[first lines]
Hugo Barrett: Excuse me, sir. My name is Barrett, sir.
Tony: Oh God, of course. I'm so sorry. I fell asleep. We've got an appointment.
Hugo Barrett: Yes, sir.
Tony: What time?
Hugo Barrett: 3'o clock, sir.
Tony: And what time is now?
Hugo Barrett: 3'o clock, sir.
Tony: Uh, it was too many beers at lunch, that's what it is. Do you drink beer?
Hugo Barrett: No. No, I don't sir.
Tony: Well, come upstairs. We can sit down. I'm just back from Africa, I'm quite liking it. What do you think of the house?
Hugo Barrett: It's so nice, sir.
Tony: Needs a lot to be done with, of course.
-
Tony: By the way I've got to tell you. I've found a male servant.
Susan: [laughing] A what?
-
Tony: Do you want to go there?
Susan: Where?
Tony: The jungle.
Susan: No. Not now.
Tony: Not now.
[kisses her]
-
Susan: What do you want from this house?
Hugo Barrett: Want?
Susan: Yes. Want.
Hugo Barrett: I'm just the servant, miss.
Susan: Get my lunch.
-
Tony: He may be a servant but he's still a human being.
-
Hugo Barrett: I'm not staying here in a place where they just chuck balls in your face.
-
Susan: Barrett, come here. Do you use deodorant?
-
Hugo Barrett: I'll tell you what I am. I'm a gentleman's gentleman, and you're no bloody GENTLEMAN!
-
Hugo Barrett: [to one of the prostitutes blocking his way in the phone booth] Get out of my way, you fucking bitch!
-
Tony: I want an explanation!
Hugo Barrett: Might I have a word with you alone, sir?
Tony: Do you realize that what you've done is a CRIMINAL offence?
Hugo Barrett: Criminal, sir?
Tony: She's your sister, you bastard!
Hugo Barrett: She's not my sister, sir. So if I may say so, that puts us both rather in the same boat. He knows precisely what I mean. In any case, apart for the area being in your room, I'm perfectly in my rights. Vera is my fiancée.
Tony: What?
-
Tony: Look, Barrett, don't forget your place. You're nothing but a servant in this house.
Hugo Barrett: Servant? I'm nobody's servant. Who furnished the whole place for you? Who painted it for you. Who does the cooking? Who washes your pants. Who cleans the bathhouse after you? I do! I run the whole bloody place! And what do I get out of it? Nothing!
Tony: Now, listen, Barrett, look...
Hugo Barrett: I know about you, sonny.
Tony: No, look, listen, I am grateful, honestly.
Hugo Barrett: Yeah.
Tony: No, don't be daft. You know I am.
Hugo Barrett: Yeah, I believe you.
Tony: No, I... I don't what I'd do without you.
-
Susan: Shall I tell you the truth, Barrett?
Barrett: Yes, Miss.
Susan: The truth is, I don't give a tinker's gob what you think.
The Servant Quotes

[2021 British Film Masters Exhibition] The most wonderful thing is the spatial composition and shot scheduling. Whether it's the shadow behind the curtains during hide-and-seek, Barrett's naked body on the stairwell, the dislocated portrait in the mirror, or the swaying legs behind the sofa, all are beautiful and meaningful. Light and shadow at hand, with water droplets, gramophone and Vera's provocative laughter, create an ambiguous and oppressive atmosphere. Disintegrating power with inseparable dependence, blindfolded and sinking step by step.
