Harry Smith:
[after the restaurant bombing] You and your cruddy Syrian patriots.
Nasir Aboud: They were after Colonel Feroud.
Harry Smith: They almost got *me*.
Nasir Aboud: You eat with the French, you get what the French get.

Harry Smith:
[getting her a drink] For you - chartreuse!
Violette: I want to tell you why I came.
Harry Smith: [giving her the drink] Whatever it is, it will look better through the bottom of this glass.
Violette: I want to tell you why I came.
Harry Smith: [giving her the drink] Whatever it is, it will look better through the bottom of this glass.
Harry Smith:
[to Arthur, confessing he's broke] It's a great life. You go around in a big circle and come right back to the beginning.
Harry Smith:
[to Violette] I've got a pass. I'm going to Cairo. You still want to go along? Oh, I can't show you as good a time as I could before because I'm broke. The French took all my money, but don't worry. As long as it keeps getting dark, I can always get some.
Harry Smith:
I sure thought you were a goner.
Col. Feroud: Buying my freedom was your idea, I suppose.
Harry Smith: Yes, it was.
Col. Feroud: Why did you do it? I should think you'd want to see me out of the way.
Harry Smith: I made a little money on the deal.
Col. Feroud: I see.
Harry Smith: I saved your life and you seem to resent it.
Col. Feroud: I do.
Harry Smith: Maybe you should have had me shot after all.
Col. Feroud: I agree.

Harry Smith:
You look like the kind of fella who might be married.
Major Jean Leon: Yes. Matter of fact, I just celebrated a wedding anniversary.
Harry Smith: Any kids?
Major Jean Leon: Just one. A boy.
Harry Smith: You gonna send him to St. Cyr?
Major Jean Leon: Yes, if he wants to be a soldier.
Harry Smith: That's fine. He'll follow in your footsteps. That's great. It's a great life. Nothing like handing it down to a bunch of kids. They'd break your neck if they knew what was coming.

Nasir Aboud:
[hearing gunfire] It's a French gun.
Harry Smith: What do you care whose gun it is as long as it isn't aimed at you?
Harry Smith: What do you care whose gun it is as long as it isn't aimed at you?
Nasir Aboud:
Hey, what's the matter with you?
Balukjiaan: Nothing is the matter. Why?
Nasir Aboud: You look sick.
[to his assistant]
Nasir Aboud: Doesn't he look sick?
Nasir's assistant: Yeah!
Balukjiaan: I'm never sick!
Nasir Aboud: That's what my poor father said just before he died.
Balukjiaan: Nothing is the matter. Why?
Nasir Aboud: You look sick.
[to his assistant]
Nasir Aboud: Doesn't he look sick?
Nasir's assistant: Yeah!

Nasir Aboud: That's what my poor father said just before he died.
Achmet:
What an oddity you are, Mr. Smith, - an American in Damascus. No morals! No political convictions!
Harry Smith: I've had a few.
Achmet: I find that difficult to believe.
Harry Smith: I had a bellyful of them. I left them in the states with my first wife!
Achmet: Isn't there anything you believe in?
Harry Smith: You mean right now? Sure!
[looking through the envelope of money he has just been paid off with]
Harry Smith: I believe in this, and it's two thousand short!
