Michael Gambon: Philip Marlow

Quotes 

• Philip E. Marlow : Why?... Why is it when you lose your health the entire medical profession takes it as axiomatic you also lost your mind!

• Ali : Okay, okay bloody dog, me!

  [he gives a cigarette to marlow who drags and coughs] 

  Ali : Good?

  Philip E. Marlow : Good? Bloody marvellous!

• Philip E. Marlow : [as Ali tries to light a cigarette for him]  The wheel, Ali! The little wheel! God, I can see the headlines now. Another Asian burned to death. No... that sort of thing doesn't make the news anymore. Not now the National Front are investing in Tandoori ovens.
