Sala Quotes in The Phantom (1996)

The Phantom: [after coming through the laundry shoot, seeing Sala and Diana] What is this, a ship full of women?

Sala: [smiling] All my pilots are women.

The Phantom: Interesting. Excuse me.

Xander Drax: Quill, would you please show Mr. Walker up to the observation deck and make him talk?

Sala: I claim the body when you're done.

Sala: The Phantom helped Diana to escape. I think he's in love with her.

Xander Drax: Oh really? This is getting more interesting by the minute. Why do you say that?

Sala: Because he could have had me... but he picked her. That could only be love.

Xander Drax: Or simply bad judgment.

Paul Kemp: [Kemp and Sala are wandering down a pier late at night, high on hallucinogens] I thought I was losing grip in there. What did we take?

Sala: I don't know.

Paul Kemp: We need to get some more.

[Kemp stops to stare at a tank full of lobsters]

Paul Kemp: [quietly] That explains it... doesn't it?

Sala: Explains what?

Paul Kemp: The world... and us.

[he stares deep into the eyes of one particular lobster]

Paul Kemp: [voiceover] I wonder what it is you might think about our different worlds. He looked at me kinda sideways and said, "Human beings are the only creatures on Earth who claim a God, and the only living thing that behaves like it hasn't got one. Does the world belong to no one but you?" And when he said it, I was taken aback. Not because of who was doing the talking. Because I finally understood the connection between children scavenging for food, and shiny brass plates on the front doors of banks.

Paul Kemp: I thought you said you had a TV.

Sala: No, the guy across the alley has a TV. I have binoculars.

Sala: Do not confuse love with lust, nor drunkenness with judgment.

Moburg: Maybe I can interest you gentlemen in something else.

Paul Kemp: Like what? Death?

Moburg: Like the most powerful drug in the history of narcotics. I'm not at liberty to discuss or disclose; all I can tell you is: this stuff is so powerful, they give it to communists.

Paul Kemp: Who does?

Moburg: The FBI.

Sala: Why would the FBI get communists high?

Moburg: That I can't help you with.

Paul Kemp: The only upside with Nixon is he ain't gonna win.

Sala: He's got the grin.

Paul Kemp: He ain't gonna win. Irish guy's gonna win. But don't ever let him live.

Sala: Well how do you know that?

Paul Kemp: I do horoscopes.

Lotterman: What do you know about horoscopes?

Paul Kemp: Nothing.

Lotterman: Ah, well, if I can write one, you can. So it's every day with a special "Star's Star" featured Saturday with Betty Grable and Neil Sedaka, things like that. So here, everything you need is right there. It's called "Madam La Zonga Predicts."

Paul Kemp: What happened to Madam La Zonga?

Sala: He got canceled.

Paul Kemp: What do you mean, fired?

Lotterman: They raped him to death.

Paul Kemp: They raped him to death?

Sala: There are very few places on this island I decline to visit, but the toilets frequented by sailors on the west side of Candado Pier is one.

Paul Kemp: They raped him to death?

Sala: You're high, you fool! Drink some rum.

Paul Kemp: You know what I think? I think we're drinking too much rum.

Sala: There's no other way.

Paul Kemp: I'm getting double ashtray, and double salt pot.

Sala: You gotta a Moberg bifocal.

Sala: [while hallucinating] I have fear! You're giving me fear!

[last lines]

Sala: Ride yourself a trade wind...

Abby: [last lines - voice mail greeting] Hi, you've called Abby. You know what to do...

Sala: Hi Abby, it's Sala. I'm coming home. There's just one final thing I need to do for an old friend first. So I don't know if you have any shares in MOTORKORE, but if you do, I'd sell 'em first.
