In the movie "Horse Feathers" they play football. At one point, Groucho crawls out of a pile up and starts shouting, "Is there a doctor in the house, is there a doctor in the house?". A guy way up in the stands scrambles over people and rushes stumbling and out of breath down to the field and says, "I'm a doctor." Groucho says to him, "How do you like the game, doc?". Granted I'm somewhat paraphrasing because I don't remember it word for word, but that's pretty close. I assume it's been plagiarized by many comics since then.
