Quotes 

• Guy : Give me Le Guen.

  L'Admiral : No.

  Guy : What will you do with him?

  L'Admiral : I'm awaiting orders from Paris.

  Guy : Let me question him. What he knows about the communist networks and leaders is of major interest to us.

  L'Admiral : Three points, Mr. Asselin. One: Le Guen doesn't talk. He hasn't spoken since his arrest. Not even to my chief of staff - his classmate. Two: If I hand him over to you, he might talk. But I'd rather not. We know your methods. Three: Le Guen is a sailor. His case will be tried by sailors. Any relevant information will be passed along to you.

  Guy : Thanks. Another example of Navy-Police cooperation. That's what makes empires great.

• Eliane : Sometimes my despair lessens. It's like it's evaporated, gone. Sometimes it overwhelms me. Swear you're not hiding anything from me.

  Guy : Nothing's changed. We're looking everywhere for her. Our informers are going crazy. We follow every lead, but they're going nowhere. She's become a legend. Joan of Arc of Indochina.

• Guy : The innocent are kicked out. The guilty will be freed. Drink, my friends. Drink so I can forget my misfortunes.

• Guy : Con Dao Prison is the world's greatest communist factory. You get in as a criminal, a murderer, a prostitute, a nationalist - and you get out as a Marxist!

• Guy : You have no balls. Your pay, your bonuses, smoking and hooking up with submissive congaies, that, you know how to do. But when it comes to having ideas, nothing. It's because of sheep like you that France will lose the empire. And it'll only be fair. I feel like it's me against Asia. I'm tired.
