Hotel Rwanda Quotes

[first lines]
George Rutaganda:
[voiceover] When people ask me, good listeners, why do I hate all the Tutsi, I say, "Read our history." The Tutsi were collaborators for the Belgian colonists, they stole our Hutu land, they whipped us. Now they have come back, these Tutsi rebels. They are cockroaches. They are murderers. Rwanda is our Hutu land. We are the majority. They are a minority of traitors and invaders. We will squash the infestation. We will wipe out the RPF rebels. This is RTLM, Hutu power radio. Stay alert. Watch your neighbours.

Colonel Oliver:
We're here as peace keepers, not peace makers.

Paul Rusesabagina:
I am glad that you have shot this footage and that the world will see it. It is the only way we have a chance that people might intervene.
Jack:
Yeah and if no one intervenes, is it still a good thing to show?
Paul Rusesabagina:
How can they not intervene when they witness such atrocities?
Jack:
I think if people see this footage they'll say, "oh my God that's horrible," and then go on eating their dinners. [pause]
Jack:
What the hell do I know?

Paul Rusesabagina:
There will be no rescue, no intervention for us. We can only save ourselves. Many of you know influential people abroad, you must call these people. You must tell them what will happen to us... say goodbye. But when you say goodbye, say it as if you are reaching through the phone and holding their hand. Let them know that if they let go of that hand, you will die. We must shame them into sending help.

General, these are difficult times, we need to help one another.

And what help can I get from you, Paul?

You are a marked man, sir!

How so?
Paul Rusesabagina:
You're on a list, the Americans have you on a list as a war criminal.
General Bizimungu:
Paul, I am sick and tired of your lies.
Paul Rusesabagina:
Are you stupid General? How do you think these people operate? You sit here with five stars on your chest, who do you think they're coming after? [pause]
Paul Rusesabagina:
Fine, we will go to Gitzarama and you will stay on that list.
General Bizimungu:
I committed no war crimes.
Paul Rusesabagina:
Who will tell them? You need me to tell them how you helped at the hotel. They blame you for all their misfortunes. They say you lead the massacres
General Bizimungu:
I lead no massacres!
Paul Rusesabagina:
Do you think they will believe you?
General Bizimungu:
You will tell them the truth!
Paul Rusesabagina:
I will tell them nothing unless you help me. [General reaches for gun]
Paul Rusesabagina:
What- what are you going to do... shoot me? Shoot me. Please shoot me. It would be a blessing. I would pay you to shoot my family. You can not hurt me.
General Bizimungu:
You will tell them I did nothing!
Paul Rusesabagina:
We are leaving. Right now.
