A Clockwork Orange – Minister Quotes

Alex: Hey dad, there’s a strange fella sittin’ on the sofa munchy-wunching lomticks of toast.

Dad: That’s Joe. He lives here now. The lodger, that’s what he is. He rents your room.

Joe: I’ve heard about you. I know what you’ve done. Breaking the hearts of your poor grieving parents. So you’re back, eh? You’re back to make life a misery for your lovely parents once more, is that it?

Joe: You’ve been like a father and mother to me. Well, it wouldn’t be fair now or right, I mean, for me to go off and leave you two to the tender mercies of this young monster, who’s been like no real son at all. Look, he’s weeping now. But that’s all his craft and artfulness. Let him go and find a room somewhere else. Let him learn the errors of his way, and that a bad boy like he’s been doesn’t deserve such a good mum and dad as he’s had…You’ve made others suffer. It’s only right that you should suffer proper.

A Clockwork Orange

Cast and Characters

Malcolm McDowell as Alex in A Clockwork Orange: "What we were after now was the old surprise visit. That was a real kick and good for laughs and lashings of the old ultraviolent."
Sheila Raynor as Mum in A Clockwork Orange: "But you've not been to school all week, son."
Michael Bates as Chief Guard Barnes in A Clockwork Orange: "Shut your filthy hole, you scum!"
Aubrey Morris as Deltoid in A Clockwork Orange: "What gets into you all? We study the problem. We've been studying it for damn well near a century, yes, but we get no further with our studies. You've got a good home here, good loving parents, you've got not too bad of a brain. Is it some devil that crawls inside of you?"
Warren Clark as Dim in A Clockwork Orange: "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."
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."
James Marcus as Georgie in A Clockwork Orange: "All right, no more picking on Dim, brother. That's part of the new way."
Clive Francis as Joe in A Clockwork Orange: "Look, he's weeping now. But that's all his craft and artfulness. Let him go and find a room somewhere else."
Anthony Sharp as Minister of the Interior in A Clockwork Orange: "Public opinion has a way of changing."
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!"
