• Colonel : No doubt you've heard that life is present in this regiment. That's a fashionable catch-all for young men of good family with no talents to speak of. That we're called the gay policemen because we do little more than stand guard here and there a few hours a day and keep the peace, such as it is in Seville. The rest of the time, you may have heard...

  Don José Lizarabengoa : Oh, no, sir.

  Colonel : The rest of the time is spent in the consumption of great quantities of wine and gambling and making love to the girls in the cigarette factory. There are approximately 200 of these girls. The factory is next door to the barracks. A great convenience and blessing to the dragoons.

• Colonel : The people here in Andalusia are a different breed from your northerners.

• Colonel : I advise you to avoid this gypsy. I grant you the girl is - interesting. But, for a young man who takes his future seriously, a girl like that spells ruin! For an older man who has nothing to lose and has time for a little foolish indulgence, that's another matter, perhaps.
