The Doctor's Dilemma Page #5

Synopsis: Mrs. Dubedat loves and idolizes her artist husband, Louis, but he is dying of tuberculosis. She goes to a doctor and convinces him to save her husband. The doctor can keep only so many patients, and must choose who is worth saving, but is convinced that Louis' artistic talents make him worthy. But when he and several colleague meet Louis, they discover that he is in fact a smooth-talking money-grabbing scoundrel. They also learn that he has another wife, whom he has abandoned. So, the doctor has a problem: should he let Louis die, leaving Mrs. Dubedat with her idealized image, or save him and his artistic talents, but force her to face his bigamy and other flaws?

do not believe in morality.

Do not go away.

I really did not want to shock you.

I want to stay for a

while, but leave me alone.

I am retired and do not

claim that I can heal you.

Your life is in their hands.

Not in mine.

I do not raise a finger.

And Mr. Walpole?

I like to take him in hand.

He clearly suffers from a

rare form of blood poisoning.

The ptomaids have accumulated

in the nuciform sac.

I will remove it.

Are you operating me? No thanks.

You do not feel anything.

You are of course under anesthesia.

That must be extremely

interesting.

In that case, it can not hurt.

That is another matter.

How much do you pay me for it?

How much? How so?

I really do not let that happen for free.

Would you paint me for free?

You get that when it is finished. Who

knows, you can sell it for double.

If I have lost my nuciform

sac, I can not sell it.

Have you ever heard anything like that?

Keep your nuciform sac.

I had almost done him a favor.

There is only one doctor

who has not withdrawn.

Only sir Ralph Bloomfield

Bonington is still over.

I would not touch him with a finger.

He does not heal in the hospital,

but he may learn ways.

I can not say no, not even

to ungrateful people.

Our young friend is a bad guy

with a lot of drawing talent.

What are my most patients?

Bad guys without any talent.

If I promise to stimulate

the phagocytes, I will.

He is kind enough to

take care of the matter.

Then I can go now.

I have finished with you.

You have been talking.

What does that result in moralizing?

The production of unhealthy

carbon dioxide. I did this.

Look, that's pretty good.

If only I could give it as a gift,

but I still prefer 5 guinea.

- I give 6.

- And I 10.

It is for Sir Patrick,

he has posed for it.

Can I send it to

you for 12 guinea?

Not yet you were at

the Royal Academy.

I do have that.

Take this from me. I hope you

enjoy it for a long time.

We still agree a price,

which will be higher.

Well do you ever. I consider

that drawing as stolen.

Now you still believe

in morality.

My hat.

You have said hard things,

but that does not matter.

I can take care of myself.

I call in Jennifer.

Remember that it is a lady.

And you should be a gentleman.

Brutality.

Do not let yourself be fooled.

I still have to come across

the person who succeeds.

Thank you very much for coming.

How are we doing?

It has been going well since I know you.

At first I was only afraid.

Come in and tell me the result.

Unfortunately I have an appointment.

I am undoubtedly still needed,

then you know where to find me.

I am always at your service.

I must go too.

There is nothing bad about it?

Has it got worse?

No, not worse. Just the same.

I was shocked for a moment.

If I take care of the patient...

YOU? That would be Dr. Colenso...

I treat your husband.

Not a word anymore, it

will be a pleasure.

He is in his place

in his laboratory.

I'm going to the people. Your husband

will receive a royal treatment.

Do not thank me, I'm embarrassed.

From next Tuesday we will

stimulate the phagocytes.

You still hear from me.

You send that antidote in advance.

Goodbye, trust me.

Eat and sleep well.

Do not give up.

Keep him satisfied.

There is nothing like a beautiful woman.

Cheerfulness is the best. Drive it.

Trust the science.

Where are you?

I do not want to be ungrateful.

What is it?

I wish you would treat Louis.

But Sir Ralph...

I know I should be happy, but

I would have preferred you.

It is unreasonable, but in

my opinion you can heal him.

I do not have that feeling with Sir Ralph.

You promised, why do

not you treat him?

I said I did not accept

any new patients.

That one place has been erased

by my old friend Dr. Blenkinsop.

His lung has been affected.

That strange guy?

The gentleman who dined with us.

That's a great guy,

his life is worth it.

He becomes my patient, your

husband goes to sir Ralph.

I get it.

It is mean and envious.

I thought you were up there.

What do you mean?

Do you think this has

never occurred before?

Why does everyone

turn against him?

Forgive him his superiority anyway.

He is smarter and braver.

He is a great artist.

I can forgive him for that.

What do you have against him then?

I have challenged every enemy

to speak out against him.

They have always admitted that

they did not know one thing.

I challenge you.

What are you accusing him of?

I am like the others.

I can not name one thing

that speaks to him.

You behave differently.

You have broken your promise.

You are unreasonable.

You've had the best medical advice

and he gets the best doctor.

It seems like I'm wrong,

but that is not the case.

I trust you, not in the others.

We have seen many doctors,

it always came down to talk.

This is different for you.

You understand us.

Listen to me.

I know Louis like no

other, I am his wife.

He has his mistakes.

He is sensitive, impatient

and even somewhat selfish.

He does not know about it.

He shocks people when it comes to money.

He is up there.

He does not understand the

value it has for others.

Has he borrowed money from you?

He asked for it.

I'm sorry about that.

He will not do it anymore,

I give you my word.

He promised it, he will

not return to his word.

That was his only real weakness.

That is now a thing of the past.

Was that really his only weakness?

He may be weak when

it comes to women.

They worship him and let

him fall into the trap.

His disbelief in morality

is explained as badness.

You understand how the gossip

about him comes into the world.

Even good friends are

being raised against him.

I understand that.

If you knew him as I know him.

If he were to dishonor,

I would turn away.

- Do not overdo it now.

- I do it.

Do not you understand that? You do not know

me. - I would like to get to know you.

Tell me about yourself.

I used to have a lot of dreams.

Eventually it all

became one dream.

The usual dream.

Is that so common?

I think so.

You have not told him yet.

A genius first has to

go through a struggle.

Poverty and neglect.

I wanted to save one genius

and make me a little happy.

Louis was different from other men.

Imagine, he did not

even want to marry me.

He does not think like other men.

I made a proposal to him.

He said he had no money.

I said I had something.

Then he said yes, like a boy.

So he is still:
Unspoilt.

As a philosopher, a man. A

poet and artist in his dreams.

A child in his way of doing things.

I have given him everything so

that he may come to full bloom.

With enough sunshine.

If I lose my confidence in

him, my whole life has failed.

Then I will die.

You must heal him.

Make him healthy again for me.

I know you can only do it.

I beg you not to refuse

what I desire from you.

Take Louis as a patient, sir

Ralph can cure Dr. Blenkinsop.

Do you really believe in my

knowledge and expertise?

Certainly, I do not trust

someone just like that.

I know.
