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.
