Kitty Fremont:
[to Ari, discussing Jewish history in Jezreel] Can't you understand that you make me feel like a Presbyterian when you can't, just for a minute or two, forget that you're a Jew?
Barak Ben Canaan: God, don't let my brother die at the end of a British rope.
[Jewish Ari Ben Canaan is masquerading as a gentile British officer named Bowen]
Maj. Caldwell: [about Jews] They look funny too. I can spot one a mile away.
Ari Ben Canaan: [pointing at his eye] Would you mind looking into my eye, sir? It feels like a cinder.
Maj. Caldwell: Yes, certainly.
[Caldwell looks into Ben Canaan's eye]
Maj. Caldwell: You know, a lot of them try to hide under gentile names, but one look at their face, you just know.
Ari Ben Canaan: With a little experience, you can even smell them out.
Maj. Caldwell: I'm sorry Bowen, I can't find a thing.
