John Malcolm Quotes:

  • [first lines]

    [sound of a huge gong omninously echoes down the valley]

    Billy Batson: What's that, Mr. Howell?

    Howell [Ch. 1]: I don't know, Billy - let's find out. What do you make of that cymbal, Malcolm?

    John Malcolm: I don't know, Howell. Does it mean anything to you, Tal Chotali?

    Tal Chotali: The men of the hills are gathering. The cymbal says that the white men are to be driven from the Valley of Tombs.

  • [On the inner tomb, the archeologists discover a carving of a Scorpion with ancient writing surrounding it]

    John Malcolm: Why, there's an inscription here! Can you translate it, Tal Chotali?

    Tal Chotali: Why, yes, I can translate it. It say, "Let what reposes behind this stone remain hidden from the eyes of mankind... for all time."

  • Ann Shankland: I didn't mean any harm.

    John Malcolm: That's when you do the most damage.

    Ann Shankland: We all make mistakes.

    John Malcolm: You specialize in them.

  • Ann Shankland: You're making it a bit too obvious, you know, that you hate the very sight of me.

    John Malcolm: The very sight of you is perhaps the one thing about you I don't hate.

  • Mrs. Railton-Bell: Are you on the side of Mr. Malcolm and his defense of vice or are you on the side of the Christian virtues - like Mr. Fowler and myself?

    John Malcolm: Never in my life have I heard a question so disgracefully begged. You should be in politics, Mrs. Railton-Bell.

  • John Malcolm: You know something, Ann? No one I know of lies with such sincerity.

  • John Malcolm: Is this your year for looking up old husbands?

    Ann Shankland: Only the special ones.

  • Lady Matheson: [Reprovingly, talking about Sybil] I'm surprised at you, Mr. Malcolm. You should not have brought her into it.

    John Malcolm: I suppose not. I thought I might get her once, just this once in her whole life, to publicly disagree with her mother. It'd save her soul if she ever did.

  • John Malcolm: [to Ann] People who hate the light usually hate the truth.

  • John Malcolm: [to Ann] You know something? No one else I know of lies with such sincerity.
