Billy Fish Quotes:

  • Tom Cody: [Ben has just told them where Ellen is being hidden] Pay him.

    Ben Gunn: Yeah, pay me!

    Billy Fish: I'm not gonna pay this jerk.

    Tom Cody: Listen, shithead, you give him some of your money, or I'll give him some of your money.

  • Billy Fish: Take it easy, Cody.

    Tom Cody: I'll take it where I can get it.

  • McCoy: You wanna change this tire, shorty?

    Billy Fish: Changing tires isn't exactly my line of work, dear.

    McCoy: If that's the case, then why don't you just shut up!

  • Billy Fish: The famous Sorels sure put a lot of money into that bus, huh? Listen Cody, I didn't know you had a thing with Ellen in the old days, but you better get some smarts and learn to adjust to the fact that you're out of the picture now. See Cody, I do things for her. Things that a guy like you could never do. Things that matter in the real world.

    Tom Cody: You know something? The only trouble with kicking the shit out of you is it would be too easy.

  • Tom Cody: OK Fish, you head back to the car. I want you in that doorway over there in fifteen minutes. And I mean fifteen minutes.

    Tom Cody: Don't worry about that, I'm gonna give them a couple of other things to worry about.

    Billy Fish: What about her? I thought she's supposed to do the driving!

    Tom Cody: Get moving, and you better be ready when we get there.

    McCoy: Do you trust him, or are you just desperate?

    Tom Cody: You take the front entrance, I'm going topside. If you can work your way upstairs to help me out, fine. If not, I'll handle it.

    McCoy: Just what I always wanted to do, Cody. Take on the Bombers.

  • Billy Fish: He wants to know if you are gods.

    Peachy Carnehan: Not gods - Englishmen. The next best thing.

  • Peachy Carnehan: [When being chased by a large angry mob] Billy Fish, mount the mule and ride! There's a chance you'll make it!

    Billy Fish: Gurkha foot soldier, not cavalry.

    [Billy salutes Peachy and Danny]

    Billy Fish: Rifleman Majendra Bahadur Gurung wishing you many good lucks!

    [Billy draws his kukri and charges the mob single-handedly]

    Billy Fish: Ayo Gorkhali!

  • [speaking to Billy Fish in Kafiri]

    Billy Fish: Ootah say take your pick. He have twenty three daughters.

    Danny: Those are his daughters? Why the dirty old beggar!

    Peachy Carnehan: Now, now Danny. Different countries, different ways. He's only being hospitable according to his lights. Billy, tell him one's as pretty as the next and we cannot choose.

    [Billy translates; Ootah replies in Kafiri]

    Billy Fish: Ootah say he also have thirty-two sons if you are liking boys.

    Peachy Carnehan: [angrily] Tell him he makes my gorge rise; tell him!

    Danny: Now Peachy, different countries, different ways. Tell Ootah we have vowed not to take a woman until all his enemies are vanquished.

  • Danny: You mean he's piled up a fortune of sixty cows out of her infidelities?

    Billy Fish: And thirty-two goats.

    Danny: She ain't a wife, she's a going concern!

  • Peachy Carnehan: What's he saying, Billy?

    Billy Fish: Danny's bleeding. They know! He says not god, not devil, but man!

    Peachy Carnehan: [approaches Danny] They've twigged it, Danny. You've had it! The jig's up!

    Daniel Dravot: [grabs arrow and raises hand in proclamation] I, Sikander -

    Peachy Carnehan: [cuts off Danny] For God's sake!

    Peachy Carnehan: [grabs Danny and leads him down the temple stairs] We've got to brass it out, Danny. Danny, brass it out!

    Peachy Carnehan: [Danny, Peachy and Billy Fish try to escape the mob with heads held high] Bags of swank!

    Daniel Dravot: [Danny, Peachy and Billy Fish on the run] We'll get your riflemen, Peachy, and we'll come back and slaughter the dogs! A drenching in their own blood we'll give them! Riflemen, prepare to advance!

    Peachy Carnehan: [grabs rifles] Too many for that, Danny. Retire in sections!

    Daniel Dravot: Retire? Retire be damned!

    Peachy Carnehan: We've gotta make a run for it!
