Which character in "The Bridge on the River Kwai" said...

So you think you are a fan of "The Bridge on the River Kwai." Let's see how well you know it. Match the following lines with the characters that spoke them. Can you get them all right?

  1. I can think of a lot of things to call Saito, but reasonable, that's a new one.

  2. One: Original bridgeworks reported abandoned. New construction downstream from first site. Two: Enemy intends to open railway with passage of special train, Bangkok to Rangoon with troops and VIP estimated to arrive target, AM, 13th. Three: You should synchronize demolition with pass of this train. Four: Good hunting. Have fun.

  3. He had the guts of a maniac. They were about to shoot him and he didn't bat an eye.

  4. Madness!...Madness! Madness!

  5. [on feeling down] It is quite understandable. It's a very natural reaction. But one day, in a week, a month, a year, on that day when God willing, we all return to our homes again, you're going to feel very proud of what you have achieved here in the face of great adversity. What you have done, should be, and I think will be, an example to all our countrymen, soldier and civilian alike. You have survived with honor, that and more, here in the wilderness. You have turned defeat into victory. I congratulate you. Well done.

  6. Don't bother about me, Colonel. I'm not anxious to get off the sick list.

  7. One day the war will be over. And I hope that the people that use this bridge in years to come will remember how it was built and who built it. Not a gang of slaves, but soldiers, British soldiers, Clipton, even in captivity.

  8. [on killing Joyce and Shears] I had to do it. I had to do it. They might have been captured alive. It was the only thing to do.

  9. All men will work. Your officers will work beside you. This is only just. For it is they who betray you by surrender. Your shame is their dishonor. It is they who told you: 'Better to live like a coolie than die like a hero.' It is they who brought you here, not I. Therefore, they will join you in useful labor. That is all.

  10. The fact is, what we're doing could be construed as, forgive me sir, collaboration with the enemy. Perhaps even as treasonable activity...Must we work so well. Must we build them a better bridge than they could have built for themselves?

  11. Are they both mad or am I going mad? Or is it the sun?

  12. You give me powders, pills, baths, injections, enemas - when all I need is love.
