Make the best of what we offer you, and you will suffer less than you deserve.
Papillon quotes
Page 2 of 2Me they can kill... You they own!
Papillon made it to freedom. And for the remaining years of his life, he lived a free man. This, the infamous penal system in French Guiana, did not survive him.
Papillon: If your wife was here and you were in Paris with all of that money how much would you pay to get her back?
Dega: Everything I have.
Papillon: And how much would she pay to get you back?
Prisoner: I know all about you, Mr. Dega. Very intelligent man.
Dega: Thank you. I seem to be known in all the wrong places.
Toussaint: We do a lot of smuggling here. We raid the mainland. We steal boats. When an outsider comes in we generally kill him, as a security measure.
Papillon: That makes sense.
Toussaint: Well... a man of Christian understanding.
We're really something, aren't we? The only animals that shove things up their ass for survival.
We've all got our sensitive spots.
Your five years in solitary confinement are at an end. You've paid part of your debt to France.
