Dr. Marchaud: [taking Grandpere's pulse] I've warned you before: it's bad enough for a young man to burn the candle at both ends; but with you, there's nothing but the wick-and that's burnt out.
Grandpere Bonnard: Hmph! A man stumbles in the street - and then the vultures gather!
Dr. Marchaud: The pulse is like a roller coaster at Luna Park.
[to Desmond]
Dr. Marchaud: Open his shirt.
Grandpere Bonnard: Must I endure this? I'm not a public display!
Dr. Marchaud: No, you're a public nuisance.
