- Lady Patricia Brandon: If the sapphire is not returned by morning, I shall be more sorry than I can say - to know that one of you is a common thief!
- Sgt. Lejaune: What were you after?
- Boldini: A jewel - worth a fortune! The Englishman called Beau - he carries it in his belt.
- Michael 'Beau' Geste: Your plan to murder Lejaune and escape across the desert is madness! My brother and I have sworn to protect the flag of France - and we stand by that oath!
- Boldini: Lejaune knows all about the mutiny - who's in it - and when it's going to be. He'll use you loyal ones to kill the mutineers - and he'll see to it that you and all the rest of us die in that fight!
