Maj. Ali Tufan:
What has Miss Lipp to say? Did you hear her talk to anyone?
Arthur Simon Simpson: Yes, I heard her speak to Mr. Harper.
Maj. Ali Tufan: What did she say?
Arthur Simon Simpson: Personal things, you know, I don't think they'd be of any interest to you.
Maj. Ali Tufan: *Everything* she says is of interest to me.
Arthur Simon Simpson: Well, she said I was attractive to her.
Maj. Ali Tufan: Fool! She knew you were listening!
Arthur Simon Simpson: That's impossible.
Maj. Ali Tufan: Then why would she say anything so stupid!
Arthur Simon Simpson: Well, she did! She even went further. She said I had beautiful eye lashes!
Arthur Simon Simpson: Yes, I heard her speak to Mr. Harper.
Maj. Ali Tufan: What did she say?
Arthur Simon Simpson: Personal things, you know, I don't think they'd be of any interest to you.

Elizabeth Lipp: It can be done! That's the way it can be done! Aaah... oh, excuse me; I've just had a great idea - something I've been looking for a long time... a very long time.

[Simpson is talking to the Turkish guards who have arrested him]
Arthur Simon Simpson: You frighten me, sir. But, after all, that's part of your job. But if my father could hear you now he'd laugh himself sick. He wasn't no colonel, sir. I just said that in order to make myself seem important. He was a sergeant - acting sergeant - acting unpaid sergeant. And d'you know what he used to say to me? He used to say, "Arthur"... he used to call me Arthur... "Arthur, you're a carbuncle on the behind of humanity." Carbuncle! I'm a nothing! I'm a nobody!
