Quotes7

  • Stanley Smith: Desmond's brother, Ronald, is a cook and has created a distinct cuisine based on seaweed and eels.
  • [first lines]
  • Stanley Smith: [narration] The Hotel Splendide is a unique and marvelous place. It's an ideal spot to rest or convalesce, with full hydro-spa facilities, no shortage of fresh fish, and a friendly family atmosphere, which hasn't change since Mrs. Blanche died last year.
  • Stanley Smith: There's a time and a place for everything, Dezmond. That's the beauty of routine.
  • Stanley Smith: Odor sharper than a serpent's tooth. A simple omelet can be a dangerous thing in the right hands.
  • Stanley Smith: The great thing about the Chinese language is that the word for crisis also means opportunity. What I want to know is, if being gassed to death by your own waste counts as opportunity.
  • Dezmond Blanche: *This* is a desecration of our regime.
  • Stanley Smith: *This* is our sister's wake.
  • [continues dancing]
  • Stanley Smith: Continuity, or change. I think sometimes change begins with a fellow there. A sound you've heard 100 times seems different, and in a moment, the world's turned upside down
