• 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.

• 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.

• Tom Brown : [Visiting Amy Jolly's apartment]  You've made this place look pretty nice. It looks different now.

  Amy Jolly : [Suddenly suspicious]  How do you know? Have you... been here before?

  Tom Brown : [Coyly]  Well... I've been stationed in this town for a long time...

• Tom Brown : I'd sit down if I were you.

  Amy Jolly : You're pretty brave - with women.

  Tom Brown : What's the matter? Don't you like brave men?

  Amy Jolly : Perhaps.

• Tom Brown : Two weeks pay is a lot of money for an apple.

  Amy Jolly : You can have it for nothing, if you like.

  Tom Brown : Nothing doing. I always pay for what *I* get.

  [Accompanying soldiers applaud] 

• Madame Caesar : Tom, I must see you tonight.

  Tom Brown : See me tonight? What if your husband sees you tonight?

  Madame Caesar : He isn't going to see me...

  Tom Brown : Isn't he? What if he does?

  Madame Caesar : [Coyly, quoting a classic line from the time of Julius Caesar]  Caesar's wife is above suspicion.

  Tom Brown : Yeah? You may know something about ancient history, but I know something about husbands.

  [Gives her a little salute and walks off] 

• Tom Brown : Anybody who has faith in me is a sucker.

• Tom Brown : There's a hundred ways of dyin', brother, and I'm pickin' my own way.

• 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 : You evidently don't think much of women.

  Tom Brown : I tell you lady, it's their fault, not mine.

• Tom Brown : You've a lot of pictures of that man. Your husband?

  Amy Jolly : Husband? I never found a man good enough for that.

  Tom Brown : That's just the way I feel about women.

• Tom Brown : It's good that you found me. This quarter isn't safe at night. I'd better take you home.

  [picks up Amy, carries her down the street and lets her down] 

  Tom Brown : 120?

  Amy Jolly : No, I wish I were. I only feel so light to you; because your arms are so powerful.

• Tom Brown : I've been looking for the right kind of woman all my life and I think I've found her. So I quit! Take this dame and spend a few weeks somewhere along the blue Mediterranean.

• Tom Brown : [gun fire and the Legionnaires hit the turf]  I don't see why we have to keep getting down all day? We only have to get up again. Anyhow, those walking bed sheets can't shoot straight.

• Amy Jolly : Oh! It's you?

  Tom Brown : What's the matter? Were you expecting someone else?

  Amy Jolly : Can I offer you something? Cognac?

  Tom Brown : Too hot. Got any gin?

  Amy Jolly : Yes. Cigarette?

  Tom Brown : Thanks.
