Zoltán Mucsi: Phil Pitch

Quotes 

• Swan Tamel : Don't deceive yourself!

  Phil Pitch : Don't worry about me. I have cleared up bigger shit than this before.

  Swan Tamel : So you should be able to sense the difference. Everything is suspended from above and depends on what is beneath it. There are no exceptions.

• Tom Keats : The girl's improved.

  Phil Pitch : Improved?

  Tom Keats : If she has anything to say, she's going to say it!

  Phil Pitch : She could speak before or did you silence her?

• Doctor Anselmi : Swan? He's not happy because of that. He's happy because he never lies.

  Phil Pitch : You don't need to lie if you've got the Vatican on your side.

  Doctor Anselmi : If I did the insinuation-factor analysis on you, you wouldn't even have God on your side! I used the same technique on astronauts for four years! And not one could hide a thing.

• Richard Lance : Might I know why the evaluation didn't begin on time?

  Phil Pitch : It did but you were late.

  Richard Lance : The exact time...

  Phil Pitch : The exact time is the time my watch shows!

• Swan Tamel : You should sleep. One gets tired without dreams.

  Phil Pitch : Then you still must dream a lot.

  Swan Tamel : Never enough. But... always something significant.

  Phil Pitch : I'm sorry but I have alarming news for you! You are now an official suspect. We have material evidence. I don't understand how you thought I wouldn't realise.

  Swan Tamel : I would never have guessed. But I was starting to worry after a week. Don't blame yourself! Often the most obvious is the least suspicious.

  Phil Pitch : Can I take that as a confession?

  Swan Tamel : Why should I deny what happened?

  Phil Pitch : Because it's punishable by law.

  Swan Tamel : The law? What I refer to as the law is vigilance!

  Phil Pitch : Why did you smuggle the book out?

  Swan Tamel : Because people need to confront themselves.

  Phil Pitch : They need to confront reality.

  Swan Tamel : It is sufficient for reality that it exists. Why do you want to defend it at all costs?

  Phil Pitch : It's my job. I'm just doing my job.

  Swan Tamel : And marvel gets in the way of your work?

  Phil Pitch : I'm the one asking questions here!

  Swan Tamel : Reality is a matter of subjectivity. You'll soon see!

  Phil Pitch : Tell me more about the Vatican!

  Swan Tamel : Two kinds of people live on the earth: the guilty who think they are genuine, and the genuine who know they are guilty.

  Phil Pitch : That's quite alright.

• Swan Tamel : Now you are afraid because you're on your own.

  Phil Pitch : It's difficult not to be afraid...

  Swan Tamel : Difficult? It's difficult like everything that is simple and natural.
