Fitzcarraldo quotes

  • Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald - 'Fitzcarraldo': Is this a rubber tree?

  • Notary: Can I ask you a question of a personal nature? Do you really know what you're doing?

    Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald - 'Fitzcarraldo': We're gonna do what nobody's ever done.

    Molly: We're going to be very, very rich.
