- Capt. Phillipe Esclavier: Stop!

- Capt. Phillipe Esclavier: Don't call them wogs. This officer is an Arab, and that's the "Croix de Guerre" he won in Indochina.
- Lt. Col. Pierre Raspeguy: Since when do women run the army?
- Capt. Phillipe Esclavier: It's been going on for longer than peasants have been allowed to become officers.
- Capt. Phillipe Esclavier: I'd like to know what I'm fighting for. Not just fighting for the sake of fighting.
- Capt. Phillipe Esclavier: We're worse than animals.
- Lt. Col. Pierre Raspeguy: Don't call me an animal.

- Capt. Phillipe Esclavier: Go to hell, without me.
- Lt. Col. Pierre Raspeguy: Come on. We have work to do.
- Capt. Boisfeuras: Are Arab women better lovers?
- Capt. Phillipe Esclavier: That's my business.
- Lt. Col. Pierre Raspeguy: It's also mine when you go messing around with casbah girls. They're all dangerous.
- Aicha Mahidi: I'm Aicha.
- Capt. Phillipe Esclavier: No last name?
- Aicha Mahidi: Arabs don't have last names, do they? Girl, do this. Boy, bring my drink.
- Capt. Phillipe Esclavier: Let me carry that.
- Aicha Mahidi: In our country, Arab women carry for the men.
- Capt. Phillipe Esclavier: And walk behind them. Shall I go first?
- Aicha Mahidi: No. That would mean I'm your woman.
- Capt. Phillipe Esclavier: Here, come and sit with me.
- Aicha Mahidi: You're asking a little Moorish whore to sit at your table?
