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.

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 : He may be a servant but he's still a human being.

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?
