Michael Rennie: Hilary Carson

Quotes 

• Maxwell Fleury : Your father, if I remember correctly, worked on my father's plantation.

  David Boyeur : Till the day he died.

  Maxwell Fleury : He was taken care of, whether he was sick or not, whether he worked or not.

  David Boyeur : That was charity, Mr. Fleury. What we want is equality.

  Hilary Carson : What I want is a drink.

• Hilary Carson : I don't believe in chaps drinking themselves to death. Leave that for retired Colonels.

• Maxwell Fleury : I've had about as much as I can take from you, and from this island, you understand. Stay away from my wife!

  Hilary Carson : Look here - I'm fed up with idiots! Are you suggesting I...

  Maxwell Fleury : I'm not suggesting anything - I'm just telling you.

  Hilary Carson : Well you can ruddy well un-tell it and apologise. And get this into your stupid skull - I don't make passes at wives of acquaintances and I don't share my women. And even if I did, I wouldn't take something from someone like you with the tarbrush rolled across his face.

• Maxwell Fleury : What did you buy?

  Sylvia Fleury : A bikini. It's really something, isn't it?

  Hilary Carson : Right. You better rope off the beach, old man, when she wears it.
