Michael Rennie: Harry Lime

Quotes 

  • Dame Lavinia : So this is where you lurk and scheme, you wicked man.

    Harry Lime : Dame Lavinia, I'm overwhelmed.

    Dame Lavinia : As well you might be. This is my first outing during the hours of daylight since the coronation.

    Harry Lime : Couldn't you sleep?

    Dame Lavinia : I never sleep - I lie and think. Today, my thoughts came in stanzas of running fire; they forced me to come and see you.

    Harry Lime : Well, maybe it's the warm spring.

    Dame Lavinia : [laughs]  I like you, Harry Lime. Our minds dance to the same preposterous music.

  • Harry Lime : Anything else?

    Dame Lavinia : A word of warning. These things we collect are toys of the dead, yet some collectors value them beyond life - anybody's life. Be very careful.

  • Batlivenga : My dear Mr. Lime, you are wounded.

    Harry Lime : I wouldn't worry about it, Batlivenga.

    Batlivenga : You are accident prone, perhaps? I have known this before in people. In such cases, the senses warn the brain repeatedly of danger, but the brain takes no notice - rejects the message. The result: accident, injury, and if the condition persists, loss of life. It's virutally a disease.

    Harry Lime : Then stay away from me, Batlivenga. It may well be catching.

  • Batlivenga : All right, Mr. Lime, you win. Let us do business together.

    Harry Lime : The market just closed.
