• Capt. Andy Marshall : [Regarding the Boxers massed on the Tartar Wall]  No sign of activity, hmm?

  Sgt. Harry : No sir, I think they're all asleep.

  Capt. Andy Marshall : Ah, but we'd better not be Sergeant.

  [Nodding to sleeping soldiers] 

  Capt. Andy Marshall : You'd better wake them all up.

  Sgt. Harry : [to English Soldier]  Wake up!

  [to German Soldier] 

  Sgt. Harry : Guten Morgen!

  [to French Soldier] 

  Sgt. Harry : Bonjour! Bonjour!

  [to Italian Soldier] 

  Sgt. Harry : Buongiorno!

  [Picks up and looks at hat of Japanese Marine] 

  Sgt. Harry : ... Good Morning?

  Japanese Marine : Good Morning.

• Capt. Andy Marshall : No mother and practically no father. What else can I do? Now, she's at a French mission with a bunch of Chinese orphans.

  Maj. Matt Lewis : You're better than most fathers. At least you try to see her when you can.

  Capt. Andy Marshall : Yeah, but, leaving her at a mission is not my idea of how to raise a kid. What'll I do? Take her back to Illinois with me? How would a half-Chinese kid make out in Illinois?

  Maj. Matt Lewis : They'd treat her like a freak back home. She's better off here among her own kind.
