Film Quotes by Victor Mature

Gus: Sorry about the Colonel back.
Jed Cooper: I ain't glad.
Gus: Jed, you did right. And I'm proud of you. Makes me feel as though I didn't bring you up too bad after all.
Jed Cooper: I didn't do it for you, Gus.
Gus: She made you, didn't she? Well, most likely she wanted him dead just as much as you do, but only she couldn't. That 'll be the Christian in her. That's the part of your education that's most been sadly lacking. You ain't got no Christian in you.
Jed Cooper: I ain't?
Gus: No. There's two kinds of love, Jed. The way you love and the way a christian does. She can't be had your way.
Jed Cooper: How the Christians do?
Gus: Well, they begin with... you don't pine for another man's wife.
Jed Cooper: Never?
Gus: Well, maybe sometimes. But a good Christian fights it off.
Jed Cooper: How?
Gus: Well, he gots himself another woman.
Jed Cooper: You mean a Christian loves a woman he don't like, because he can't get the one he wants? I call that real sneaky!

Col. Frank Marston: [after being saved from the bear trap by Jed] She wouldn't let you do it, would she?

Jed Cooper: Fine people can make mistakes too.

Messalina: Why did you run? I don't think you're a coward. You had no real chance of escaping, you must have known that!

Messalina: And men aren't animals?
Demetrius: No!
Messalina: We admire a magnificent animal who fights. Why not a man who fights ?
Demetrius: Because God did not put man on earth to destroy his own kind. Nor a woman to enjoy their agonies as they die.

Ruby Summers: Did you tell him?

Demetrius: [to Marcellus] You crucified him. You, my master. Yet you freed me. I'll never serve you again, you Roman pig. Masters of the world, you call yourselves. Thieves! Murderers! Jungle animals! A curse on you! A curse on your empire!

Demetrius: Make Pilate understand that if he stains his hands with his blood, he's worse than a murderer.

Demetrius: Until now you only remembered what you did to a man. The wrong, and your shame. But now - you remember the man.

Demetrius: You're afraid, but you really don't know the reason why. You think it's his robe that made you ill. But it's your own conscience, your own decent shame. Even when you crucified him you felt it.

Mike Conway: [about to be subjected to tarantula-torture] Bring on your spiders.

Nick Bianco: What happened? You came here to tell me what happened. Why did you change your mind? Scared of hurting me? Look, Nettie... I'm the kind of guy you can't hurt. It doesn't matter.
