Jean-Paul Belmondo credited as playing...
Azad
- Abel Zacharia: I chase petty crooks like you. I take all those risks for $300 a month. Don't you find that outrageous?
- Azad: You have fringe benefits. You race around in your car. You sit at whatever table you want. You don't pay in restaurants. It all adds up.
- Azad: We've each got a job to do. You want to do both. That makes complications.
- Abel Zacharia: Not at all, it's very simple. I play both sides. If things go wrong, I start acting like a policeman again.
- Lena Gripp's: Would you like to pose? We're looking for a man.
- Azad: I have one principal: never try to replace the professional.
- Lena Gripp's: Right. But, it doesn't mean you can't get educated.
- Azad: Who is the teacher?
- Lena Gripp's: Follow the leader.
- Abel Zacharia: Goodbye, Mister... Mister?
- Azad: Azad. It happens to mean "free" in certain language.
- Abel Zacharia: My name is Abel Zacharia. It means nothing at all.
- Abel Zacharia: [after the 9 minute car chase] You know there's a speed limit in this town?
- Azad: Sorry. I'm a foreigner. I can't read signs in your language.
- Abel Zacharia: Numbers are the same in every language. We are very lenient with foreigners. As long as they don't go too far. Do you know how fast you were going?
- Azad: 20? 30? 40? 50? Don't tell me I was doing 60 - right in the middle of town?
- Abel Zacharia: You were doing 90.
- Azad: Oh, my foot must have got wedged on the accelerator.
- Azad: What do you get in this country for killing a dirty bastard?
- Abel Zacharia: You get hanged. I get a medal - posthumously. They always catch a cop-killer.
- Azad: That's the risk I take.
- Azad: [after viewing Lena's nude photoshoot in "Eros" magazine] Does it pay well?
- Lena Gripp's: It depends on the photographer.
- Azad: If I was the photographer...
- Lena Gripp's: But, you're not. The way you look at me your pictures would be out of focus.
- Azad: Ah, I can dream, can't I?
- Lena Gripp's: No, you can't. I'm only for sale at the news stand.
- Azad: Doesn't it bother you to pose bare - like that?
- Lena Gripp's: No. You know, two years ago I only showed my legs and that was shocking. Now, I show more and it shocks less. It's really weird, isn't it?
- Azad: People used to read these in hot little rooms, alone, with their hot little imaginations. Now, the cry is for sex in public. That's what shocks me.
- Lena Gripp's: Oh, now come on. As pleasures go, you know, drinking leads to the DTs and drugs lead to the psycho ward; but, sex - I mean, sex merely leads to an act of love.
- Azad: The first time I saw you, I should have known. I've been had - like a tourist. All I need is a camera around my neck.
