Quotes 

• Nigel Costairs : Well, you've got to start somewhere.

  Ivan Kalin : At the top! I'm not a kid anymore. And America's the place to do it in. There's only one thing I need.

  Nigel Costairs : I can let you have a little money.

  Ivan Kalin : Thanks. But I can get money if I can get a reputation. And that's what I have to leave with, if I expect to be anything in America.

  Nigel Costairs : There's a desperation about all this. It isn't like you.

  Ivan Kalin : You're an Englishman. Sapporo's Japanese. I have no country. I've nothing.

  Nigel Costairs : Those are just words, Ivan.

  Ivan Kalin : Feelings. And very few people can understand what it's like to be born into this world through no fault of their own, and find yourself a displaced person. A citizen of the world. Without a passport and no place to go. A man, a man needs roots. He has to belong.

  Nigel Costairs : Well, there really is a human being under there. What are you going to do?

  Ivan Kalin : What I have to do. Anything. Anybody.
