Marquis Henri de Labordere Quotes in Vera Cruz (1954)

Marquis Henri de Labordere: [referring to Ben's stolen wallet] It is useless to look for it now, monsieur. In Mexico today chase a thief, and he disappears in a puff of smoke.

Joe Erin: It's only cowhide, Ben. Max'll buy yuh another.

Benjamin Trane: It wasn't the wallet. It's the sentiment. I had $12 in it.

Countess Marie Duvarre: My dear, you're unusually gallant this evening.

Marquis Henri de Labordere: As gallant as you find the two Americans?

Countess Marie Duvarre: Ah, you surprise me, Henri! You should know there is never anything to fear from TWO men!

Emperor Maximillian: They're a disreputable-looking band, Henri. Do they know the nature of their mission?

Marquis Henri de Labordere: Only that they will be handsomely rewarded.

Emperor Maximillian: Do you consider death a handsome enough reward for them?

Countess Marie Duvarre: I'm sure you will enjoy sending me to a dungeon.

Marquis Henri de Labordere: Certainly not... The Countess has lived a most comfortable life so far. See that she enjoys the brief remainder.
