Quotes 

• Mme. Henriette Corlay : [to Metard, who is impersonating her son]  There are women, monsieur, who give their love but once. I think Ann's one of them. When you go...

  Bertrand Corlay : [Capt. Metard playing Bertrand Corlay]  It's not I she loves... it's your son.

  Mme. Henriette Corlay : I don't think you believe that. Monsieur, don't make her suffer any more.

• Col. von Steffan : [first discernable lines in English] 

  [startled as Corlay - disguised as an Arab chauffeur - abruptly stops the car] 

  Col. von Steffan : What's wrong?

  Bertrand Corlay : [smugly turns around to face the colonel]  Nothing's wrong... Colonel von Steffan. You are doing a fine job for Germany. A revolt of the desert tribes' men will serve your country very well. But you see colonel, I have a country too; and I have a job to do!

  [quickly shoots von Steffan before he can draw his gun, then steals his briefcase after he is obviously dead] 

• Bertrand Corlay : You know, there is something about the beard that attracts every insect in the desert. They meet. They fall in love. They raise families... whole future generations.
