Dim - A Clockwork Orange - Warren Clarke

Movie: A Clockwork Orange
Year: 1971
Character: Dim
Actor: Warren Clarke

Dim is one of Alex’s droogs. He’s not too bright, perhaps that why he sticks by Alex even when he is abused by him, because of the indirect security it gives him to come under Alex’s authority – a typical gang mindset.

A Clockwork Orange – Dim Quotes

Alex: [voice-over] There was some sophistos from the TV studios around the corner, laughing an govoreeting. The Devotchka was smecking away, and not caring about the wicked world one bit. Then the disc on the stereo twanged off and out, and in the short silence before the next one came on, she suddenly came with a burst of singing, and it was like for a moment, O my brothers, some great bird had flown into the milkbar and I felt all the malenky little hairs on my plott standing endwise, and the shivers crawling up like slow malenky lizards and then down again. Because I knew what she sang. It was a bit from the glorious 9th, by Ludwig van.

Dim makes a lip-trump followed by a dog howl, followed by two fingers pronging twice in the air, followed by a clowny guffaw.

Alex brings his stick down smartly on Dim’s legs

Dim: What did you do that for?

Alex: For being a bastard with no manners, and not a dook of an idea how to comport yourself public-wise, O my brother.

Dim: I don’t like you should do what you done, and I’m not your brother no more and wouldn’t want to be.

Alex: Watch that. Do watch that, O Dim, if to continue to be on live thou dost wish.

Dim: Yarbles! Great bolshy yarblockos to you. I’ll meet you with chain or nozh or britva anytime, not having you aiming tolchocks at me reasonless. Well, it stands to reason I won’t have it.

Alex: A nozh scrap any time you say.

Dim: Doobidoob. A bit tired, maybe. Best not to say more. Bedways is rightways now, so best we go homeways and get a bit of spatchka. Right, right?

Madge Ryan as Dr. Branom in A Clockwork Orange: "Violence is a very horrible thing. That's what you're learning now. Your body is learning it...You felt ill this afternoon because you're getting better. You see, when we are healthy, we respond to the presence of the hateful with fear and nausea. You're becoming healthy, that's all. By this time tomorrow, you'll be healthier still."
Carl Duering as Dr. Brodsky in A Clockwork Orange: "Very soon now, the drug will cause the subject to experience a death-like paralysis, together with deep feelings of terror and helplessness. One of our early test subjects described it as being like death, a sense of stifling or drowning, and it is during this period we have found that the subject will make his most rewarding associations between his catastrophic experience-environment and the violence he sees."
Patrick Magee as Frank Alexander in A Clockwork Orange: "Recruiting brutal young roughs into the police, proposing debilitating and will-sapping techniques of conditioning. Oh, we've seen it all before in other countries. The thin end of the wedge. Before we know where we are, we shall have the full apparatus of totalitarianism."

Godfrey Quigley as Prison Chaplain in A Clockwork Orange: "Choice! The boy has not a real choice, has he? Self-interest, the fear of physical pain drove him to that grotesque act of self-abasement. The insincerity was clear to be seen. He ceases to be a wrongdoer. He ceases also to be a creature capable of moral choice."
Pauline Taylor as Psychiatrist in A Clockwork Orange: "Now then. Each of the slides needs a reply from one of the people in the picture. You tell me what you think the person would say. Alright?"
Paul Farrell as Tramp in A Clockwork Orange: "Well, go on, do me in you bastard cowards! I don't want to live anyway, not in a stinking world like this!"
