Guns of Darkness (1962)

David Opatoshu: Rivera

Quotes 

• Rivera : A year ago today I was advised to have General Zoreno shot.

  Claire Jordan : You should have listened.

• Rivera : I remember once when my son was a little boy, I took him to a fiesta. Hundreds of Indians came to town, galloping on horses and my little boy let go off my hand and ran out among those great hooves. I called him to return, but he would not come. I was sure he would be killed. The horses passed, and there was my little boy alive and well. I ran over to him and I struck him hard. It was out of great relief and love, but my little boy could not understand that.

• Rivera : What do you want, Mr. Jordan? A good reason for saving my life?

• Rivera : He's a very pure man. Or shall I say, a man of high ideals?

  Claire Jordan : Tom? Is he pure?

  Rivera : For him things have to be either right or wrong.

• Rivera : Women and Prime Ministers have to be a little complicated to survive, isn't that right?
