cheating brother hate
It's perversion. Don't you see what it is? It's not natural. To go to great expense for something you want, that's natural. To reach out to take it, that's human, that's natural. But to get your pleasure from not taking, from cheating yourself deliberately like my brother did today, from not getting, from not taking. Don't you see what a black thing that is for a man to do? How it is to hate yourself?
integrity thinking honor
I don't take no dive for nobody. Whaddya think I am, a tanker!

What are you gonna do? Kill me? Everybody dies.
lucky-day lucky danger
If you don't get killed, it's a lucky day for anybody.
grateful people political
Directors are like generals, political dictators, aggressive people...And everyone in the film is always grateful if you can tell them what to do.
