      Always angry, always irritable, for no reason



      What caught my attention the most was Van Stratten's uninterrupted anger.

      I'd rather believe that Arkaddin did lose his memory. Wells appeared in his works in the image of a tall and heroic figure, surrounded by fog and rumors, all of which sought the sympathy of the audience - we hope he has the...

      Incredible family history

    Confidential Report quotes

    • Gregory Arkadin: And now I'm going to tell you about a scorpion. This scorpion wanted to cross a river, so he asked the frog to carry him. No, said the frog, no thank you. If I let you on my back you may sting me and the sting of the scorpion is death. Now, where, asked the scorpion, is the logic in that? For scorpions always try to be logical. If I sting you, you will die. I will drown. So, the frog was convinced and allowed the scorpion on his back. But, just in the middle of the river, he felt a terrible pain and realized that, after all, the scorpion had stung him. Logic! Cried the dying frog as he started under, bearing the scorpion down with him. There is no logic in this! I know, said the scorpion, but I can't help it - it's my character. Let's drink to character.

    • Guy Van Stratten: I'm sorry but you're going to have to talk to me. We got to get out of here. Look, if we don't start moving, right away, you're going to be killed! I mean that, murdered.

      Jakob Zouk: I'm a dying man with no money. Somebody wants to kill me? He's wasting his time.

      Guy Van Stratten: No money? Well, you could use some dough, couldn't you. How would you like to earn 500 marks?

      Jakob Zouk: Earn?

      Guy Van Stratten: Or, even a thousand! We could go to my hotel. No, that's no good, he might find us. We can go to another hotel and I'll get you a fine room with a nice bed and lots of warm, big, thick, heavy blankets.

      Jakob Zouk: Oh, yeah? And who are you? Santa Claus?

      Guy Van Stratten: I am the one who's going to keep you from getting murdered. Oh, I know you, sir, you're an old jail bird, just on a stir, an ex-dope pusher, the world's forgotten you. I wouldn't give you a thought if I didn't have to. If my own life didn't depend on it.
