Gen. LaSalle:
Do you think I like to slaughter civilians?

Col. Feroud:
The Syrians will think so.

Gen. LaSalle:
They don't think. They're guerillas, bandits

Col. Feroud:
They consider themselves patriots. We French came along with a mandate...

Gen. LaSalle:
And they don't like it and they don't trust us. I know all that! And I know how to make them happy, too. Pack up my army and march out.

Col. Feroud:
Sir, if I may say so, there is another way. You could send me to see Emir Hassan.

Gen. LaSalle:
You never let go of an idea, do you?

Col. Feroud:
It still isn't too late to arrange a truce.

Gen. LaSalle:
You'd only get your throat cut. You know what a butcher he is.

Col. Feroud:
I wonder what they'll call *you* after you execute those hostages.
