Alexis Zorbas

Alexis Zorba:
If a woman sleeps alone, it puts a shame on all men.

Alexis Zorba:
Damn it boss, I like you too much not to say it. You've got everthing except one thing: madness! A man needs a little madness, or else...

Basil:
Or else?

Alexis Zorba:
...he never dares cut the rope and be free.

Alexis Zorba:
What kind of man are you, don't you even like dolphins?

Madame Hortense:
I too fought breasts to breasts.

Basil:
I don't want any trouble.

Alexis Zorba:
Life is trouble. Only death is not. To be alive is to undo your belt and *look* for trouble.

Alexis Zorba:
How can I not love them? Poor weak creatures... and they take so little, a man's hand on their breast, and they give you all they got.

Alexis Zorba:
Those damn cats!

Alexis Zorba:
Silly old b*tch. She's not alone, she's with Suleiman Pasha having a hell of a time.

Alexis Zorba:
On a deaf man's door, you can knock forever!

Alexis Zorba:
No more fooling around, not in this place. We'll pull our pants up and make a pile of money.

Basil:
I... couldn't help.

Alexis Zorba:
Why do the young die? Why does anybody die?

Basil:
I don't know.

Alexis Zorba:
What's the use of all your damn books if they can't answer that?

Basil:
They tell me about the agony of men who can't answer questions like yours.

Alexis Zorba:
I spit on this agony!

Madame Hortense:
You are cruel! Why you abandon me? The whole village is laughing at me. Where is my white satin? Where is my wedding dress?

Alexis Zorba:
All right, we go outside where God can see us better.

Alexis Zorba:
There will be no funeral. She was a Frank, she crossed herself with four fingers. The priest will not bury her like everybody else.

Alexis Zorba:
The lamb, it will burn!

Alexis Zorba:
Hey boss, did you ever see a more splendiferous crash?

Alexis Zorba:
God has a very big heart but there is one sin he will not forgive

Alexis Zorba:
if a woman calls a man to her bed and he will not go. I know because a very wise old Turk told me.
