Quotes 

• Felix Guignol : You seem very positive.

  Mr. Aramescu : I have faith.

  Felix Guignol : In that case, accept my condolences.

• Sam Conride : Did you ever do something for anybody? I mean, without getting paid for it?

  Mr. Aramescu : Once I had such an impulse - but I managed to overcome it. After all, why should I be a hypocrite?

• Sam Conride : The paintings gone. Burnt.

  Felix Guignol : What do you mean burned?

  Sam Conride : The boat accidentally caught fire. I was lucky to escape with my life.

  Mr. Aramescu : Luck? You call it luck if it destroys a masterpiece? Such an imbecile! Idiot!

• Mr. Aramescu : Why don't you trust me, Mr. Conride?

  Sam Conride : Don't you want to make me rich?

  Mr. Aramescu : Yes!

  Sam Conride : And happy? That's why I don't trust you.

• Mr. Aramescu : You don't understand. How can you? To you the painting means only money. To me, possessing it is the exact ecstatic moment of love! To possess something that no one else can have.

• Mr. Aramescu : How did you know?

  Sam Conride : I have three extra senses: caution, suspicion, and distrust.
