Indochine (1992)

Gérard Lartigau: L'Admiral

Quotes 

• Guy : Give me Le Guen.

  L'Admiral : No.

  Guy : What will you do with him?

  L'Admiral : I'm awaiting orders from Paris.

  Guy : Let me question him. What he knows about the communist networks and leaders is of major interest to us.

  L'Admiral : Three points, Mr. Asselin. One: Le Guen doesn't talk. He hasn't spoken since his arrest. Not even to my chief of staff - his classmate. Two: If I hand him over to you, he might talk. But I'd rather not. We know your methods. Three: Le Guen is a sailor. His case will be tried by sailors. Any relevant information will be passed along to you.

  Guy : Thanks. Another example of Navy-Police cooperation. That's what makes empires great.

• L'Admiral : We shouldn't give these people ideas of victory.
