Slumdog Millionaire – Guión
- First you order a dishwasher, now you want this fuckin´ cook, huh?
- Come away? Where? And live on what?
- The guy from the slums… becomes a millionaire overnight. You know who is the only
other person who´s done that? Me.
- Go… just drive. There won´t be another chance… and for what I have done, please
forgive me.
- I´ll give you five hundred rupees if you just admit it. You go home, I go home.
Everybody happy. If we let her in, she could be the third musketeer.
- Money or women. The reason for most mistakes in life. Looks like you got mixed up
with both.
- The time has come to choose: the life of a slum dog or the life of a man. A real man.
A gunfighter!
- I don´t give a shit about her. Plenty of pussy in Bombay… Oh, yes, sir! You should
come down the Cages on Saturday night instead of searching for your lost love.
- Maman´s boys are after us. Had to skip. Left a message at reception. Waited weeks
for you in Nagpur.
