Beyond the Limit Movie Quotes
Colonel Perez
The general will never release any prisoners, you know.
Dr. Eduardo Plarr
Depends on American aid. If the Americans told him to release...
Colonel Perez
The Americans don't give a damn! He's anticommunist. That's what they're paying for... Are you a communist, Eduardo?
Dr. Eduardo Plarr
I've always found Marx unreadable.

Colonel Perez
Who is in here?
Dr. Eduardo Plarr
Signora Fortnum.
Colonel Perez
Oh, I see... Is this why you've been lying to me?
Dr. Eduardo Plarr
An affair always involves a few lies.

Dr. Eduardo Plarr
You say he was shot trying to escape.
Colonel Perez
Yes. It's quite straightforward, isn't it?
Dr. Eduardo Plarr
Oh, yes... Just I can not understand why he was trying to escape backwards.
Colonel Perez
You really needn't worry about this one. If there was any question of his being innocent, he wouldn't be here.
Dr. Eduardo Plarr
What do you mean?
Dr. Eduardo Plarr
He would have been disappeared... In the river, probably.
Dr. Eduardo Plarr
You've got him.
Colonel Perez
I've, um... been asked if you'd be prepared to help out occasionally at the prison with resistencia.
Dr. Eduardo Plarr
In what capacity?
Colonel Perez
Dr. Barabanto has been extremely helpful, but he's... of course, he's... he's not available all the time. And we do seem to find ourselves quite often in need of reliable medical opinion.
Dr. Eduardo Plarr
What you mean is, you often need to know if someone's fit enough to be tortured.
Colonel Perez
Alright, I'll tell 'em you're busy.
Dr. Eduardo Plarr
You do that... Look... I don't think you like this any more than I do.
Colonel Perez
Ugh... The way I look at it - if a country hands itself over to the irrationals - every man for himself.

Colonel Perez
I have to take every possibility into account, doctor. Even a crime of passion.
Dr. Eduardo Plarr
Passion? I'm an Englishman.

Belfrage: British Ambassador
Well, I'm afraid the situation looks pretty bleak. The... Foreign Minister takes the view that it's a Paraguayan affair. The Paraguayans refuse to discuss the matter on the grounds that the President's on holiday, and Whitehall's position is that they won't be held to ransom by criminals.
Dr. Eduardo Plarr
Surely, the Americans could help.
Belfrage: British Ambassador
No, they are most unsympathetic, I'm afraid. Of course, if the ambassador hadn't taken against Fortnum so violently and insisted on driving himself, they'd have kindapped him, but he appears to be impervious to that line of reasoning.
Dr. Eduardo Plarr
Is there nothing you can do, Sir Henry?
Belfrage: British Ambassador
Alas, it's all... extremely ticklish. Apart from anything else the relations between us and the Argentinians are very shaky. It's not even as if the poor devil were any good at his job. All I ever hear about him is complaints.
Dr. Eduardo Plarr
Complaints?
Belfrage: British Ambassador
Yeah, that's right. Um, Fortnum's wife, that patient of yours, is um... undesirable. Curious, but in my experience, that word is only ever applied to woman who are quite the opposite... I'm doing all i can, you know. Really, I am. If he'd been a business tycoon, of course, things would have been quite different. Yeah, the trouble is... Fortnum's such a pitiably small bear.
