Well, I may never touch it while I'm there. Not a drop. What you don't understand, all of you is that I've got to know it's around. That I can have it if I need it. I can't be cut off completely.

Quote context

[...]

- Now of course there arises the problem of transportation into the country.

- How to smuggle these two time bombs past the royal guard.

- I'll roll one bottle in a copy of the Saturday Evening Post, so my brother can discover it like that. And I want him to discover it, because that'll set his mind at ease.

- The other bottle...Come here. That one I'm tucking into my brother's suitcase. He shall transport it himself, without knowing it, of course. Then, while he's greeting the caretaker, I'll slide it out and hide it in a hollow of the old apple tree.

- Aw, Mr. Birnam, why don't you lay off the stuff for a while?

- Well, I may never touch it while I'm there. Not a drop. What you don't understand, all of you is that I've got to know it's around. That I can have it if I need it. I can't be cut off completely.

- That's the devil. That's what drives you crazy

- Yeah. I know. I know a lot of guys like that. They take a bottle and put it on the shelf. All they want is just to look at it. They won't even carry a corkscrew along, just to make sure. Then, all of a sudden... they grab the bottle and bite off the neck.

- Nat, one more reproving word and I shall consult our lawyer about a divorce.

- Now don't forget, quarter of six. My brother must find me home, ready and packed.

- Shall we dance?

Top rated lines from this movie

Two bottles of rye. -What brand? -You know what brand, Mr. Brophy. The cheapest. None of that twelve year old, aged-in-the-wood chichi. Not for me. Liquor is all one, anyway.
You know the circle is the perfect geometric figure. No end, no beginning...
The leper is back. Hide your liquor.
And out there, in that great big concrete jungle, I wonder how many others are like me. Poor bedeviled guys, on fire with thirst. Such comical figures to the rest of the world, as they stagger blindly towards another binge, another bender, another spree.
That's what's going to be hard to write. Love is the hardest thing in the world to write about. It's so simple. You've got to catch it through details... like the early morning sunlight hitting the gray tin of the rainspout in front of her house.
