Mademoiselle Amy Jolly
- Amy Jolly: Every time a man has helped me, there has been a price. What's yours?
- La Bessiere: My price? A smile.
- Amy Jolly: I haven't got much more.
- Tom Brown: [Noticing an old photo on Amy's wall, in which she is elegantly attired] How long ago was that picture taken?
- Amy Jolly: Why?
- Tom Brown: That looks like Russian sable. That coat's worth a loada' shekels. Ya' still got it?
- Amy Jolly: Don't be absurd. If I still had that coat, I wouldn't be here.
- Amy Jolly: [singing, at the nightclub] What am I bid for my apple, the fruit that made Adam so wise? On the historic night, when he took a bite, they discovered a new paradise. An apple, they say, keeps the doctor away, while his pretty young wife has the time of her life, with the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker... Oh, what am I bid for my apple?
- Amy Jolly: [Bessiere has presented her with a very expensive-looking piece of jewelry] I can't accept this. It's worth a fortune.
- La Bessiere: Anything of less value would be unworthy of you.
- Tom Brown: What in the name of 10,000 purples did you come to a country like this for anyway?
- Amy Jolly: I understand that men are never asked why they enter the Foreign Legion.
- Tom Brown: That's right! They never asked me and if they had I wouldn't have told. When I crashed the Legion, I ditched the past.
- Amy Jolly: There's a Foreign Legion of women, too. But we have no uniforms, no flags, and no medals - when *we* are brave. No wound stripes - when *we* are hurt.
- Tom Brown: Look here, is there anything I can do to help you?
- Amy Jolly: No. I've thought that before. Or, do you think you can restore my faith in men?
- Tom Brown: Not me. You got the wrong man for that! Anybody who has faith in me is a sucker.
- Amy Jolly: You better go now. I'm - beginning to like you.
- Tom Brown: I've told women about everything a man can say. I'm going to tell you something I've never told a woman before: I wish I'd met you ten years ago.
- Amy Jolly: [a group of women with bundles over their shoulders are following the company of Legionnaires going on a mission] What are those women?
- La Bessiere: I'd call them the rear guard.
- Lo Tinto, Nightclub Owner: Don't waste your time down there. There's no money in the pit!
- Amy Jolly: Isn't there?
- [proceeds to the pit]
- La Bessiere: Possibly I can help you.
- Amy Jolly: Every time a man has helped me there's been a price. What's yours?
- La Bessiere: My price? A smile?
- Amy Jolly: I haven't got much more.
- Amy Jolly: Where is Tom Brown? Was he killed?
- Sergeant Tatoche: Not so rough, Mademoiselle. I'm liable to fall apart. We left him in at Amalfa. You can't kill that long drink of water.
