- Sidi-Ben Youssiff: You lied to me. I've had my spies out all night. There are no British within 500 miles of here and you knew it.
- Officer: To meet you mademoiselle, is like coming across in the oasis in the desert.
- Lady Venetia Cunningham: Oh - thank you Monsieur. But you can't believe everything you see on the desert, you know - it may be a mirage.
- Maj. Doyle: Tortured, poor devils. Bare-headed, sun, food and water just out of reach. Sidi-Ben Youssiff never forgets the details.
- Rake: It gave me the creeps the way you looked at her. For a moment I thought it was someone who knew you. Seeing a lady like that again makes a man feel sort of homesick, doesn't it?
