Morocco Page #2

why?

that looks like a Russian sable.

that coat's worth a load of shades.

Do you still have it?

don't be absurd.

if I still had that coat

I wouldn't be here

What in the name of ten thousand purples

did you come to a country like this for, anyway?

I understand that men are never asked

why they enter the Foreign Legion.

That's right. They never asked me

and if they had I wouldn't have told.

When I crashed the legion

I ditched the past.

There's a Foreign Legion of women, too.

but we have no uniforms

no flags

and no medals,

when we are brave

No wound stripes

when we are hurt

Look here, is there anything

I can do to help you?

No.

I've heard that before.

Or do you think you can restore

my faith in men?

not me

you've got the wrong man for that

anybody who has faith in me is a sucker

You'd better go now

I'm beginning like you.

I've said to women

about everything a man can say.

I'm gonna to tell you something

I've never told a woman before.

I wish I'd met you 10 years ago.

- Good night.

- Good night. And thanks

well, the night's still young

There's your key, lady.

If I were you I wouldn't hand it around.

Tom!

I hear something

taking a walk?

To get some fresh air?

No, I was looking for you

It's good that you found me.

This quarter isn't safe at night.

I'd better take you home

- 120?

- No, I wish I were

I only feel so light to you

because your arms are so powerful.

well,

we'll get along a bit better this time

Look out!

you'd better come here,

there's gonna be trouble

I give you one more chance:

Who were those two women?

get your knee out of my hip!

Do you think the two women you are trying to protect

are worth it?

well I think one of them is.

mon Adjudant, M. La Bessire is here

to take you to his club.

ask him to wait.

I'll be through in a minute.

no, let him come in.

entrez, Monsieur

- I didn't know that the military

was quite so busy.

- Oh yes, we are busy

Sit down!

perhaps you can learn something about this country

which you think is so marvellous

got a match?

This little matter also involves someone

you're interested in.

I'm properly curious

bring in that woman

Mademoiselle, I think you know M. La Bessire

- very happy to meet you again, Mademoiselle.

- sit down

I'm happy to meet you again.

It's so nice of you

to have come, Mademoiselle.

You were present at this affair

at which the prisoner

with his customary bravery

severely wounded two helpless natives

Those natives were not helpless.

They attacked us.

Who was the other woman?

I don't know.

I'd like to know, too

do sit down

The curious part of this is

I'm the only one that really seems to know

who this other woman is

If you do know,

you'd better keep it to yourself

Captain Csar,

don't lose your temper

Return the prisoner to the guard-house

I appreciate your attempt

to keep the name of my wife out of this

that's alright, sir

You may go now, Mademoiselle

I'll join you in a minute

You look charming this morning

What will they do to him?

I don't know.

personally I shouldn't care

to have Adjudant Csar as an enemy.

I seem to have the unhappy faculty

of bringing trouble

wherever I go

Nonsense

you know, I carry some weight with Csar.

possibly I can help you.

Every time a man has helped me

there's been a price.

What's yours?

My price?

A smile?

I haven't got much more

shall we go?

Here, take your pass. You're a free man.

door's right open and you can do what you like.

'til 7 o'clock in the morning.

- What's the idea of all this?

- you're leaving for Amalfa-Pass tomorrow

- not me, I'm beginning to like this town.

Tell Csar, I'm not going

you tell him yourself,

he's going along this time.

- Who's going along?

- you heard what I said

Csar is going along this time

So that's what it is.

that's why he didn't recommend

a court martial.

He's gonna get me out on the road

and face me in the proper direction.

well you got a gun with you, haven't you.

you can't get away with murder all your life

that's right, Sergeant.

your argument is perfectly sound,

but nobody is gonna use me

for target practice.

I'm through with the army anyway.

I've been looking for the right kind of woman all my life

and I think I've found her.

so I quit, take this thing

and spend a few weeks somewhere

along the blue Mediterranean

so you're quitting, eh?

well nobody's stopping you

By the way, you happen to remember

what the penalty is for desertion?

There's a 100 ways to dying, brother,

and I'm picking my own way.

Go on, get out of here

He's in there

I've never known such a fortune in my life

He's a rich man to buy Morocco.

Don't forget me!

you've met him in my theatre.

Good evening

Your flowers are wonderful

any news of him?

I did what I could.

they will not court-martial him.

they're going to transfer him

which means of course

that he will have to leave town.

do you love him?

I don't know.

I hope not.

I can't accept this.

It's worth a fortune.

anything of less value

would be unworthy.

I've got to change

I'd like to take you away from here.

Would you?

exactly what do you offer now?

the conventional thing

My offer is highly respectable:

marriage

You're a strange man

Do you find it so strange

that I shall be fond of you?

must I answer you now?

I'd sleep better tonight if you did.

I don't think I care

to take advantage of your tempting offer.

- then you're in love?

- No, I don't think I am.

supposing you had never met

a certain private in the foreign legion

what would your answer have been?

might have been the same.

I don't know.

I'm sorry to intrude,

but I'm leaving for the Sahara in the morning

and I just came to say good-bye

I think you two want to be alone.

I understand you are leaving

on a rather strenuous journey.

- May I wish you good luck?

- Thanks

- bientot, Mademoiselle

- bientot

Will you be gone long?

When will I see you again?

Maybe never. Something tells me

I'm not coming back this time.

don't go.

that's just what I was thinking.

I could desert and

board a freighter for Europe tonight

Why don't you?

I would in a minute

if you'd go with me.

Will you?

Yes.

I'll be back. Wait for me.

If you can spare one of your hands,

I would like to say goodbye, too.

Goodbye, Mademoiselle.

Why didn't you stay last night?

I had a few other calls to make.

Who are those women?

Those women?

I would call them the rear-guard.

How can they keep feet

with the men?

They catch up with them,

and sometimes they don't.

And very often when they do,

they find their men dead.

Those women must be mad.

I don't know.

you see, they love their men

I don't see why we have to keep getting down all day?

We only have to get up again.

anyhow, those walking bed sheets

can't shoot straight.

If you go on like this,

why don't you quit?

anyhow, I thought you were going to desert?

I've turned decent, Sergeant.

decent.

What did you say?
