Best dialog in the movie!


The speech Roosevelt reads at the end of the movie is one of the best speeches I ever heard!

Pretty much every line in this movie is quotable. My favorite scene remains the conference between Geoffrey Lewis, Steve Kanaly and Roy Jenson in the Embassy in Tangier.

"Military intervention!"
"DAMN THE LEGATIONS!"
"Gentlemen, if we fail and are killed, I certainly hope that the world DOES go to war!"
"A world war? Now THAT would be something to go out on..."

Other dialogues I quite like:

"I am the Raisuli. Do NOT laugh at me again!"

"Why spoil the beauty of the thing with legality?"

"I don't know who you are, or what you want with us, but I will tell you that I am no coward, and if you or any of your men should dare to lay a hand on me, I shall try with all the strength in me to kill you, and with my last breath I will curse you to God. GOD WILL LISTEN!"

"Would you like to be portrayed as a hairy cow if you were a grizzly bear?"

"You are a very dangerous man, Captain - and your President Roosevelt is mad!"
"Yes, sir!"

"Ma'am, I'd like to throw in with you - and God help us!"

"Mrs. Perdicaris! The baraka has not deserted me! Cut me down quick before it does."

"I'll see you again, Mrs. Perdicaris, when we are like golden clouds on the wind."

"I'm a Doctor of STEW!"

Loved Vladek Sheybal as the Bashaw. His palace is under fire, he has just been taken prisoner, and he after fastidiously throwing aside from his couch, the arm of the last of his guards who has been shot dead, continues eating apricots, (I think), staring at the captain and calmly remarking, "You are a very dangerous man, Captain, and your, President Roosevelt is mad."

It pleases me to take you back

I will give you back to President Roosevelt, and let him deal with you.

It's been a bad year, next year will probably be worse.

I forgot one of my favorites:

"What does my life matter? I've nothing else to do."

Stone, you can watch me or you can join me. One of them is more fun.

It was a great speech, for sure... one of my favorite lines is:

"You are in a lot of trouble. You should never have moved that knight or kidnapped me. Both will see you undone."


...Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he doesn't become a monster...

I like Keith's line: "I'd never shoot anyone accidentally . . . I need their votes."


"I'm not reckless . . . I'm skillful!"

reply

"It is good to know where we are going" and "It's been a bad year." This movie is full of great humor and classic lines.

Roosevelt says that a bear should be the symbol of America, not the bald eagle."He is nothing more than a dandified vulture ".
