Peter Whitman boards a train in India just as it leaves a station. It's the Darjeeling Limited, a luxury train where his brothers, Francis and Jack, are waiting for him. The three haven't seen each other in a year, since their father's funeral. The brothers have agreed to meet in the country for a spiritual journey aimed at finding themselves and making peace, so they can go back to being the brothers they once were. The film, directed by Wes Anderson, stars Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman, and its story revolves around the distance that still weighs on them as the train moves through the Indian landscape.

Quotes by The Darjeeling Limited

  • I love the way this country smells. I'll never forget it. It's kind of spicy.
  • I'll take the bottom bunk because I'm the oldest and my ankle's fractured.
  • [While Francis and Peter are fighting] Stop including me!
  • We haven't located us yet.
  • Maybe we could express ourselves more fully when we say it without words.
  • Jack: Ah, bon soir. S'il vous plait, je voudrais un verre de lait au chocolat et une soupe de oignon et un sandwich avec... How do you say grilled cheese? [mumbled French on from the phone] Merci, exactement, merci beaucoup.
