Quotes of Movie: A Passage to India [1984]
|
My dear, life rarely gives us what we want at the moment we consider appropriate. Adventures do occur, but not punctually. God has put us on earth to love and help our fellow men. Ronny: Yes, mother. [on the glasses found on Aziz after the latter's arrest] If Adela had hit him with it, he'd hardly take it with him. McBryde: I'm not surprised. Richard Fielding: I don't follow. McBryde: When you think of crime, you think of English crime. The psychology's different out here. [at the trial] Before we begin, I'd like to state what I believe to be a universal truth: the darker races are attracted to the fairer, but not vice-versa. Advocate Amrit Rao: Even when the lady is LESS attractive than the gentleman? [court breaks out in laughter] | |

[Ali is carrying on during the trial] Please, this is no way to defend your case! Ali: I am not defending a case - and YOU are not trying one! We are both slaves! Das: Mr. Mahmoud Ali, if you don't calm down, I will have to exercise my authority. Ali: Do so! This trial is a farce! [throws papers off the desk] Ali: I'm going! I've ruined my career! [to Aziz] Ali: Farewell my friend! Ali: Mrs. Moore! Where are you, Mrs. Moore? How is Britain justified in holding India? Dr. Aziz H. Ahmed: Unfair political question! Richard Fielding: No, no! Well, personally, I'm here because I need a job. Ali: Qualified Indians also need jobs! Richard Fielding: I got here first. [laughter] Richard Fielding: Well, I like it here and that's my excuse. Advocate Hamidullah: And those Englishmen who do not like it here? Richard Fielding: Chuck 'em out. [laughter] Ali: Indians are also saying that. [to Ronny, on Mrs. Moore] She's old - we musn't forget that. Old people never take things as one expects. [in a club meeting] There is a certain member here present who is known to be in contact with the defense. One can't run with the hare and hunt with the hounds - at least not in this country! Richard Fielding: I'd like to say something. Turton: Please do. Richard Fielding: I believe Dr. Aziz is innocent. I will await the verdict of the jury. If he is found guilty, I will resign my post and leave India. I resign from the Club now! [exits] [to Ali and Hamidullah when Fielding visits] No, he does not need THREE chairs! He is NOT THREE Englishmen! [on Aziz] He was dressed in his Sunday best, and his back collar stud was out. And there you have the Indian all over. You shouldn't walk alone, Mrs. Moore. There are bad characters about, and leopards may come down from the Marabar Hills - snakes also! Mrs. Moore: You walk alone. Dr. Aziz H. Ahmed: I am used to it. Mrs. Moore: Used to snakes? Dr. Aziz H. Ahmed: I'm a doctor - they dare not bite me! I do so hate mysteries. Richard Fielding: We English do. Mrs. Moore: I rather like mysteries - but I rather dislike muddles. Richard Fielding: A mystery is only a high-sounding term for a muddle. Me and the Professor know that India is a muddle. Professor Godbhole: Agreed, I am sorry to say. | |
