- Petit Pierre: [to Brown] They are waiting for Major Jones. For some reason they believe that only white men are experts in killing.
- Dr. Magiot: I'm worried about young Philipot. I had a message from him today.
- Brown: Does he share your faith?
- Dr. Magiot: He doesn't read Karl Marx, if that's what you mean. Rebels are not always communists, unless America insists.
- Dr. Magiot: Papa Doc allows us to study the theory of communism. If there were no communists at all, what help would he get from the United States?
- Brown: I don't believe in causes.
- Dr. Magiot: The role of cynic doesn't really suit you, Brown.
- Brown: I don't believe in play-acting either.
- Dr. Magiot: You imagine because you've lost one faith, you've lost all? You're wrong, Brown. There is always an alternative to the faith we lose.
- Brown: I have no faith in faith.
