"Huzur Biswambhar Roy: [laughing drunkenly, deriding the moneylender's son, Ganguly] He failed. He failed! Huzur Biswambhar Roy: [now talking to his servant Ananta, who is refilling his glass with liquor] He couldn't do it. He couldn't do it! That moneylender's son! He wanted to be king of the mountain. What arrogance, huh? What arrogance! A dwarf reaching for the moon! He couldn't do it. You know why he failed? Huzur Biswambhar Roy: [speaking directly to Ananta] Blood! The blood in my veins! You know whose blood flows in my veins? You want to see? Come... Huzur Biswambhar Roy: [proceeding to point out portraits on the wall of his elders] My father... my grandfather... my great grandfather... my great-great grandfather."
"Huzur Biswambhar Roy: Have you seen Ganguli's new house? Roy's Servant: Yes, master. Huzur Biswambhar Roy: What do you think? What's it like? Roy's Servant: Quite modern. Not as royal as our palace. No music room, no fountain, no garden, no temple - as you might expect."
