  • Dr. Patrick J. Cory: Perhaps I'll cure Frank and every other alcoholic if I can solve the mystery of Donovan's Brain. I think it's a matter of chemistry how the brain thinks. The problem is to find out what chemical combinations are responsible for success... failure... happiness... misery.
  • Janice Cory: Sounds impossible.
  • Dr. Patrick J. Cory: But it is not. It can't be. There has to be a way.
  • Dr. Patrick J. Cory: I think someday you'll be as famous as Madame Eve Curie.

  • Dr. Patrick J. Cory: Frank, don't let me down.
  • Dr. Frank Schratt: What's more useless than a surgeon with a hangover? I'm a drunken zero.! I pass!
  • Dr. Patrick J. Cory: No, you don't. I'd rather have you do a corneal transplant for me drunk than anyone else sober.
  • [Pulls him by the arm]
