Quotes from the Movie Alive (1993 film)

Hey, I'll pay for pizza if you go get it.

Carlitos

Those mountains must be 50 miles away. You think you can walk 50 miles?

Roberto

Do you know what it is that we've lived this long the way we have? 70 days? It's impossible. I's impossible and we did it. I'm proud to be a man on a day like this. Alive. That I lived to see it, and see it in such a place. Take it in. I love you, man. It's beautiful. It's God. And it'll carry us over every stone, I swear.

Nando

And so we were saved. Nando and Canessa breached the Andes and we were saved. Later, a group went back and buried the bodies. They built a rough stone altar by the grave and on top of it, they placed an iron cross. There's nothing more I can tell you. We were brought together by a grand experience.

Narrator

Between these mountains somewhere there's a green valley. See those mountains over there? There's no snow on them.

Nando

I think God would want us to survive. Strive to live.

And what about our innocence? What's going to become of our innocence if we survive as cannibals?

Are we supposed to fly that close to the mountains?

Federico

After 20 years, you analyze alot. You remember people, heroism. "The Miracle of the Andes", that's what they call it. Many people come up to me and say that they had been there, they surely would have died. But it makes no sense, because until you're in a... situation like that... you... you have no idea... how you'd behave. To be affronted by solitude decadence or a... single material thing to prostitude it elevates you to a sprititual plane, where I felt the presence of God. Now, there's a God they taught me about at school. And there is the God that's hidden by what surrounds us in this civilization. That's the God I met on the mountain.

Narrator

People are hurt, Antonio! I've only been in med school 6 months!

Gustavo

But when I'm playing rugby, rugby's the most important thing.
