• Hugo Barrett : I'll tell you what I am. I'm a gentleman's gentleman, and you're no bloody GENTLEMAN!

• Hugo Barrett : I'm not staying here in a place where they just chuck balls in your face.

• Tony : Look, Barrett, don't forget your place. You're nothing but a servant in this house.

  Hugo Barrett : Servant? I'm nobody's servant. Who furnished the whole place for you? Who painted it for you. Who does the cooking? Who washes your pants. Who cleans the bathhouse after you? I do! I run the whole bloody place! And what do I get out of it? Nothing!

  Tony : Now, listen, Barrett, look...

  Hugo Barrett : I know about you, sonny.

  Tony : No, look, listen, I am grateful, honestly.

  Hugo Barrett : Yeah.

  Tony : No, don't be daft. You know I am.

  Hugo Barrett : Yeah, I believe you.

  Tony : No, I... I don't what I'd do without you.

• Susan : What do you want from this house?

  Hugo Barrett : Want?

  Susan : Yes. Want.

  Hugo Barrett : I'm just the servant, miss.

  Susan : Get my lunch.

  Hugo Barrett : Excuse me, sir. My name is Barrett, sir.

  Tony : Oh God, of course. I'm so sorry. I fell asleep. We've got an appointment.

  Hugo Barrett : Yes, sir.

  Tony : What time?

  Hugo Barrett : 3'o clock, sir.

  Tony : And what time is now?

  Hugo Barrett : 3'o clock, sir.

  Tony : Uh, it was too many beers at lunch, that's what it is. Do you drink beer?

  Hugo Barrett : No. No, I don't sir.

  Tony : Well, come upstairs. We can sit down. I'm just back from Africa, I'm quite liking it. What do you think of the house?

  Hugo Barrett : It's so nice, sir.

  Tony : Needs a lot to be done with, of course.

• Tony : I want an explanation!

  Hugo Barrett : Might I have a word with you alone, sir?

  Tony : Do you realize that what you've done is a CRIMINAL offence?

  Hugo Barrett : Criminal, sir?

  Tony : She's your sister, you bastard!

  Hugo Barrett : She's not my sister, sir. So if I may say so, that puts us both rather in the same boat. He knows precisely what I mean. In any case, apart for the area being in your room, I'm perfectly in my rights. Vera is my fiancée.

  Tony : What?

• Susan : Shall I tell you the truth, Barrett?

  Barrett : Yes, Miss.

  Susan : The truth is, I don't give a tinker's gob what you think.

• Hugo Barrett : [to one of the prostitutes blocking his way in the phone booth]  Get out of my way, you fucking bitch!
