Quotes
-
Nasser : Yes... But first we must marry Omar off.
[Cut to Omar and Johnny making love in the back room]
-
Nasser : [to Omar] In this damn country, which we hate and love, you can get anything you want. It's all spread out and available. That's why I believe in England. Only you need to know how to squeeze the tits of the system.
-
Johnny : Doesn't look too good, does it? Pakis doing this kind of thing.
Nasser : Why not?
Johnny : What would your enemies have to say about this, eh? Ain't exactly integration, is it?
Nasser : I'm a professional businessman, not a professional Pakistani. And there is no question of race in the new enterprise culture.
-
Nasser : Where are those two buggers?
-
Nasser : [to Omar] Bring Tania over here. Marry her. Well, what's wrong with her? When I say marry her, you damn well do it. Be nice to her, pressure off my fucking head. Your penis works doesn't it? Get going!
-
Nasser : [whilst having sex with his lover] Christ, you move like a liner.
-
Nasser : [to Omar] Nothing but a toilet and a youth club. A constant boil on my bum.
-
Nasser : [to Omar] Okay, I charge you basic rent. The key you keep.
-
Nasser : [to Omar] On the other hand a little water on the brain might clear your thoughts.
-
Nasser : I can't go back. Religion is sodomizing the country. It's getting in the way of making money.
-
Nasser : [Rachel on top] Ahh! What do you think I am, your trampoline?
Rachel : Oh, yes, yes, yes... a trampoline.
Nasser : Speak my language, damn it.
Rachel : I'll do nothing else, Nasser. Do you think we'll ever part?
Nasser : Not at the moment!
Rachel : I'm serious!
Nasser : Ahh... Just keep moving. Oh! Just there! Oh, I love you. Oh, darling. Christ! You move like a niner.
-
Nasser : So, your papa got thrown out of that clerk's job I fixed him with? Pissed, was he?
-
Nasser : I presume my brother, the boy's Papa, was out screwing some barmaid, somewhere. So, when these tappings went on, I got out of bed, went to the balcony and opened the door. And there was my brother, he was standing outside with some woman - and they were completely without clothes. Blue with cold, like two bars of soap. This I refer to as my brother's blue period.
-
Nasser : Take my advice. There's money in muck.
-
Nasser : And now on to business. I've been to see the laundrette. You boys will make a beautiful job of it, I know.
