Don Pedro Colley: Rolpho (segment "Dr. Stringfellow's Rejuvenator")

Quotes 

• Snyder : [Rolpho has just set fire to the late Dr. Stringfellow's medicine wagon]  What did you do THAT for?

  Rolpho : Why not? Ain't nothin' in there worth anything.

  [He and Snyder look at Stringfellow's coffin] 

  Rolpho : Ain't nothin' in there worth anything, either.

• Rolpho : What - what's a resurrection?

  Dr. Ernest Stringfellow : Bringing back of the dead.

  Rolpho : Could you do that? Could you bring her back from the dead?

  Dr. Ernest Stringfellow : My dear moon-struck boy, if there was enough money in it, I would give it one powerful try.

• Dr. Ernest Stringfellow : All right, so it doesn't cure dyspepsia. It has no effect on boils or yellow fever or the dropsy. so what? Do you know what's in Dr. String's Rejuvenator?

  Rolpho : Uh-uh.

  Dr. Ernest Stringfellow : Dreams. Should be on the labels. One part wishful thinking, one part ignorance, and one part the sweat of little men who seek immortality and are dumb enough to think it can be bottled. I should be getting $100 a swallow for that stuff, and a medal at the same time. Because I give hope to the hopeless, dreams to the dreamless. An illusion of health to all the poor doomed yokels who have a dollar in their jeans. I let them get a little peek over the pigsty, a view of Heaven.
