Betty is determined to escape from Iran, but taking her daughter with her presents a larger problem.

Taglines: In 1984, Betty Mahmoody's husband took his wife and daughter to meet his family in Iran. He swore they would be safe. They would be happy. They would be free to leave. He lied.

Quotes:

Moody: I don't know how to say this to you. We're not going back. We're staying here.::Betty Mahmoody: [pauses] What do you mean? How long?::Moody: I want to get a job here in a hospital.::Betty Mahmoody: What?::Moody: I want us... to live in Iran.::Betty Mahmoody: [softly] No... No...::Moody: There's nothing for me in America.::Betty Mahmoody: No... What? Are you crazy? We're Americans. Your daughter's an American! Moody, honey, you're upset about your job. I understand that. We're going to go back today and we're going to fix it.::Moody: I want Mahtob to grow up here.::Betty Mahmoody: [increasingly angry] No!::Moody: I think she should become a Muslim!::Betty Mahmoody: [screams] No! No! [pauses] You lied to me. You lied to me! You held the Koran and you swore to me that nothing was going happen. You were planning this all the time. You lied to me!

Betty Mahmoody: Baba Hajji, you're a religious man. How can Moody swear on the Koran and do this to me?::[Mammal translates, Babba Hajji gives an assertive answer and the entire family starts yelling at Betty in Farsi]::Mammal: Allah will forgive him!::[yelling continues, Betty starts crying]::Betty Mahmoody: No, no! Ameh Bozorg! Ameh Bozorg, please help me, please!::[Ameh Bozorg yells at Betty]::Betty Mahmoody: No, you can't do this! God damn you! God damn you! You can't keep me here! You had this planned all along! Damn you!

Betty Mahmoody: [Betty escapes from Moody into town after a violent outburst] Nicole, he's going to kill me!

Houssein: [to Betty] Gardens have always had a special place in Persia throughout our history. In fact, the word "paradise" is a Persian word. It's hard to believe, isn't it, that the idea of paradise will always be intimately connected with Iran. Whenever I think of what's happening to my country, I try to remember its gardens.

[referring to Ellen's husband]::Betty Mahmoody: Was he violent?::Ellen: No, not in the States, never. They're not supposed to, you know. It's not Islamic.

Betty Mahmoody: Have you become Muslim?::Ellen: Mm-hmm.::Betty Mahmoody: Did you convert?::Ellen: Well, I wanted to, I guess. My husband was happy I did. It made things a lot better.::[Ellen sees her husband waiting for her]::Ellen: Uh, I... I got to go.::Betty Mahmoody: Ellen, it's been so...::Ellen: No, really.::[Ellen runs to her husband]

Nicole: If you marry an Iranian man, you automatically become an Iranian citizen. The laws regarding women are very strict. You cannot travel anywhere without written permission. You have no rights to the children. They go to the man in a divorce. I'm sorry, but you *will* have to go back to your husband.::Betty Mahmoody: But we'll never get out of Iran. We're being held hostage! It was almost impossible to come here!::Nicole: Mrs. Mahmoody, there are many American women here in similar circumstances. [pauses] May I ask you why you came to Iran?::Betty Mahmoody: [pauses] I don't know. I don't know.

[Moody laughs unexpectedly]::Betty Mahmoody: What's so funny?::Moody: You know, they think we make love all the time.::Betty Mahmoody: Who?::Moody: The family.::Betty Mahmoody: Why?::Moody: Well... because here, you know, after they make love, they have to take a shower because, you know, they can't pray unless they do, you know. It's considered unclean. And we're taking two, three showers a day!::[Moody continues laughing]::Betty Mahmoody: Oh God! What do they think? We're two rabbits or something!::[Betty is now laughing]::Betty Mahmoody: I'm not taking another shower the whole time I'm here. You *knew* that the whole time!::Moody: They didn't know you were such a swinger!::Betty Mahmoody: You knew that all the long! They were all giggling every time we took a shower.

Betty Mahmoody: My father's ill. He could be dying. I have to go and see him.::Houssein: I don't think your father would have wanted you to go back if it meant losing your daughter.::Betty Mahmoody: Why can't I go and see him, come back, and leave later with Mahtob?::Houssein: You can't leave Mahtob here, not with Moody's family. They're from the provinces, and this regime only encourages them. There are some people who consider a girl ready for marriage at nine years of age. Child brides are not unknown.

