• Francois : Pardon me gentlemen, what seems to be the trouble?

  Stanley : Well, if you don't mind, we're going to jump in the river.

  Francois : But, why commit such a foolish action? Surely, your troubles can't be as bad as all that.

  Stanley : Well, that's what I've been trying to tell him.

  [points to Ollie] 

  Stanley : All because he fell in love with a dame. Now, isn't the silly?

  Francois : No woman is worth that.

  Stanley : I should say not.

  Oliver : You haven't seen her. If you knew her as I know her...

  Francois : I understand. But, don't you get, there are plenty more fish in the sea.

  Stanley : He's not in love with a fish. It's a girl!

• Francois : Well, advice is cheap. Maybe if you'd listen to my suggestion, your problem would be solved.

  Oliver : What is your suggestion?

  Francois : Join the Foreign Legion!

  Stanley : What for?

  Francois : To forget.

• Francois : Now, once more, I'm going to give you a piece of advice. Keep away from my wife! If I ever see or hear of you being in her presence again, I'll see to it that your worthless carcass lies sizzling in the desert sun at the mercy of the vultures! Do you understand?

  Oliver : Yes, sir.

  Stanley : [Francois turns and glares at Stan]  Yes, sir.
