Capt. Denny Roark : Listen.
Julia Ashton Wister : What is it?
Capt. Denny Roark : Bedouin music.
Julia Ashton Wister : Strange and wistful, isn't it?
Capt. Denny Roark : I've heard that love song a thousand times. The next time it sounds like the first.
Julia Ashton Wister : Somehow, it seems to go with the desert and the night. Sort of a melodic will-o-the-wisp, that dares your emotions to follow it.
-
Capt. Denny Roark : I don't know what it is.
Julia Ashton Wister : I know. It's life - and the desire to live every moment! So that, if it would be your last, you could die laughing - because it owes you nothing.
Capt. Denny Roark : Maybe that.
Julia Ashton Wister : It is that! I know! That's a beautiful way to live. Never lose that. Never let your life live from one dawn to the other. Fly into your tomorrows!
-
Capt. Denny Roark : We better button down the windows. We're in for a blow.

Grace Roark : I've learned another kind of love, from that which comes from wanting and having. A quiet kind, that watches and shares in someone's life without that someone knowing. I've watched John's career and it's made me proud. I've seen his fineness of character and its dignified my love, justified it. I've seen him in love. It hurts. But, I'm even sharing that; because, she could never love him anymore than he can love me. You can learn to love that way too.
Capt. Denny Roark : No man could love as much as that.
-
Julia Ashton Wister : Denny, it's not dangerous, is it?
Capt. Denny Roark : If it were, you'd hear my knees rattling all over the place.
Julia Ashton Wister : I'm frightened.
Capt. Denny Roark : You shouldn't be. Why, if I thought there were any risks, I'd be saying all sorts of silly things to you, like - I love you.
Julia Ashton Wister : You mustn't say that.
Capt. Denny Roark : I won't - again.
-
Capt. Denny Roark : He's not coming back.
Julia Ashton Wister : Why'd he do it, Denny?
Capt. Denny Roark : To give us that - another dawn.
-
Capt. Denny Roark : It's not greed that prompts his raiding. It's the good Muslim hatred of Christians.
-
Capt. Denny Roark : These Arabs have pretty nasty ideas for entertaining prisoners.
-
Capt. Denny Roark : Why so pensive? This wind sandpapering your nerves a little?
Julia Ashton Wister : It is a bit nagging, isn't it?
Capt. Denny Roark : Rather. It's been known to make mutes scream. The natives call them winds of madness. They're so full of electricity that anybody's liable to blow a fuse.
-
Col John Wister : Can he be bribed?
Capt. Denny Roark : He might, Sir. For a terrific amount.
-
Grace Roark : So, you think you can go on? The three of you?
Capt. Denny Roark : Yes.
-
Capt. Denny Roark : Julia, you shouldn't be here, should you?
Julia Ashton Wister : Its quite all right. You see, I, I've come to say goodbye. I'm leaving you and John and Dickit, forever.
