Illya Quotes in Never on Sunday (1960)

Homer: It's extraordinary! Where do you learn all those languages?

Illya: In bed.

Homer: She killed them. Medea herself, does she not say, "I killed my children"?

Illya: And you believe her? You don't understand the women. Medea loves her husband, yes?

Homer: Yes.

Illya: Her husband is interested in another woman? Yes?

Homer: Yes.

Illya: So she said to her husband that she has killed her children to frighten him, to get him back.

Homer: No!

Illya: Yes. She gets him back, and everybody go away and everybody is happy and they go to the seashore. And that's all!

Homer: If I show you that everything that was ever written about Medea talks of her killing her children. If you ask 10 out of 10 people who saw the play and they tell you it's true, then by simple logic... You're a Greek, you should be logical.

Illya: Why?

Homer: Because the greatest Greek of them all, Aristotle, invented logic. He said...

Illya: Who?

Homer: Aristotle.

Illya: The one that the Captain said thinks men are everything and women are nothing? I don't care what he said, Aristotle.
