Mangal Pandey - The Rising - Confrontation Over Opium Trade and Authority
Officer Lockwood:
Seal the stock. Arrest this man.
Captain Gordon:
Sergeant Major.
Sorabjee:
Mr. Lockwood, you are. A man of high powers. But you've been here only a few days, sir. You must try to understand.
Officer Lockwood:
Mr. Sorabjee, you are aware that the East India Company has a monopoly on the opium trade. It is obvious you have been indulging in your own private dealings.
Sorabjee:
Mr. Lockwood, I am acquainted with you British, and I have had dealings for years with the Company officials. I will be very proud to make you part of our arrangements.
Officer Lockwood:
Are you offering to bribe me, you blaggard?
Sorabjee:
Sir, I have the deepest respect for you as a gentleman. I am simply trying to explain how trade works in India. It could be beneficial to you.
Officer Lockwood:
You mistake me, sir. I'm here to bury corruption, not to fan it!
Sorabjee:
Corruption is a strong word, sir. It is our custom, as Indians, to give small gifts. I must quieten your displeasure and pay a fine. 300 pounds in gold?
Officer Lockwood:
Damn your eyes!
Sorabjee:
Three thousand pounds. Now?
Officer Lockwood: [realizes the corrected fine]
Three... thousand... pounds.
Sorabjee:
India is rich, sir.

Hawkins:
Spencer, did you flush?
Wallace:
I think she's going to do that. Don't you, pal? I'll ask her. Lori!
Hawkins: [''quietly to Daggenhurst'']
He's taking to her!
Roger:
She's still in the bowl?
Hawkins:
Maybe he tried to flush her, but she floated back up!
Roger:
Tell him to flush her! Spencer knows how to deal with floaters.
