Quotes
-
Lt. Sebastian : [referring to Julie Benson] Besides her obvious talents, she also sings.
-
Nick Cochran : [at the Customs checkpoint shortly after docking at Macao, explaining why he has no passport] My wallet was in my pocket when I boarded that tub in Hong Kong but, uh, somebody lifted it.
Lt. Sebastian : That is most unfortunate, señor.
Nick Cochran : Well, what happens now? Do I get deported, or thrown in the klink?
Lt. Sebastian : Oh, neither, señor. This is a Portuguese colony - always friendly and hospitable. Have you any other means of identification?
Nick Cochran : Yeah. This took me, uh, three years, five months and twenty-six days to get.
[Nick pulls out a document from his coat pocket and hands it to Lt. Sebastien, who looks it over]
Lt. Sebastian : You served as a lieutenant in the Signal Corps of the United States... Unfortunately, Senor Cochran, this finely engraved document does not grant you the privilege of traveling free as a bird throughout the Orient.
Nick Cochran : Yeah, I was afraid of that.
Lt. Sebastian : I suggest you contact your consulate in Hong Kong. How long did you intend to remain in our city?
Nick Cochran : That depends.
Lt. Sebastian : On what?
Nick Cochran : On a certain female... Lady Luck.
Lt. Sebastian : I wish you well. It is our fond hope that all visitors to Macao should feel as untroubled here as Adam in the Garden of Eden.
Nick Cochran : "Untroubled"? That ain't the way *I* heard it.
