Adamant quotes from Adam Adamant Lives!

Adamant

I find concussion quite invigorating.

Adamant

I was just thinking that if you’ve killed me now, I’d have cooperated at my own murder. It’s an amusing thought, don’t you think?

Adamant

(upon discovering Georgina Jones in his car) And where did you come from, Miss Jones?

Georgina Jones

I was shopping and saw the car. Who were you seeing?

Adamant

That is hardly your concern and I am in far too much of a hurry to act as your coachman, so if you'd excuse me...

Georgina Jones

Then it is a crisis!

Adamant

Only if you remain in the driving seat.

Adamant

(showing Georgina-and the audience-where he lives, which appears to be a car park) Here we are!

Georgina Jones

Don't see why you have to live here. It's so dreary.

Adamant

Well, it is very convenient. And it also happens to be one of the quietest parts of London. After five.

Georgina Jones

(Adamant had replicated his house and furnished it with his original belongings including a desk which Georgina inspects) What's this?

Adamant

What's what?

Georgina Jones

This hole in your desk.

Adamant

Oh, that was a shot from Lebitski's revolver.

Georgina Jones

Were you sitting at the desk at the time?

Adamant

Yes I was. He just grazed me. I still have the mark.

Georgina Jones

Wow! Are there any more holes?

Adamant

No, no. He didn't get the chance to fire again.

Adamant

(mid-flight on a plane, reprimanding Georgina) You have absolutely no right...

Fasten your seatbelt, please.

Adamant

Madam, would you kindly stop this machine at once.

It's all right, sir. Everything's under control.

Georgina Jones

(fastening Adamant's seatbelt) Here, like this. He hasn't flown before.

Adamant

We strap ourselves in? Do they expect us to fall out?

Hey, you're a pommie, aren't you?

Adamant

How very observant of you.

McLennon, Brisbane.

Adamant

Rolston, South Kensington.

South Kensington. They get loads of Australians round there, don't they? Earl's Court Road...what do they call it? Kangaroo Corner, is that right?

Adamant

Yes, I believe the tone of the neighbourhood had dropped rather in recent years.

There was a young fellow from Rhyl/Who swallowed a new plastic pill./He changed overnight,/To a terrible sight,/And now he's a lily called Bill.

Adamant

Was that on the spur of the moment, Simms?

Oh yes, sir.

Adamant

I thought as much.

I suppose you wanted to see Mickey Mouse?

Adamant

Is he your managing director?

Adamant

Gas.

Georgina Jones

What?

Adamant

It appears they may be trying to gas us, Miss Jones. That nozzle up there.

Georgina

Oh, that's a fire sprinkler.

Georgina Jones

I'll be your fluffy for tonight.

Adamant

Miss Jones!

Georgina Jones

Ssh! You're not suppose to know me.

Adamant

There are times when I wish I didn't, Miss Jones.

Adamant

The mistress of the wheel does not appear to be with you tonight.

I do not play to win, sir, only for the enjoyment.

Adamant

I see. In that case your evening must be ecstatic.

Georgina Jones

What was all that about?

Adamant

The Sheik merely wished to purchase you for his harem.

Georgina

(:laughs:) No!

Adamant

If you would wear more orthodox garments, Miss Jones, these matters would not arise.

Georgina

The dirty old man.

Adamant

Not at all. He probably felt you needed some decent clothes, a few good meals and a lesson or two in manners. On second thoughts, it might do you the world of good.

We hope you’ve given some thought to what we said earlier.

About going to sleep and leaving your problems behind.

Adamant

Behind?

Suppose you were announced officially dead?

It'd be the end of your tax problems, wouldn't it?

You fight in the exact style as my great-grandfather.

Adamant

I ought to. He taught me.
