Quotes 

  • Didont : With luck, no one will be hurt.

    Labiche : No one's ever hurt. Just dead.

    Didont : Paul, uh, have you ever seen any of those paintings on that train? I haven't. You know, when it's over, I think maybe we should take a look, hmm?

  • Spinet : London agrees the art is important. Anything we can do to save it... but they leave it up to us.

    Labiche : Why not? What can they lose? This morning we had four men left in this group. Now we have three. One, two, three.

    Pesquet : Bernard?

    Labiche : We started with eighteen. Like your paintings, mademoiselle, we couldn't replace them. For certain things we take the risk, but I won't waste lives on paintings.

    Mlle. Villard : They wouldn't be wasted! Excuse me, I know that's a terrible thing to say. But those paintings are part of France. The Germans want to take them away. They've taken our land, our food, they live in our houses, and now they're trying to take our art. This beauty, this vision of life, born out of France, our special vision, our trust... we hold it in trust, don't you see, for everyone? This is our pride, what we create and hold for the world. There are worse things to risk your life for than that.

    Labiche : I'm sorry, mademoiselle, we can't help you.

  • Spinet : Right after dawn, all switching tracks and trains in the area will be bombed. The art train is not to be destroyed. Orders are to mark it so that the planes will pass it up.

    Labiche : Mark it!

    Spinet : White paint, on the top of the first three cars. London has decided the paintings must not be damaged.

    Labiche : Paint it? For von Waldheim - make him a present? To hell with London! We started this whole thing for one reason: to stop the train, because the Allies were going to be here! Well, where are they? Every day they've been due, and every day a man has been killed for thinking they were just over the next hill. I say to hell with them. Now they want us to paint the train? Let 'em blow it up!

    Didont : Paul, it'd be too bad, if it got blown up... that is, if it could be saved. Papa Boule, Pesquet, the others... they wanted it saved.

    Labiche : And they're dead. And they'll never know!

    Didont : But we will.

  • Labiche : Where are the Allies?

    Spinet : It has been arranged for a French division to reach Paris first. A gesture.

    Labiche : Gesture! They can make gestures! Let them make one for Pesquet, or Jacques! That kid of Lefèvre's... he'd appreciate a gesture.

  • Labiche : [attempting to save Papa Boule, whom the Germans want to execute for committing sabotage]  He's just an old man. He didn't know what he was doing. Don't worry - I'll get your train through for you.

    Papa Boule : [to Labiche]  His train? His? It's my train! I know what I'm doing. Do you?

  • Colonel von Waldheim : Do you think there will be sabotage attempts on this train?

    Labiche : I'm a railroad man, not a prophet.

    Colonel von Waldheim : Prophecy is not required, only determination. This train will get through to Germany.

  • Labiche : You crazy bastard.

  • Labiche : Well, hurry it up. We're working on a locomotive, not a pocketwatch.

  • Labiche : Thank you.

    Christine : I don't want your thanks. If they'd caught me helping you, I would have been shot.

    Labiche : I know. I'm sorry.

    Christine : You think you can just run in and out of here and make trouble? I run a hotel, not a madhouse. Who's going to pay for the door? Who's going to pay for the lock? Do you think money grows on trees?

    Labiche : There's a war...

    Christine : You talk about the war. I talk about what it costs!

    Labiche : I'll be leaving in a few hours. You can go back to your good customers.

    Christine : They pay. That's what I'm in business for.

    Labiche : You should be paid. How much for the damage?

    Christine : One hundred francs.

    [He pays her.] 

    Labiche : How much for saving my life?

  • Labiche : Listen, you idiots! The war'll be over in a few days! Now leave it alone.

    Pesquet : You get caught up in something, you can't leave it alone.

  • Labiche : Forget the art train. We'll have enough to do tomorrow. Which reminds me, I'll need another engineer for the art train. I'll have to give it to Papa Boule.

    Pesquet : Papa Boule?

    Didont : Not Papa Boule!

    Labiche : I don't have any choice. Who else is there?

  • Colonel von Waldheim : Have you ever been to Germany, Labiche?

    Labiche : No, Colonel.

    Colonel von Waldheim : You should find the experience interesting. A chance to broaden your horizon.

  • Labiche : Keep your eyes open. Your horizon's about to be broadened.

  • Labiche : Any reprisals?

    Christine : Do you think they'd declare a holiday?

  • Labiche : There were over a hundred involved in stopping that train. Switchmen, brakemen, yard gangs, stationmasters. God knows how many will be shot, like Jacques. You know what's on that train? Paintings. That's right, paintings. Art. The national heritage. The pride of France. Crazy, isn't it?
