Quotes 

• The Raja of Rukh : You may have noted in history dear lady that family affection is seldom the strong point of princes.

• The Raja of Rukh : Again, forgive the vulgarism, my goose is cooked.

• The Raja of Rukh : [Last line]  Well, well, she'd probably have been a damn nuisance.

• The Raja of Rukh : [speaking to Lucilla Crespin]  Your son, if you gave me one, should be the prince of princes. My other sons should bow down before him and serve him. For though I hate the arrogance of Europe, I believe that from the blending of the flower of the East with the flower of the West, that the man of the future, the Superman, will be born.

• The Raja of Rukh : I have implicit confidence in you, Watkins. I know that anything they have to offer you will have to be paid either in England or in India - and I know that you dare not show your nose in either country. You have a very comfortable job here...

  Watkins : My grateful thanks to you, sir.

  The Raja of Rukh : ...and you don't want to give the hangman a job, either in London, or in India.

• The Raja of Rukh : [to Major Crespin]  What can you promise that would be worth a brass farthing to me? No, Asia has a long score against you swaggering lords of creation, and by all the gods, I mean to see some of it paid tomorrow!