Mahtob: Mahtob: I'll be with you... I'll help you

Gandhi (1982)

Actors: John Gielgud (actor), Richard Griffiths (actor), Edward Fox (actor), Ernest Clark (actor), Anang Desai (actor), David Gant (actor), Daniel Day-Lewis (actor), Tom Alter (actor), John Boxer (actor), Mohan Agashe (actor), Jalal Agha (actor), Ian Bannen (actor), Sudhir Dalvi (actor), Nigel Hawthorne (actor), Günther Maria Halmer (actor),

Plot: In 1893, Gandhi is thrown off a South African train for being an Indian and traveling in a first class compartment. Gandhi realizes that the laws are biased against Indians and decides to start a non-violent protest campaign for the rights of all Indians in South Africa. After numerous arrests and the unwanted attention of the world, the government finally relents by recognizing rights for Indians, though not for the native blacks of South Africa. After this victory, Gandhi is invited back to India, where he is now considered something of a national hero. He is urged to take up the fight for India's independence from the British Empire. Gandhi agrees, and mounts a non-violent non-cooperation campaign of unprecedented scale, coordinating millions of Indians nationwide. There are some setbacks, such as violence against the protesters and Gandhi's occasional imprisonment. Nevertheless, the campaign generates great attention, and Britain faces intense public pressure. Too weak from World War II to continue enforcing its will in India, Britain finally grants India's independence. Indians celebrate this victory, but their troubles are far from over. Religious tensions between Hindus and Muslims erupt into nation-wide violence. Gandhi declares a hunger strike, saying he will not eat until the fighting stops. The fighting does stop eventually, but the country is divided. It is decided that the northwest area of India, and eastern part of India (current day Bangladesh), both places where Muslims are in the majority, will become a new country called Pakistan (West and East Pakistan respectively). It is hoped that by encouraging the Muslims to live in a separate country, violence will abate. Gandhi is opposed to the idea, and is even willing to allow Muhammad Ali Jinnah to become the first prime minister of India, but the Partition of India is carried out nevertheless. Gandhi spends his last days trying to bring about peace between both nations. He thereby angers many dissidents on both sides, one of whom finally gets close enough to assassinate him.

Quotes:

Gandhi: I am a Muslim and a Hindu and a Christian and a Jew and so are all of you.

Gandhi: Whenever I despair, I remember that the way of truth and love has always won. There may be tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they may seem invincible, but in the end, they always fail. Think of it: always.

Nehru: Bapuji, the whole country is moving.::Gandhi: Yes. but in what direction?

Gandhi: An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

Nahari: I'm going to Hell! I killed a child! I smashed his head against a wall.::Gandhi: Why?::Nahari: Because they killed my son! The Muslims killed my son!::[indicates boy's height]::Gandhi: I know a way out of Hell. Find a child, a child whose mother and father have been killed and raise him as your own.::[indicates same height]::Gandhi: Only be sure that he is a Muslim and that you raise him as one.

Gandhi: They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me, then they will have my dead body. NOT MY OBEDIENCE!

Gandhi: We think it is time that you recognized that you are masters in someone else's home. Despite the best intentions of the best of you, you must, in the nature of things, humiliate us to control us. General Dyer is but an extreme example of the principle... it is time you left.

Kinnoch: With respect, Mr. Gandhi, without British administration, this country would be reduced to chaos.::Gandhi: Mr. Kinnoch, I beg you to accept that there is no people on Earth who would not prefer their own bad government to the good government of an alien power.::Brigadier: My dear sir! India *is* British. We're hardly an alien power! [silence]

Vince Walker: I met him once.::Collins: You mean Gandhi?::Vince Walker: Yeah, in South Africa, a long time ago. I wonder if he'll recognize me.::Collins: What was he like?::Vince Walker: He had a full head of hair then. We were a bit like college students, trying to figure everything out.::Collins: Well, he must have found some of the answers!

Gandhi: You're a temptress.::Margaret Bourke-White: Just an admirer!::Gandhi: Nothing is more dangerous, especially for an old man.
