    Maum Sally:
    [talking about Justin] What kind of man is he anyway?



    Madeline Fabray LaMotte:

  • George:
    [In the middle of a battle, Orry is hit] ... ORRY!

  • Justin:
    [after Madeline gives her opinion about secession in public] My dear, you forget yourself. Nobody here in this company cares what you have to say.

    George:
    They're married, Orry. He's an arrogant ass but there's nothing you can do about it.

    So would I. But it's not the time or the place.

    [Orry's at the hospital, George is visiting him] I'm in love Orry.


    [laughs]

    Her name is Constance Flynn and she's wonderful. Now I know what you meant about Madeline and you.

    She's warm, she's funny. She's beautiful. She's a first class cook too.


    [laughs]

    I think I've been looking for her all my life. When I get up the courage, I'm going to ask her to marry me.



    Orry Main:
    [cool as ice] That's wonderful George. I'm very happy for you.

  • Orry Main:
    [talking about Madeline] Until you've been in love, you don't know what it's like. Nothing else seems to matter.



    George:
    Then you sir, are a romantic fool.

  • Elkanah Bent:
    [threatening George and Orry] And you be on your guard. Because I won't forget you two. I won't forget you two, ever.


    [leaves]

    That man is crazy.

    So we better believe him.

    And be on our guard? For how long...? The rest of our lifes?

    Orry Main:
    It nearly killed me being away from you.



    Madeline Fabray LaMotte:
    Please... we mustn't say things like that to each other.



    Orry Main:
    Why not? We feel them.



    Madeline Fabray LaMotte:
    There's nothing we can do.



    Orry Main:
    You don't love him. You are not his.

  • Orry Main:
    I want you to meet me tomorrow. Just to talk.



    Madeline Fabray LaMotte:
    What can we talk about? All the things that will never be?

  • Tillet Main:
    Priam needed to be punished!



    Orry Main:
    I would not punish an animal that way, and neither would you!



    Tillet Main:
    Don't get me anymore of your yankee sermons!



    Orry Main:
    I am not preaching! I am arguing against brutality!



    Tillet Main:
    Well it's not your place! Now be so good as to leave me alone!

  • Orry Main:
    This is our way of life, it has been for more than a hundred years!


    [pause]



    Orry Main:
    How would you like me, to come up to Lehigh Station, telling you how to run your life, to change the way you have always lived?


    [pause]



    Orry Main:
    But I mean this George. You and me... we're good friends, and if we wanna keep that friendship, there are certain things we can never say to each other. Some things we can never talk about.



    George:
    [long pause] I guess you're right.


    [Orry begins to talk, George interrupts him]



    George:
    We're supposed to be fighting Mexicans... not each other!

  • George:
    [in the middle of a battle] We can't stay here! And we can't go back!

    That's what Bent had in mind!

    George, there's some things people never recover from.

  • Madeline Fabray LaMotte:
    I'm not afraid.



    Orry Main:
    I'm afraid for you.



    Madeline Fabray LaMotte:
    Well then, this is all we have.

  • Madeline Fabray LaMotte:
    [slaves are being punished] It's my fault!



    Maum Sally:
    It's nobody's fault. It's just the way things are.

  • Orry Main:
    [Orry is drunk] I think I'll be the judge of that.



    George:
    Do you? Well I don't think you've got the judgement of a mule right now, all you do is sit there and feel sorry for yourself.

  • Elkanah Bent:
    What do you want, Hazard? Your manner is offensive. And what's more, you're out of uniform.



    George:
    I'm glad you notice. Or else I couldn't give you this.


    [punches Bent]

    Best Quote

  • Well we'd just seen Gerry. I think he wanted somebody who had that authority and was handsome. The thing is, he's a big hunk isn't he? All I can say, if you look at his chat line, or the Phantom website, it's quite worrying. Because the girls really seem to love him. (Andrew Lloyd Webber)


    • Worst Quote

  • I'm thinking, this is Robert Redford. You know, he's won an Academy Award, he's talking to me about directing a movie he's in. So you just think that it's Hollywood stuff or whatever (Barry Levinson)
