Saboteur quotes

Mac, Truck Driver

I've been thinkin' for long time I'm gonna get out of this truckin' game.

Why don't you?

Mac, Truck Driver

One of my neighbors told my wife it's stylish to eat three meals a day.

Mr. Freeman

The most important thing is to make sure of everyone around us.

Mr. Kane?

Mr. Freeman

I'm just not sure. I want to know that he's all right.

All right? What an understatement. He's much more than that! He's noble and fine and pure... So he pays the penalty that the noble must pay in this world: he's misjudged by everyone.

[Philip, a blind man, explains to Patricia why he believes Barry is innocent]

Don't you know I can see a great deal farther than you can? I can see intangible things. For example, innocence.

[to Barry Kane]

Very pretty speech - youthful, passionate, idealistic. Need I remind you that you are the fugitive from justice, not I. I'm a prominent citizen, widely respected. You are an obscure workman wanted for committing an extremely unpopular crime. Now which of us do you think the police will believe?

[to Charles Tobin]

Why is it that you sneer every time you refer to this country? You've done pretty well here. I don't get it.

[to Patricia as they dance at a party full of Nazi sympathizers]

Right now, they're probably haggling over the price for us with Murder, Incorporated.

Pat, this moment belongs to me. No matter what happens, they can never take it away from me. [another dancer cuts in and dances off with Pat]

Power, yes... I want that as much as you want your job, or that girl. We all have different tastes as you can see, only I'm willing to back my tastes with the necessary force.

You're one of the ardent believers - a good American. Oh, there are millions like you. People who play along, without asking questions. I hate to use the word stupid, but it seems to be the only one that applies. The great masses, the moron millions. Well, there are a few of us unwilling to troop along... a few of us who are clever enough to see that there's much more to be done than just live small complacent lives, a few of us in America who desire a more profitable type of government. When you think about it, Mr. Kane, the competence of totalitarian nations is much higher than ours. They get things done.
