Sig Ruman: Jarubi

Quotes 

• Jarubi : What? You gave your vases to that man?

  Miss Haoli Young : Do you know him?

  Jarubi : The scum of the universe! He has the soul of a flea and the heart of a toad.

• Jarubi : To me, a ruined country is a bargain counter. May I tell you what a great man once said of me, "When the world is destroyed, Mr. Jarubi will be standing undamaged in its midst, auctioning off its debris." An amusing picture, don't you think?

• Jarubi : Fifty percent of the activities of a dead man are not worth $500, Mr. WIlliams.

• Jarubi : A year ago, Mr. Williams, I bought ten cans of film from you of the sacred and forbidden Oriental dancers. I paid you $500.

  Johnny Williams : Shut up, will you. I want to think.

  Jarubi : It pained me to discover that there was *nothing* on that film. Ten cans of unexposed, worthless celluloid.

• Johnny Williams : What's the matter, partner? Ain't you havin' fun?

  Jarubi : In a way, yeah. It's difficult to imagine, sitting here, the world is in flames.

  Johnny Williams : Let her burn. Ain't our bonfire. Its a Chinese bonfire.
