• Miss Baker Wise, M.P. : You're a human gun! They've turned you into a human rifle!

• Miss Baker Wise, M.P. : [Alarmed that Lauderdale has armed himself]  ... what you are doing can only produce more bloodshed!

  RSM Lauderdale : Well, that's a matter of opinion! I'm surprised at you, Ma'am! I thought you believed in all men bein' equal!

  Miss Baker Wise, M.P. : Of course, I do! That's exactly the point!

  RSM Lauderdale : [to Dodger]  Dodger!

  [to Miss Barker-Wise] 

  RSM Lauderdale : Well, they had guns and we didn't. That wasn't very equal, was it?

• Miss Baker Wise, M.P. : Who put guns into their hands? Who taught them to shoot? You!

  RSM Lauderdale : And if it wasn't for people like us, you wouldn't be able to walk around, spoutin' your smarmy, silly, bloody little half-baked ideas!

  Miss Baker Wise, M.P. : That remark, Sergeant-Major, may well cost you your rank!

  RSM Lauderdale : [to Sgt. Dunn]  Stay with her, Muscles, until she quiets down. See she doesn't leave the mess!

  Sgt. Muscles Dunn : Sir!

  RSM Lauderdale : Oh, what a right old cow! No wonder the officers dumped her onto us!

• Miss Baker Wise, M.P. : But Boni, I-I don't understand you. When you were in England you were so different.

  Lt. Boniface : Yes, I was one of your African mascots then, wasn't I? Sitting at your feet listening to you talk, my God, how you talked! No one talks better than the British; they drug you with talk and when you wake up they still have their heel on your neck.
