Quotes 

• Mary Jonston : Sissi suffers from severe psychological distress. The cause is most likely hypocrisy committed by a man.

  Dr. Jonson : That's a quick diagnosis.

  Mary Jonston : The answer was close at hand. The victim is a woman and we're in Europe. In India, if I come across a ravaged corpse, I look for a tiger. In Europe, if I come across a woman's ravaged soul, I look for a man.

  Dr. Jonson : What an honor for the men of Europe. We thank you.

• Mary Jonston : I'll buy this clinic and rebuild it in accordance with modern principles. And expand the hotel next door. Now that hit home. Perhaps that would suit you better than coming to America?

  Dr. Jonson : Much better, of course. Who actually gave you permission to be here today? Miss Dollar, we'd like some privacy. Please.

  Mary Jonston : You really are rude. For the second time today, if not the third. But you are attractive. A pity you're a lousy doctor.

• Mary Jonston : If you come to America, I'll give you the largest clinic in the States. There you'd have a wider range of work worthy of your talents. And I promise I'd waste both dollars and interest on you.

  Dr. Jonson : Thank you, but I decline. I'm afraid that this mountain man of the species Homo Europaeus wouldn't fit into your menagerie.

• Mary Jonston : How about a wager? I'll give you 12 hours to cure Sissi. After that, it's my turn. If you win, I'll donate 10 free stays at your clinic.

  Dr. Jonson : I see. And if I lose?

  Mary Jonston : You'll enter my service.

  Dr. Jonson : As your personal physician?

  Mary Jonston : No, as my husband.

• Mary Jonston : I don't like being kept waiting.

  Mary Jonston : The right thing would be to slap you.

  Mary Jonston : What do you say?

  Dr. Jonson : Slap you, I said.

  Mary Jonston : Good heavens.

• Mary Jonston : Damn it! I've made a fool of myself!

  Dr. Jonson : Let's just say it's human nature to be wrong every now and then.

• Dr. Jonson : Ladies and gentlemen, here you see two of the world's most harmful parasites: an honest American quack and a dishonest Swedish doctor. She's honest for believing in her quackery and I'm dishonest for allowing her to do so.

• Mary Jonston : It's your sexual bouquet that appeals to me. I'll buy you.

  Dr. Jonson : What?

  Mary Jonston : Yes, like a fine wine or a purebred dog.
