Quotes 

• Yvon Mageot : Listen, Erica, before you say anything, I'm not very proud of that little stunt I pulled back in Cairo.

  Erica Baron : Some of the most charming men in history have been utter cads, Yvon.

• Yvon Mageot : [to Erica]  I'm sorry I slapped you. If you want to hit me back, feel perfectly free; but, for God's sake, *stop* screaming.

• Erica Baron : I'm sorry. I haven't even thanked you for saving my life.

  Yvon Mageot : So, why don't we have dinner. You shouldn't be alone tonight.

  Erica Baron : I don't think I'm in the mood.

• Yvon Mageot : I wouldn't get overwrought with grief, if I were you. Hamdi had a rather nasty side to him. You don't acquire a shop like his in a place like this without dealing with some pretty dirty people.

• Yvon Mageot : Now what?

  Erica Baron : I suppose the next thing is to go to Luxor. That's where most of Mernephtah's major work was at.

  Yvon Mageot : I think I can get us on the sleeping car this afternoon.

  Erica Baron : Us?

• Yvon Mageot : You seem very forgiving all of the sudden.

  Erica Baron : I have a very forgiving nature.

  Yvon Mageot : Yes - and I think perhaps you also want something from me.

• Yvon Mageot : Does this mean I'm forgiven?

  Erica Baron : Well, it could mean a lot of things if you play your cards right.
