Mr. Paris Shoes

The Knick 1×2

& Dr. Christiansen: The answers to disease and the body do not lie in house calls. They’re here in a lab where we can experiment and calibrate. Cancer, syphilis, tuberculosis, all their mysteries waiting to be unlocked and take us soaring into the next century.

& Dr. Christiansen: You do realize if you choose to join us, the work will be hard and the hours long, the results slow and agonizing, and we will see no shortage of death at our own hands.
    Dr. Thackery: But the rewards...
    Dr. Christiansen: The rewards will be the achievement of it all.
    Dr. Thackery: «When the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger...»
    Dr. Christiansen: Hmm?
    Dr. Thackery: Shakespeare.
    Dr. Christiansen: .... Never read him.

& Dr. Thackery: Blame is easy. Truth is harder.

& Dr. Thackery: Once a man shifts his mind from the surgical field to the patient under the drape, it’s only a matter of time.
    Catherine: How will it not take hold of you the way it did Jules?
    Dr. Thackery: I have ways of getting through...

& Dr. Edwards: Have you had cocaine before?
    Ida: No.
    Dr. Edwards: You’re going to feel nothing in your arm and wonderful everywhere else... It’s truly a miracle.

& Lin-Lin: You come back soon? Tonight maybe?
    Dr. Thackery: Where else would I go?
