- Krivitch: Five hundred thousand fracs - quite a bundle, eh, Paymaster Sgt. Zachariades?
- Payroll Sgt. Zach Zachariades: Quite a bundle, Mr. Krivitch - that is, for one man.
- Manuel Gonzales: But when you divide it into 500 Legionnaire pay envelopes, it comes to not such a rich man.
- Payroll Sgt. Zach Zachariades: Not enough for a Legionaire to get married, is it Gonzales? Not enough even for a Spaniard like you.
- Krivitch: Gonzales, after you've been in business counting large sums of money that aren't yours as long as me and the sergeant, you'll begin to lose sight that it has value. You'll get no more thrill out of handling it the would counting, say, leaves of lettuce.
- Payroll Sgt. Zach Zachariades: A legionnaire in love is, how you say, like a starving man looking in the window of a delicatessen store. He cannot touch what he's crazy to have.
- Manuel Gonzales: What have I to cheer up about?
- Franca: Because you have me if nothing else.
- Manuel Gonzales: Is it that love is supposed to make a man happy?
- Franca: Well, doesn't it?
- Manuel Gonzales: In my country, it makes a man to be fierce, to be jealous, to want to swim miles out to sea and never come back.
- Franca: I don't like your country. In my country, to be in love is to be gay!
- Cuffy Sanders: What happened to Gonzales?
- Pvt. Fuzzy Knight: Love. Eight days in the stockade because Sgt. Zachariades was making goo goo eyes at Franca.
- Cuffy Sanders: Love is mush.
- Pvt. Fuzzy Knight: Love is a lot of things.
- Cuffy Sanders: Love ought to be abolished!
- Pvt. Fuzzy Knight: I'm afraid there wouldn't be much left.
- The Colonel: Gentlemen, the Legion does not allow its disciplinary action to be taken by the elements of the desert or unfriendly Arabs.
- Franca: They say he stole money so we could run away and get married. Well, I'm still here and *not* married! He wouldn't desert; he wouldn't run away without me.
