Marco Segrain Quotes in March or Die (1977)

Marco Segrain: [facing a line of new recruits and citing the late Major Foster] Some of will give up. Some of you will even try to run. I warn you, until now no one succeeded.

Simone Picard: [Marco has cleverly found a way to get from the troop car to the first class train car] What else can you do besides steal and climb like a monkey?

Marco Segrain: I read palms. I'm part gypsy.

Maj. William Sherman Foster: [Marco has rescued Top Hat and brought him back to the Legion's fort. Major Foster is not impressed with this "heroism"] On a march a man dies where he falls. We don't go back for stragglers.

Marco Segrain: [Somewhat mockingly] I'll remember that, sir.

Ivan: [Somberly recounting the murder of the Czar Romanov royal family due to the Russian Revolution, recently happening in his home country] I should have been there.

Marco Segrain: Where?

Ivan: I was special guard, for royal family. I am away. They take them. I walk Russia. I cannot find them. July, this year, they kill them. All of them... ALL of them.
