Life of Pi (film) Quotes

Adil Hussain as Santosh Patel

• (Tabu) "Yes, that is true. Science is very good at teaching us what is out there --"
• (Tabu) "But not what is in here."

• (Tabu) "Then the ship sank. What else do you want from me?"
• (Younger Insurance Investigator) "A story that won't make us look like fools."
• (Older Insurance Investigator) "We need a simpler story for our report. One our company can understand. A story we can all believe."
• (Tabu) "So, a story without things you've never seen before."
• (Older Insurance Investigator) "That's right."
• (Tabu) "Without surprises, without animals, or islands?"
• (Older Insurance Investigator) "Yes, the truth."
• (Rafe Spall) "So, what did you do?"
• (Adult Pi Patel) "I told them another story."

• (Tabu) "Why are you scaring him? I lost my family. I lost everything. I surrender. What more do you want?"

• (Tabu) "Words are all I have left to hang on to. Everything's all mixed up, fragmented, can't tell daydreams, nightdreams from reality anymore."

• (Tabu) "We're dying, Richard Parker. I'm sorry."

• (Tabu) "What does this mean?"
• (Tabu) "In the dance, you went from pataka which means the forest. And then you did, and you did -- samputa, which means something that is hidden. And after that you did this -- And then you did chatura. But at the very end, you did this."
• (Tabu) "None of the other dancers did that. What did you mean? The god of love is hiding in the forest?"
• (Shravanthi Sainath) "No, that also means the lotus flower."
• (Tabu) "Lotus flower is hiding in the forest? Why would a lotus flower hide in the forest?"

• (Tabu) "Richard Parker, come out you have to see this. It's beautiful."

• (Tabu) "For castaways who must share their lifeboats with large, dangerous carnivores, it is advisable to establish a territory as your own. The following course of action is recommended. Step one: Choose a day when waves are moderate, but regular. Step two: with the lifeboat facing into the waves, making the ride as comfortable as possible, blow your whistle soothingly. Step three: turn the boat sideways to the waves, accompanied by harsh, aggressive use of the whistle. With sufficient repetition, the animal will associate the sound of the whistle with the discomfort of seasickness. Similar methods have long been used by circus trainers, though they generally lack access to rough seas."
• (Tabu) "MINE. You understand? Yours, mine. You understand?"
• (Tabu) "Step four: disregard steps one through three."

• (Tabu) "I never thought a small piece of shade could bring me so much happiness. That a pile of tools, a bucket, a knife, a pencil, might become my greatest treasures. Or that knowing Richard Parker was here might ever bring me peace. In times like these, I remember that he has as little experience of the real world as I do. We were both raised in a zoo by the same master. Now we've been orphaned, left to face our ultimate master together. Without Richard Parker, I would have died by now. My fear of him keeps me alert. Tending to his needs gives my life purpose."

• (Tabu) "It's a thunderstorm. Let's go watch."

My father owned the zoo, and I was delivered on short notice by a herpetologist, who was there to check on the Bengal monitor lizard.
