- Robert Lindley: I know. We don't have any more German enemies, do we?
- Sterling: No authorized ones, anyway.
- Dr. Bernhardt: Sometimes I think we shall never get together on this earth until we find someone on Mars to hate.
- Robert Lindley: [looking at two Germans in the train] I wonder how they'll handle it.
- Sterling: Truthfully, I hope. Otherwise I'm wasting my valuable time. I'm in re-education. Seems pretty hopeless at times. I mean, what is more important than giving them the light to see?
- Robert Lindley: Giving them something to eat?
- Sterling: Your field?
- Robert Lindley: I do sleight of hand. We're supposed to make fifteen hundred calories look like an eight-course meal... and prevent things like plague and starvation.
- Perrot: What chance has a European got with an American around?
- Robert Lindley: I'm afraid you overestimate us.
- Perrot: Huh, not at all. How can we compete with your American charm, your chocolate...
- Sterling: Your soap?
- Perrot: Your cigarettes?
- Robert Lindley: Well, it's more blessed to give than to receive.
- Robert Lindley: I had a kid brother that fought close to a British outfit in Italy... the turning point of the war.
- Sterling: So, that's how American history will record it?
- Robert Lindley: What do you mean?
- Sterling: Well, the actual turning point of the war was El Alamein.
- Robert Lindley: Oh, you're quoting English history now.
- [they both chuckle]
