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.

[singing, at the nightclub]
What am I bid for my apple, the fruit that made Adam so wise? On the historic night, when he took a bite, they discovered a new paradise. An apple, they say, keeps the doctor away, while his pretty young wife has the time of her life, with the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker... Oh, what am I bid for my apple?

Good evening, officer.

Good evening.
La Bessiere
[Referring to Amy Jolly] Do you know who that woman is?
Ship's Deck Officer
[Indifferently] A vaudeville actress, probably.
La Bessiere
Uh, just, uh, how do you know that?
Ship's Deck Officer
Oh, we carry them every day. We call them 'suicide passengers.' One way ticket. They never return.

Sing your number once and then sell the apples. That's the most important thing. Sell the apples! 10 % is yours, 90 % is mine. You'll make a fortune!

Amy Jolly
You evidently don't think much of women.
Tom Brown
I tell you lady, it's their fault, not mine.

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
How do you like me now?

Miss Marten
Aren't you the painter La Bessire?...
La Bessiere
I paint when I find the time.

He has all the time that he needs. He would be a great painter if he were not so rich.
🧡

Anna Dolores
Perhaps you can give me the history of his wife?

I'd sit down if I were you.

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.

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.

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.

[first lines]
Sergeant Tatoche
Now listen here, fat-heads. We're back home again and that's because we did a little fighting. And I know what you're thinking. You're thinking: Well, here comes us, The Foreign Legion. Each man a hero, all the booze in the world made for us, and the women thrown in. But, you're wrong. This time, you're gonna behave yourselves like gentlemen even if it'll kills you. Yes, I'm talking to you, you heard what I said!

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

Husband? I never found a man good enough for that.
Tom Brown
That's just the way I feel about women.

Where is Tom Brown? Was he killed?

Lo Tinto, Nightclub Owner
[At the nightclub, to the newly arrived Amy Jolly]
Now, you may have heard of me, or not. My house is patronized by the finest society in Morocco... Now, what was I going to say?... Oh, yes: Pick yourself a protector. It will give you prestige. An officer in the Legion. They will tell you that the officers in the Legion are unimportant, that the common Legionnaire is the thing. They will tell you that Private so-and-so is a Russian prince or an ex-general, that he joined the Legion to forget his past. Don't believe it! The Private is a 'nobody' at 75 centimes per day... Pick the officers - THEY have the money!
