Quotes of Movie: 20000 Leagues Under the Sea [1954]
|
I am not what is called a civilized man, Professor. I have done with society for reasons that seem good to me. Therefore, I do not obey its laws. The natives over there are cannibals. They eat liars with the same enthusiasm as they eat honest men. Think of it. On the surface there is hunger and fear. Men still exercise unjust laws. They fight, tear one another to pieces. A mere few feet beneath the waves their reign ceases, their evil drowns. Here on the ocean floor is the only independence. Here I am free! Imagine what would happen if they controlled machines such as this submarine boat. Far better that they think there's a monster and hunt me with harpoons. There's a fork on your left, Mr. Land. Or aren't you accustomed to utensils? Ned Land: I'm indifferent to 'em. | |

Eat your pudding, Mr. Land. Ned Land: I ain't sure it's puddin'. Professor Pierre Aronnax, narrator: There is great genius behind all this. Conseil: Yes, and great evil. Don't forget this, this is an engine of destruction. Accept one of these cigars, professor. Professor Pierre Aronnax, narrator: Thank you. [He lights it] Professor Pierre Aronnax, narrator: Delightful smoke. Different somehow. Havana? Captain Nemo: Seaweed. Ah, we're almost at the island of Crespo. All this was once an island. Although it is now sunk, it is nevertheless fertile. We do our hunting and farming here. Professor Pierre Aronnax, narrator: Underwater? Captain Nemo: The sea supplies all my wants. Ned Land: Fine way to go huntin'. I knew there'd be a catch to this. Conseil: Seems you can't do anything on this boat without getting wet. Ned Land: Hey, I feel like I'm keepin' a fish outta work. A strange twilight world opened up before me, and I felt as the first man to set foot on another planet, an intruder in this mystic garden of the deep. Professor Pierre Aronnax, narrator: What is in those sacks they are carrying? Captain Nemo: Nitrates and phosphate for ammunition. The seeds of war. They're loading a full cargo of death. And when that ship takes it home the world will die a little more. I was once one of those pitiful wretches you see down there. Look at it again, professor, I don't want you to forget what you've seen here today. Professor Pierre Aronnax, narrator: I've seen enough. Captain Nemo: It's burned everlastingly in my memory. Do you know the meaning of love, professor? Professor Pierre Aronnax, narrator: I believe I do. Captain Nemo: What you fail to understand is the power of hate. It can fill the heart as surely as love can. Professor Pierre Aronnax, narrator: I'm sorry for you. That's a bitter substitute. Conseil: I don't see any native girls hungry for affection. Would you care to come along, Professor? Professor Pierre Aronnax, narrator: No, thank you. The last time I went ashore it was a prelude to murder. ...there is hope for the future. When the world is ready for a new and better life, all this will someday come to pass, in God's good time. Ned Land: What is it? Captain Nemo: It's my own recipe: sauté of unborn octopus. I want to escape, too! You said you had a plan. Ned Land: I do have a plan. Trouble is, it won't work. [watching Nemo's bomb explode] There she blows. All those men. They didn't even have a chance. Ned Land: They were sailors, same as me. Slaughtered by that monster you're trying to make friends with. Conseil: Ned, don't... Ned Land: I don't know about you, Professor, but I feel like a knife that's just stabbed a friend in the back. I asked you to leave, Professor. Prof. Pierre Arronax: You also asked me ashore, to show me man's inhumanity to man. Why? To justify this? You are not only a murderer, you are a hypocrite. The proof lies out there. Captain Nemo: You call that murder? Well, I see murder, too. Not on those drowned faces out there, but on the faces of dead thousands! They are the assassins, the dealers in death. I am the avenger! Cannibals! Hundreds of cannibals! Captain, Captain, scores of boats! Ned Land: Captain, we're under attack! Captain Nemo: Naturally, since you invaded their privacy, they have every right to invade ours. Mr. Land, you saved my life. Why? Ned Land: That's a good question. Well, there's only one thing a fella can do when he's made a mistake as big as this. Conseil: What? Ned Land: Get drunk! Come on, Casey! This is no place for a clergyman's son! | |
