The Kennel Murder Case (1933)

Etienne Girardot: Dr. Doremus

Quotes 

• Philo Vance : [Refering to the wounded Sir Thomas]  Could the wound have been self-inflicted, doctor?

  Dr. Doremus : I'm the city butcher, not a detective. Don't bother me with any murders after three tomorrow. I'm going to the World Series.

• Dr. Doremus : I'm a doctor, not a magician.

• Dr. Doremus : I'm a doctor, not a detective.

• Dr. Doremus : [Referring to the corpse]  He's been dead for four hours.

  Detective Sgt. Heath : [Sarcastically]  And me thinkin' he's playin' possum.

  Dr. Doremus : Well, there are too many people in the world anyway!

• Dr. Doremus : Sergeant, here's your order for removal of the body.

  Detective Sgt. Heath : Thanks, Doc.

  Dr. Doremus : So long. I want food.

  Detective Sgt. Heath : Well, nobody's stoppin' yuh.

  Dr. Doremus : And if you got any more corpses, bring 'em out now, will yuh? I can't be running up and down here all day!

  Detective Sgt. Heath : Watta yuh mean running up and down all day with that swell car the city gave yuh?

  Dr. Doremus : [With frustration as he leaves]  Ugh!

  Detective Sgt. Heath : [as the doctor's leaving]  Nothing upsets the doctor clearly.

• Dr. Doremus : [Frustrated, after being called for the third time]  I'd like to rent a room here until they finish this case.

• Dr. Doremus : [Referring to the corpse]  There couldn't have been much of a struggle. His hair isn't even mussed.

  Detective Sgt. Heath : Maybe somebody slugged him and then combed his hair.

• Dr. Doremus : [answers phone]  Hello? What? Again? I'm right in the middle of my lunch. First you interfere with my breakfast, then you ruin my lunch. Don't you boys ever eat?

  Detective Sgt. Heath : No. I'm on a diet.

  Dr. Doremus : Oh, all right.
