"There's only rubbish in there!" "Or in the heart?" "Sometimes I have the feeling that both reside in the feet." " How do you mean?" " If one is startled..." "Up, up, up, up!" "...Then one suddenly feels so much life in the startled feet." "Nonsense!" "You clean up here!" "The rag is dirty, too." " That rag is clean." " Smell for yourself!" "I made a mistake." "It's the formalin!" "Do you think that I'm already dead?" " That was an accident." " Like the berries with carbolic acid you served me last night?" "Carbolic acid dulls the pain."
