovers.
:12:52
Three weeks? And you wait until now?
:12:54
You don't know that girl.
She's a very stubborn patient.
:12:58
Only yesterday she went to a revival
of Cyrano in the afternoon...
