Quotes

The Double Man

Edit
  • Frank Wheatly: Dan, the reason I - stopped - I want you to try and understand - I just wanted to live like a human being again. A normal, ordinary life.
  • Dan Slater: Normal? Eight hours in the schoolroom? Noodles for dinner?
  • Frank Wheatly: Yes. And trust instead of blackmail. Building instead of corrupting. But, lying is a way of life. Or, suspecting everyone until you start questioning your own thoughts. It's a sickness. Professional paranoia that makes the whole world and everyone in it ugly.
  • Frank Wheatly: I didn't come back to ask you to forgive Dan Slater. He has no need of it and he doesn't want it. In his world you don't admit mistakes and you don't offer any apologies. You simply win or you lose. There's nothing in-between.
  • Dan Slater: You're a bastard.
  • Kalmar: I am you.
  • Russian General: Bombs, Colonel. Bombs win wars.
  • Russian General: If it does fail, you will at least have one consolation. Your wife is still a young woman, she will not remain a widow for long.
  • Halstead: He got blown up in Cairo. Not quite clear who did the blowing up. It seems that Wheatly was buried underneath a house. It took four days to dig him out. Somewhat like Lazarus.
  • Edwards: Like who?
  • Halstead: Lazarus, sir. You know, the Bible. Based on the...
  • Edwards: I know about the Bible, damn it!
  • Dan Slater: May I ski with you?
  • Gina Ericson: No.
  • Dan Slater: Why?
  • Gina Ericson: Because I prefer to ski alone.
  • Dan Slater: But, it's safer to ski with someone. It says so in the book.
  • Gina Ericson: I'm afraid we don't read the same books.
  • Charlotte Carrington: Oh, now, you are being naughty. I absolutely insist! You simply must come.
  • Charlotte Carrington: Gina, darling, has my new dress arrived yet?
  • Gina Ericson: Yes. It's in your room.
  • Charlotte Carrington: Oh, good. I must try it on. It's absolutely divine. I look 20 in it! Just like a Snow Queen.
  • Charlotte Carrington: Don't keep Gina too long, will you. You don't want her to develop any more naughty habits. Do we?
  • Edwards: I don't know what you think you're doing, running up and down an Alp; but, I can smell it clear across the Atlantic and it don't smell good.
  • Gina Ericson: Can I get you a drink?
  • Dan Slater: No.
  • Gina Ericson: There are lots of pretty girls.
  • Dan Slater: No!
  • Gina Ericson: Well, what would you like?
  • Dan Slater: You.
  • Charlotte Carrington: Mr. Slater, all alone? How nice!
  • Dan Slater: Oh, good evening, Miss Carrington.
  • Charlotte Carrington: Oh, now you're not going to drink Scotch all evening. We don't want you falling down drunk, do we?
  • [laughs]
  • Charlotte Carrington: Bartender.
  • Bartender: Ya, Madam.
  • Charlotte Carrington: Would you give Mr. Slater some of my special milk stout. It's under the counter.
  • Bartender: Would the gentlemen like his milk stout with ice or without.
  • Charlotte Carrington: Ice? In milk stout?
  • Frank Wheatly: What are we heading into?
  • Frank Wheatly: What happened?
  • "Dan Slater": It was a duck blind. I was the duck.
  • Gina Ericson: You must be drunk!
  • "Dan Slater": I'm stone cold sober. I just don't like being rolled, steered or set up.
  • Kalmar: Slater's my name. Dan Slater.
  • Dan Slater: It won't work! You cannot duplicate a man - exactly. His face: yes. But, not what he really is.
  • Col. Berthold: Ah, yes, his soul. His immortal soul. There is no such thing. Behavior pattern, condition reflexes - yes. Pavlov proved it with dogs years ago. Kalmar is my proof that it can be done with men.
  • Dan Slater: What about his fingerprints?
  • Col. Berthold: Kalmar's fingerprints have already replaced yours in the files in Washington. For all practical purposes: you don't exist anymore.
  • Andrew Miller: Why didn't you go back to the farmhouse with him?
  • Frank Wheatly: He didn't want me to.
  • Andrew Miller: It don't add. He goes back alone? Gunning? Hell, it isn't Slater.
  • Frank Wheatly: It was Slater, alright.
  • Col. Berthold: Tomorrow he will be in Washington and you, Mr. Slater, will be dead - and buried. It's Easter, you know, the resurrection. An interesting parallel. Don't you think?
  • Charlotte Carrington: [toast] Here's to all those foolhardy and *beautiful* young men - oh, and girls.
  • Andrew Miller: Lady, Mr. Slater's on his way home. No ifs, whys, or buts.
  • Gina Ericson: Who are you?
  • Andrew Miller: Western Union. I deliver people. It's a new service.
  • Andrew Miller: See him?
  • Gina Ericson: No.
  • Andrew Miller: The little man who wasn't there. In a mask, yet! Let's go, Dan, before she see's Fu Manchu ski down the mountain.
  • Frank Wheatly: He might still be on the mountain.
  • Andrew Miller: Doing what? Building a snowman?
  • Gregori: Good luck.
  • Kalmar: Who needs luck? We've got organization.
  • Dan Slater: In our business, never believe a sob story... not even your own.
  • Russian General: You don't have to be clever to win wars. All you need is a bigger club.
  • Col. Berthold: We are not fighting *that* kind of war.
