Lady Diana Stonehill : Take me...
Hugh Rand : [Looking at a disheveled Diana] The paint's all peeled off - there's nothing tempting about you now -...
-
Hugh Rand : [Overcome by Diana's beauty] Three years away from the world - - a man almost forgets there are women like you...
-
Hugh Rand : Vultures - waiting for your bodies! What a meal Steve would make!
-
Lady Diana Stonehill : Listen, Good-looking - why don't you use a little reason? Guide us out of here - - and we'll split the diamonds with you - - Once out of here - I may even - - drop Steve.
Hugh Rand : The diamonds are mine - and you'll be mine when I want you.
-
Hugh Rand : [after a desperate Diana threatens to drink salt water] It's a slow death - and the vultures won't wait till life has left your body!

Lady Diana Stonehill : What?
Hugh Rand : From Steve.

Hugh Rand : I hadn't minded it so much - until now.

Lady Diana Stonehill : Hello, Good-looking - how are you enjoying the hunting trip?
Hugh Rand : As a hostess, you're a pretty slick crook - *Lady* Diana!
-
Lady Diana Stonehill : Nothing but sun and sand! Are we ever going to reach water?
Hugh Rand : I've drawn the last from the barrel! If you're a good girl, I'll give you a swallow when we camp!

Hugh Rand : Buck up, you brave diamond thief! There's sure to be water over that hill!

Lady Diana Stonehill : Can't you join us for our hunt? I am sure father would be delighted.

Hugh Rand : My foot is on a button that will summon a hundred guards.
Lord Stonehill : My machine gun will mow them down like weeds.

Lord Stonehill : Careful what you say to my daughter!
Hugh Rand : Daughter my eye!

Hugh Rand : Hyenas! Don't fall asleep. They might think you dead - and start in on your carcass.

Lord Stonehill : [pulls out a gun] Don't go too far!
Hugh Rand : [pulls out a gun] We'll both shoot! You get me - I get you - and the hyenas get Baby!

Lord Stonehill : [on his knees, eyes closed] Save me! I promise to lead a better life! Be merciful! Lend guidance to Rand.
Hugh Rand : Hey, you old crook! Leave my name out of your prayers! Come on, hypocrite! We'll find some water to baptize you!
