Pandora and the Flying Dutchman Movie Quotes

Pandora Reynolds [looking at Hendrik's painting of her] It's not me as I am at all. But it's what I'd like to be.

[looking at Hendrik]

Pandora Reynolds Why am I not like that?

Hendrik Perhaps because you're unfulfilled. Perhaps you've not found what you want. Perhaps you do not even know what you want, perhaps you're discontented. Discontent appeases itself by fury and destruction.

Pandora Reynolds [suddenly angry] Fury and destruction! Is that your opinion? Well perhaps I can find something here to destroy.

Hendrik I have no doubt you will.

Pandora Reynolds Your painting of me, for example. Would you like me to destroy your painting?

Hendrik [calmly] If it would help to quiet your soul.

Pandora Reynolds How long have you worked at it?

Hendrik [still perfectly calm] Does it matter?

Pandora Reynolds Is there any reason why I shouldn't remove my face from your painting, if I wish to?

Hendrik None at all.

Pandora Reynolds [picks up a palette knife] Shall I do it then?

Hendrik By all means.

Pandora Reynolds [Pandora uses the knife to deface the painting. Hendrik watches then calmly and wordlessly comes over to inspect the damage]

[stunned by his calmness]

Pandora Reynolds Aren't you angry?

Hendrik I was angry once long ago. I can never be angry again.

Pandora Reynolds [pause, then quietly] You've made me feel quite ashamed. It's a new sensation, I'm not sure I like.

Pandora Reynolds [singing] Oh, how am I to know, If it's really love, That's found its way here? Oh, how am I to know, Will it linger on, And leave me then? I dare not guess, At this strange happiness, For, oh, How am I to know, Can it be that love, Has come to stay here?

🥱

Hendrik What would you give up?

Pandora Reynolds I've asked myself that question.

Hendrik Your life, for instance? Would you give up your life?

Pandora Reynolds Yes, I would. I'd die for you without the least hesitation. I know that sounds extravagant. But, I thought about it and I mean it. I'd give up my life for you. That's the measure of my love. And you? What would you give up?

Hendrik My salvation.

Pandora Reynolds But, that's even more than life.

Pandora Reynolds You seem to have been expecting me.

Hendrik Let mortal fools live in a wicked world. Faith is a lie and God himself is chaos!

Judge Silence!

Hendrik Faith is a lie and heaven a deception!

Judge Silence, I said. Silence!

Hendrik A man might have immortal life and wander for all the generations of man, over all the oceans of the world. Let him sail to the end of doomsday! He will find no woman faithful and fair. If this be folly, and upon me proved, then let the Divinity that I reject, make what sport He *will* - of my immortal soul!

Geoffrey Fielding If I say that I have two samples of handwriting three centuries apart, everyone will say "Poor Geoffrey's lost his wits". Because we live in a time that has no faith in legends, we live in a time that has no faith.

Hendrik My mind was a hive of swarming gadflies, whose stings were my remorseless thoughts. Visions of her unchastity. Mad. Shameful. Bestial imaginings.

Hendrik "The Sea of Faith, Was once, too, at the full - The world, which seems, To lie before us like a land of dreams - Has really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; But we are here as on a darkling plain, Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night."

Pandora Reynolds I know that poem. It's an English poem.

Hendrik Yes.

Pandora Reynolds Not that a Dutchman should be able to quote an English poem. But, I got over big surprises at you a long time ago.

Hendrik It's a poem about the sea. I know a great deal about the sea.

Pandora Reynolds You love the sea.

Hendrik Love the sea?

[kiss]

Pandora Reynolds I've changed so since I've known you. I'm not cruel and hateful as I used to be. Hurting people because I was so unhappy myself. I know now what destructiveness comes from. It's a lack of love. It's as simple as that.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Pandora Reynolds You're so silent. But, it isn't easy to find words for big emotions. Although, I seem to have found them. I've bottled up my emotions for so long, I had to speak or explode. You have no idea the things I've imagined myself saying to you.

Hendrik How long do you think it's been since you came in here?

Pandora Reynolds Oh, I don't know. Not very long. It seems - timeless.

Hendrik Yes. Timeless. As if we were enchanted.

Pandora Reynolds Yes.

Hendrik All my centuries of solitude, when my despair was so great, I prayed to die. It's as if they'd never been.

🥱

Pandora Reynolds I can hardly think back, even to yesterday.

Hendrik Because yesterday and all that went before was imperfect, unfulfilled, unreal. But, our love is real. It has not sense of time.

Pandora Reynolds Darling, I think I understand what you're trying to tell me. I've no need to ask for a week, a month, a year.

Hendrik No need.

Pandora Reynolds It's as if - we're under a spell. Outside of time. Unending.

Hendrik Unending.

Janet He loved you.

Pandora Reynolds What is love?

Janet You're old enough to know.

Geoffrey Fielding Why do you make yourself out so bad?

Pandora Reynolds I don't have to. I leave that to others.

Pandora Reynolds Reggie was always talking about suicide. I coaxed him out of it night after night. I finally get fed up with alcoholic self-pity and threats of self-destruction. I was bored with it. It's over now and I'm not sorry. Anyhow, life is not important. Not when it's somebody else's life.

Pandora Reynolds There's a strange yacht in the bay.

Stephen Cameron It doesn't take much to set you reeling. I suppose you imagine your destiny's on board that boat - along with Nelson or the Flying Dutchman.

Pandora Reynolds Who is the Flying Dutchman, Stephen?

Stephen Cameron I haven't the vaguest idea.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Janet I love you, Pandora. I lie awake at night wondering what I can do to make you believe how much I love you.

Pandora Reynolds What would you do for me, Stephen? What perfectly, incredible thing would you do for me?

Janet I would do anything. Anything.

🧡

Geoffrey Fielding The legend says the Flying Dutchman is allowed to land once every seven years, to look for the woman who can redeem him.

Pandora Reynolds Redeem him from what?

Geoffrey Fielding His curse! He's doomed to wander the sea till judgement day as the captain of a ghost ship; unless, he can find a woman who loves him enough to die for him.

Hendrik No work of art is complete, until the element of chance has entered into it. The unexpected and the surprising are indispensable.

🧡

🥱

Hendrik Pandora was the first woman, the Eve of Greek legend, who's curiosity cost us our earthly paradise.

[referring to his painting]

Hendrik I was wrong to portray her as a particular woman - no matter how beautiful. Pandora should appear as woman in the abstract. Bride and mother. The original, generic, egghead, from which we can imagine the whole human race to have been hatched.
