Lt. Martin Quotes in Beau Geste (1939)
Lt. Martin Quotes:
-
Lt. Martin: I just witnessed that little exhibition of yours, Markoff. I don't like it!
Markoff: You have to be strict with scum like that, sir.
Lt. Martin: They're men. They have their rights, guaranteed within the regulations.
Markoff: I'll keep within the regulations, sir.
Lt. Martin: You're a good soldier, Markoff, but I doubt if you're a good sergeant. If you're not, you won't last long in the Legion. Watch your step, or I'll break you!
-- Lt. Martin -
[Lt. Martin is bed-ridden with a fever]
Markoff: How do you feel tonight, Lieutenant?
Lt. Martin: I'm dying.
Markoff: I hope not, sir.
Lt. Martin: I'm going to die. I'll be buried under the sand and forgotten. When I was a little boy, I thought soldiers always died in battles. I didn't know there were so many soldiers... and so few battles... and so many fevers.
-- Lt. Martin
