“It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile,

Be yourself no matter what they say.”

John Hurt在英国人在纽约中饰演Quentin Crisp。讲述了Quentin Crisp从英国到纽约后的生活，他遇上的人，他遇上的事，他的激情演讲，他的默默流泪。他受人欢迎，激励他人，他被人误解，遭人攻击。第五大道上的徘徊，咖啡屋里的沉思。他从不介意。

I don′t take coffee I take tea my dear

I like my toast done on one side

And you can hear it in my accent when I talk

I′m an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue

A walking cane here at my side

I take it everywhere I walk

I′m an Englishman in New York

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York

Then he′s the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety

You could end up as the only one

Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society

At night a candle′s brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man

Takes more than a license for a gun

Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can

A gentleman will walk but never run

Then he′s the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York
