His Excellency Quotes in Two Brothers (2004)

Administrator Normandin: Bravo! As your excellency's father always said, "One shot, one kill." With you, it's pfft-bang! Straight as an arrow!

His Excellency: Straight as your road through the sacred jungles of my ancestors.

His Excellency: If you meet our requirements, we'll be only too glad to accomodate you. Uh, would you be good enough to mention, for instance, some outstanding crime you've committed?

Henry Van Cleve: Crime? Crime? I'm afraid I can't think of any, but I can safely say my whole life was one continuous misdemeanor.

His Excellency: When did it happen, Mr. Van Cleve?

Henry Van Cleve: Tuesday. To be exact, I died at 9:36 in the evening.

His Excellency: I trust you didn't suffer much.

Henry Van Cleve: Oh, no, no, not in the least. I had finished my dinner...

His Excellency: A good one, I hope.

Henry Van Cleve: Oh, excellent, excellent. I ate everything the doctor forbade, and then... well, to make a long story short, shall we say, I fell asleep without realizing it. And when I awakened, there were all my relatives speaking in low tones and saying nothing but the kindest things about me. Then I knew I was dead.

His Excellency: I presume your funeral was satisfactory.

Henry Van Cleve: Well, there was a lot of crying, so I believe everybody had a good time.

His Excellency: I hope you will not consider me inhospitable if I say, "Sorry, Mr. Van Cleve, but we don't cater to your class of people here. Please make your reservations somewhere else."

His Excellency: Sometimes it looks as if the whole world is coming to Hell.
