Citoyen de nulle part

Nigel Costairs: Well, you've got to start somewhere.

Ivan Kalin: At the top! I'm not a kid anymore. And America's the place to do it in. There's only one thing I need.

Nigel Costairs: I can let you have a little money.

Ivan Kalin: Thanks. But I can get money if I can get a reputation. And that's what I have to leave with, if I expect to be anything in America.

Nigel Costairs: There's a desperation about all this. It isn't like you.

Ivan Kalin: You're an Englishman. Sapporo's Japanese. I have no country. I've nothing.

Nigel Costairs: Those are just words, Ivan.

Ivan Kalin: Feelings. And very few people can understand what it's like to be born into this world through no fault of their own, and find yourself a displaced person. A citizen of the world. Without a passport and no place to go. A man, a man needs roots. He has to belong.

Nigel Costairs: Well, there really is a human being under there. What are you going to do?

Ivan Kalin: What I have to do. Anything. Anybody.
