Count Karl von Bruno
Doctor, you're an expert on medical science. Isn't it true that the Ancient Romans were pain worshippers?
Dr. Meissen
Oh, yes, Herr Count. They even held endurance contests. It was a mark of distinction to suffer in silence.
Count Steiken
Ah, naaah! Oh, no!
[Being treated for an arm wound by Dr. Meissen]
