William Conrad: Narrator

Quotes 

• Narrator : [Epilog Closing Narration. Viewers see Richard Kimble, having escaped the city, enter a large building with several businesses. He is seeking a job]  "I will practice my profession with conscience and dignity; even under threat, I will not use medical knowledge contrary to the laws of humanity. I make these promises solemnly, freely, and upon my honor." And for Richard Kimble, Fugitive, they still apply.

• Narrator : [Opening Narration. Viewers see Richard Kimble at work as a bartender. Kimble sees a news broadcast on TV about a huge fire at the Harrington Processing Company and, in a background of onlookers, sees Fred Johnson, the one armed man, standing and watching the fire with a woman, Maggie Tibbett, beside him. Kimble immediately leaves the cocktail lounge and heads for the fire]  Any public disaster will attract a crowd of spectators - people secretly pleased, perhaps, that they are not touched by the tragedy, that they may walk away from the dying and go on about their lives.

  [Richard Kimble arrives at the scene of the fire and immediately starts searching for Fred Johnson] 

  Narrator : But one man here today cannot remain so uninvolved, no insulated against another's pain. He is bound by an oath taken many years ago - an oath written by a man named Hippocrates. "I will follow that method of treatment which, according to my ability and my judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patient."

  [Kimble sees Johnson about a half block away, talking to Maggie. At the same moment, Johnson spots Kimble] 

  Narrator : [Johnson runs away into the street to escape and Maggie follows him. A truck horn blares and Maggie is struck by the vehicle] 

  Narrator : "Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick."

  [Kimble arrives at Maggie's side and looks up at Johnson several feet away. Johnson sees Kimble and runs off] 

  Narrator : These words, remembered from better days, return to haunt Richard Kimble.
