"Mr Blount: A good day's work, Bolton! You're getting faster all the time. Beats me how you do it! Dr. Bolton: [Bitterly] No matter how fast I still can't save them! Mr Blount: Yes, most distresing, but, alas, inevitably you can't have operations without screams. Pain and the knife, they're inseparable! Dr. Bolton: I beg to differ. Someday surgery must and will be made painless."
"Dr. Bolton: [In the Seven Dials] This place must breed a hundred fevers!"
