Cary Grant as Sgt. Archibald Cutter

• (Cary Grant) "You're mad."
• (Eduardo Ciannelli) "Mad? Mad. Hannibal was mad, Caesar was mad, and Napoleon surely was the maddest of the lot. Ever since time began, they've called mad all the great soldiers in this world. Mad? We shall see what wisdom lies within my madness. For this is but the spring that precedes the flood. From here we roll on. From village to town. From town to mighty city. Ever mounting, ever widening, until at last my wave engulfs all India."

• (Cary Grant) "How can we get a nice little war going?"

• (Sgt. 'Mac' MacChesney) "Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Cutter, you ain't leaving this village without my permission. Give me that bottle."

• (Cary Grant) "Now you're all under arrest. Her Majesty's very touchy about having her subjects strangled."

• (Cary Grant) "Now get me some tools. Something to rip these blinking bars out."

Eduardo Ciannelli as Guru

• (Eduardo Ciannelli) "You seem to think warfare an English invention. Have you never heard of Chandragupta Maurya? He slaughtered all the armies left in India by Alexander the Great. India was a mighty nation then while Englishmen still dwelt in caves and painted themselves blue."

• (Eduardo Ciannelli) "Oh Thugs lift up your faces to the light that shines from Kali's throne."
• (Unnamed) "Kali."
• (Eduardo Ciannelli) "Oh brothers of Thuggee we are defenders of this earth. An immense hand is against us. We have been kicked, spat upon and driven to the hills like wild pigs. My father was a thug and he was hanged. His father was blown from the cannon's mouth. And what of your kinsmen, your fathers and their fathers and their father's fathers before them? Oh my brothers a new day is at hand. I have read the omens and they are good. Three nights ago a jackal screamed up on the left, another answered from the right at once."
• (Unnamed) "Kali."
• (Eduardo Ciannelli) "What does that mean my brothers? It means that mother Kali with all her arms outstretched hugs us to her bosom. Welcoming us back as Thugs, Thugs awakened from a sleep of 50 years. Let the neophytes and their teachers draw near. Where are the stranglers?"
• (Eduardo Ciannelli) "Give them their strangling cloths."
• (Unnamed) "Kali."
• (Eduardo Ciannelli) "Give them their burial picks."
• (Unnamed) "Kali."

• (Eduardo Ciannelli) "Chata, take him to the tower and teach him the error of false pride."

• (Eduardo Ciannelli) "I want to know about your army."
• (Cary Grant) "Why don't you enlist, mate?"
