Ali: What children?

Pandu: If the school children die?

Ali: Let them die, that's my concept.

Ali: Why?

Pandu: There should be bo harm to children and women: That's my concept.

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.

Das: [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?

Prince Auda: Peace be with you, brother.

Ali: Always a pleasure to see you, Your Highness. Or should I say "Father"?

Sultan Amar: Why do you always have to mock everything?

Ali: It's easier.

Sultan Amar: Easier?

Ali: Eventually the Arab states will rise against Israel. They don't like Palestinians, but they hate the Jews more. It won't be like 1967. The rest of the world will see by then what the Israelis do to us. They won't help when Egypt and Syria attack. Even Jordan. Israel will cease to exist. What?

Avner: This is a dream. You can't take back a country you never had.

Ali: You sound like a Jew.

Avner: Fuck you. I'm the voice inside your head telling you what you already know. You people have nothing to bargain with. You'll never get the land back. You'll die old men in refugee camps waiting for Palestine.

Ali: We have a lot of children. They'll have children. So we can wait forever. And if we need to, we can make the whole planet unsafe for Jews.

Avner: You kill Jews and the world feels bad for them... and thinks you animals.

Ali: Yes. But then the world will see how they've made us into animals. They'll start to ask questions about the conditions in our cages.

Avner: You are Arabs. There are lots of places for Arabs.

Ali: You're a Jew sympathizer. All you Germans, you're too soft on Israel. Well, you give us money, but you feel guilty about Hitler. And the Jews exploit that guilt. My father didn't gas any Jews.

Avner: Tell me something, Ali.

Ali: What?

Avner: Do you really miss your father's olive trees? Do you honestly think you have to get back all that... that nothing? that chalky soil and stone huts? Is that what you really want for your children?

Ali: It absolutely is. It will take a hundred years, but we'll win. How long did it take the Jews to get their own country? How long did it take the Germans to make Germany?

Avner: And look how well that worked out.

Ali: You don't know what it is not to have a home. That's why you European Reds don't get it. you say, "It's nothing," but you have a home to come back to. ETA, ANC, IRA... we all pretend we care about your international revolution... but we don't care. We want to be nations. Home is everything.

Ali: We all know Bobby here a man. He a man, so nobody punking nobody here. Am I right, Buddha? Buddha, do you, or do you not recognize this is a man standing here?

Ali: Are you a deuce?

Bobby: No, I am not.

Ali: Can you stand alone like a man has to?

Bobby: Yes.

Bobby: Oh, now you going to preach to me, right?

Ali: [Slams elbow against wall] . Yeah, I'm going to preach... and you going to listen!

Bobby: I owe everybody in this joint, and all I did was help my homeboy Loco.

Ali: Helping is costly.

Collins, Mark, Roger, Angel, Ali, Paul, Steve, Pam: [sung] Will I lose my dignity? Will someone care? Will I wake tomorrow, from this nightmare?

Ali: I haven't heard about this movie.

Ali: You mean in Germany?

Ali: How is it that the ultimate prize in the most macho sport ever invented is a piece of jewelry?

Sonny Weaver Jr.: [on the phone with his mother] You're on Twitter?

Ali: Any plans before you summer cruise?

Jake Huard: Uh, yeah. I think I might go over to Sir Frankie's and see if there are any escorts around.

Ali: Really?

Jake Huard: Yeah.

Ali: Save your money.

Girl in bar: Well... are you coming?

Ali: You're whining again!

Razieh: Mom refuses to give me money for the goldfish.

Ali: Don't you like ours?

Razieh: You call these goldfish, you haven't seen the others. It's as though they're dancing when they move their fins. And they've got so many fins.

Ali: How much?

Razieh: The shopkeeper said 100 tomans.

Ali: 100 tomans! You want to pay 100 tomans for a goldfish. You can watch two films with that money. You're nuts.

Ali: Why do you help me?

Manuela: I don't know... I just... had to do it. I'm your angel, right?

Ali: Before, I see you in my dreams. You look out window, think of me. I know you... you are my angel.

Ali: Concentrate on life, and life will concentrate on you. That's what Shakespeare said in a play by Moliere.

Ali: You son of a bitch! Come back here, you bastards! You ain't getting away with this, goddammit!

Ali: [after syphoning Chris' van] Take this to the barn and start pourin', and find Fox.

Fox: [swinging on a rope at the barn] Wooooh!

Loco: What the hell you doin'? Get off that thing!

Fox: [continues swinging] Wooh! This feels gooooood!

[laughs]

Loco: Ali is gonna be pissed if he sees you screwing around. C'mon, we got shit to do.

[looks back up and sees that Fox as disappeared]

Loco: What the hell?

[enters barn]

Loco: Fox? Where are ya? Stop screwin' around! You're messin' everything up! You're dead now, woman. Fox?

[Loco turns around and sees Fox's corpse hanging onto the rafter with a pitchfork. Then Jason approaches Loco with a pitchfork, and impales it in Loco's abdomen]

Ali: Fox? Loco? Open the damn door! Fox!

[Ali enters barn]

Ali: What the hell you guys doin' up there?

[silence]

Ali: Hear me talkin' to you?

[Loco's corpse falls onto Ali]

Ali: FOOOOOXXX!

[Ali sees Jason jumping off a rafter]

Ali: [picks up a machete] When I find you, you bastard, you're a dead man!

[Jason approaches Ali]

Ali: Shit!

[Ali swings the machete at Jason's head, but Jason ducks, and bludgeons Ali with a wrench]

Ali: [Holds out condom] It's green...

Michèle: Is it old?
