Quotes 

• Griffiths : Fancy giving up being an artist in Paris to coming here to study medicine. You must be off your rocker, old boy.

  Philip Carey : I'm not really very good at it.

  Griffiths : All those lovely models, absolutely gorgeous.

  Philip Carey : Oh, I don't know. You soon get used to it. I suppose it's like being a doctor, in a way.

  Griffiths : If I thought I was ever going to get that blasé about women, I'd give up medicine here and now.

• Griffiths : I must say, Matty, I admire your choice. Look at that pelvis move.

• Griffiths : Sheer physiological poetry.

  'Matty' Mathews : A perfect specimen.

  Griffiths : I wouldn't mind trying out my bedside manner on her.

• Griffiths : [looking at a nude]  Did you paint this in the flesh?

  Philip Carey : I didn't exactly do it from memory.

  Griffiths : Oh, that's the life, isn't it.

• Griffiths : Well, at least you know where you stand with her, the bitch.

  Philip Carey : Do I?

  Griffiths : Well, you're not going to see her again, are you? Oh, help. Why don't you take some advice from dear old Uncle Grif: Love 'em and leave 'em." Don't get mixed up with 'em. They're not worth it. Not one of 'em.

  Philip Carey : Mildred is.

  Griffiths : Oh, come on.

  Philip Carey : You don't know her like I do, Grif..

  Griffiths : Look, she's as mean and selfish as they come.

• Griffiths : You amaze me, Philip. You really do. I mean, I would have thought your living in Paris and all that, you'd have more experience with women. I mean, every student in this hospital knows what she's like, except you. She's got you so damn twisted up, you can't even think straight. Your works going to Hell. She's a whore, Phil. All right, maybe she doesn't walk the streets; but, she doesn't have to.

• Griffiths : She's on the streets, Phil. Someone saw her in Paddington last night. I always said she'd end up like that. Once a whore, always a whore.
