The Man with Two Brains (1983)
"You're condoning murder, aren't you, Dr. Necessiter?"
"As long as it's happening, I'm happy to accept it."
"The only time we doctors should accept death is when it's caused by our own incompetence!"
"Nonsense! If the murder of twelve innocent people can help save one human life, it will have been worth it!"

DW is perfect and gets some of the biggest laughs purely by playing it deadly straight
