- 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.
- 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: 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?
- Hugo Barrett: [to one of the girls blocking his way out of the phone booth] Get out of my way, you filthy bitch!
