Prof. Pierre Arronax Quotes in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)

Captain Nemo: I asked you to leave, Professor.

Prof. Pierre Arronax: You also asked me ashore, to show me man's inhumanity to man. Why? To justify this? You are not only a murderer, you are a hypocrite! The proof lies out there!

Captain Nemo: [anguished] YOU CALL THAT MURDER? Well, I see murder, too, not written on those drowned faces out there, but on the faces of dead thousands! They are the assassins, the dealers in death; I am the avenger!

[last lines]

Ned Land: [as Vulcania explodes] Sorry I had to wallop you, Professor. But there wasn't time to stop for souvenirs.

Prof. Pierre Arronax: Perhaps you did mankind a service, Ned.
