Lord Jim (1965)

Andrew Keir: Brierly

Quotes 

• Brierly : Could you do what he did?

  The French Officer : Who knows? Under certain conditions, fear will come to any man. It's always there, waiting for us...

• Brierly : Loyalty. What about loyalty?

  The French Officer : Once, there was loyalty to ships under sail; but, when ships changed to steam, perhaps men changed too.

• Brierly : Why? Why did you insist on eating all that dirt? How could you make that disgusting confession in public, before all those grinning natives? If you had to rut around in shame, why didn't you run, hide, crawl 20 feet underground where you belong? Do you realize what you've done here today? Do you know what you've done? You're one of us. Your disgrace reflects on us. You put all of us on trial! Don't you understand that?

  Lord Jim : Yes, sir. I understand.
