The Doctor's Dilemma Page #7

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?

I will not get tired of it.

Support me with your full weight.

I think I'm going to fix up again.

Suddenly...

I suddenly want to sleep.

Just sleep.

Just sleep.

Do not disturb him.

Okay, so support me.

Now you are resting.

I put him on his pillow,

that's better for him.

I do not get tired. It will

hurt him if he only wakes up.

He will not wake up again.

Is he dead?

Do you want to wait for me?

I will return.

Is everything okay with her?

Yes, leave her alone.

Poor guy. What a beautiful death.

So the rascals die.

When you are old, you realize

that no matter how someone dies.

It's about how someone lives.

It does not concern us anymore,

he is now in a different world.

He probably already lends a note of 5.

Do not be so hard. Not now.

He had only two weaknesses:

Money and women.

Should we therefore deny

him ordinary services?

I do not care.

I am only saying that it was an egoist.

Do not waste your time.

A scammer is a scammer and an

honest man is an honest man.

But still, nothing but

good about the dead.

According to Shakespeare,

the good lives on...

and evil goes into the bones.

We are all mortal.

That fate affects us all.

Say what you want, the

funeral must be paid.

If it is not today,

it is tomorrow.

And then, after and after.

After life...

I'm sorry I let you wait.

It does not matter.

I want to give his

friends a hand today.

We have shared a great joy

and a great honor together.

Life is always beautiful to us.

And death too.

Let's seal it with a handshake.

Have all correspondence settled

by the lawyer. That's the law.

I did not know that.

I blame myself.

I should have operated on him.

I send the right people,

you will not be bothered.

I was talking about his friends.

The last of me is the flame

in the burning bush.

If you see that, you see me.

This way.

Put down there.

Can I perhaps speak to you?

You look healthy.

I work for the government. I have healed

the chairman of the district council.

With Dr. Colenso's medicine?

No, with a pound of plums.

- I was lucky.

- Indeed.

Your life was saved.

I know how you feel.

I came to tell you I did not know...

I did not know that the choice

was between his life and mine.

And if you had known that?

Your man was a great artist.

It can not be

replaced, but I can.

Do not blame Colenso.

We are old friends.

You do not have to plead

him out of friendship.

I completely forgot that.

There is a collector

looking at his paintings.

How nice that you are there. I have not

been able to prepare any cloths yet.

The catalogs are on.

You can have mine if you want.

There you have him: Louis Dubedat.

You knew him, I assume?

Certainly. Perhaps better than

most people in some ways.

That counts for me too.

Everyone is there.

Smart brute.

Excuse me, I did not see you.

I am happy to see you.

Dr. Blenkinsop is here.

Congratulations on his healing.

Talk to me.

You blame me for

something to do with it.

It is too late for reproach.

I saw you standing and wondered how

you can come and look so cool here.

You gave the answer yourself.

He was a smart brute to you.

I know you did not like him.

I forgive you, but admit

that you made a mistake.

That is not true.

I have made absolutely no mistake.

Have you forgotten that he is dead?

He lives on in his canvases.

But for you ten others.

I just had to go.

I would like to buy that painting.

That is not possible. It's a

birthday present from my husband.

Who do you say?

My man, there he is.

How so? Have you remarried?

Louis still hated widows?

People who were happily

married always remarry.

How nice that you

like the paintings.

Well, I got you pretty.
