Eden Quotes in The Wind and the Lion (1975)

Raisuli: This is the Rif. I am Mulay Ahmed Mohammed Raisuli the magnificent, sherif of the Riffian Berbers. I am the true defender of the faithful and the blood of the Prophet runs in me and I am but a servant of His will. You have nothing to say?

Eden: It has never been my intention to encourage braggarts.

Raisuli: Your shell is strong like a turtle's, but it is brittle.

Eden: Your tongue is clever and fast. Be careful you do not trip over it.

Raisuli: You are a great deal of trouble.

Eden: Do you pray often?

Raisuli: I pray to Mecca five times a day.

Eden: Is that so? I wonder how you find time, when you are so busy cutting off men's heads and kidnapping women and children!

Raisuli: If I miss the morning prayer, I pray twice in the afternoon. Allah is very understanding!

Eden: Why would anyone want to cut out a man's tongue?

Raisuli: Perhaps the previous owner had nothing pleasant to say.

Eden: [to Raisuli] Now I don't know who you are, or what you want with us, but if any of your men should lay a hand on me, I shall try with all the strength in me to kill you, and with my last breath I shall curse you to God! GOD WILL LISTEN!

Eden: And this is your way? Abducting women and children?

Raisuli: I prefer to fight the European armies, but they do not fight as men - they fight as dogs! Men prefer to fight with swords, so they can see each other's eyes! Sometimes, this is not possible. Then, they fight with rifles. The Europeans have guns that fire many times promiscuously and rend the Earth. There is no honor in this - nothing is decided from this. Therefore, I take women and children when it pleases me!

Eden: [playing chess with Raisuli] You are in a lot of trouble! You should never have moved that knight or kidnapped me - both will see you undone.

Raisuli: It is not I who determine the outcome of these events - it is the will of Allah.

[first lines]

Eden: Don't you agree that the most important part of the meal is the wine? Everything must follow the wine. And in this case, I should favor a Red Bordeaux.

Sir Joseph: A Red Bordeaux at lunch? Your late husband would never have approved.

Eden: [during the shootout between Joseph and Raisuli's men] Joseph, over there!

Sir Joseph: Get down, Eden!

[shoots a brigand, and aims at another, but finds he's out of ammunition]

Sir Joseph: Damn.

[is run down by another brigand]

Long-haired Jock: Oh, OK. GRANDPA. What are you, a pimp and these are your skank hoes!

[Jessica slaps him hard]

Long-haired Jock: You and me, right now, lets go.

Jessica (Clive): Where are we going?

Eden: Any sex with a leprachaun?

Jessica (Clive): Not recently.

Kala: Yeah, how 'bout I knock you on the head and take you back with me!
