Barbara Willis : [watching the workers pouring liquid rubber] Why, it's milk.
Dennis Carson : Oh no, just rubber. But you could drink it if you care to stretch a point.
Barbara Willis : Oh, I once knew a man who made a joke like that. He was run over by a truck.
Dennis Carson : Were you driving it?
Barbara Willis : Yes!
Dennis Carson : Well, you're out of luck here. We only have ox-carts and every ox knows me personally.
-
Dennis Carson : What's the matter with you? Are you crazy?
Vantine : Just a little nauseated. This rain seems to have uncovered a pile of garbage around here.

Dennis Carson : [after being slapped by Barbara] All right. If that makes you feel any better.

Dennis Carson : Come on, lets have it. Who are you? Where'd you come from?

Vantine : You're not going to leave the corpse here?
Dennis Carson : It's his room. Didn't you know?
Vantine : Honest I didn't. I just took the first room the houseboy showed me. Oh, please you guys. This place is full of lizards and cockroaches as it is.
Dennis Carson : One more won't hurt.
-
Dennis Carson : Now, you talk too much, but you're a cute little trick at that. Why haven't you been around before?
-
Dennis Carson : Here you are kid.
[stuffs some bills in Vantine's cleavage]
Dennis Carson : It isn't half enough, but, when I get down to Saigon, there'll be more. Keep your chin up.
[pats Vantine twice on her behind]
-
Vantine : [taking a bath] What's the matter? Afraid I'll - shock the duchess? Don't you suppose she's ever seen a French postcard?
Dennis Carson : You'll let those curtains down if its the last bath you'll ever take!
-
Dennis Carson : [naked, Vantine jumps in a rain barrel] Get out of there! Say what's the idea?
Vantine : What?
Dennis Carson : Getting in that barrel?
Vantine : Oh, I don't know? Maybe I'm goin' over Niagara Falls. Whoop!
-
Dennis Carson : All those lame cracks won't help you any if I come back and find you've been annoying her.
Vantine : Oh, I wouldn't touch her with your best pair of rubber gloves!

Dennis Carson : Let me tell you this, I'm not a one woman man and I never have been and I never will be. If you want to take your turn...
-
Dennis Carson : Look at those slugs!

Dennis Carson : Why'd you get off the boat at all? You know it doesn't stop here again for four week, don't you?
Vantine : Sure I do. Think I'm overjoyed about it? But, its just got to be, that's all.
Dennis Carson : Well, then?
Vantine : I left the boat here for the same reason I took it at Saigon.
Dennis Carson : What reason?
Vantine : I got mixed up in a little trouble and I thought I'd stay out of town 'til the Gendarmes forgot about it.
Dennis Carson : And what a cast iron nerve you've got.
Vantine : You have to have in my line. But, don't worry, big boy, I'll stay out from under foot. I'll even pay for my board if you insist on it nicely.
-
Dennis Carson : Your hair always been that color?
Vantine : Always been a towhead.
-
Dennis Carson : Now, listen. This woman's decent. You watch your language and stop running around here half naked.
Vantine : I'll stay as comfortable as I like.
-
Barbara Willis : Well, apologies or even thanks are silly now. I just want you to know that - I owe you a great deal.
Dennis Carson : I'll take your I.O.U.
-
Barbara Willis : You mean you don't allow wives on your plantation?
Dennis Carson : Women don't belong here - white or native.
-
Barbara Willis : We shouldn't have done that.
Dennis Carson : We did.

Gary Willis : [eating dinner] Those coolies are tough to handle, aren't they?
Dennis Carson : Didn't I tell you they were a lazy bunch?
Gary Willis : Well, I mean, I didn't know they were so sneaky about it. The minute you turn your back on 'em, they're up to something or other they shouldn't be doing.
[Dennis and Barbara look at each other]
Gary Willis : Are they always like that?
Dennis Carson : I'm afraid so.
McQuarg : I was telling him about that time that Malay tried to knife you in the back.
Vantine : Its a great country for that sort of thing.
-
Dennis Carson : Listen, what goes on here is my business.
Vantine : Suppose I were to tell that nice white kid? He'd make it his business, wouldn't he?
-
Dennis Carson : Its a dirty, rotten country.
Vantine : And we're dirty, rotten people, I suppose, eh?
Dennis Carson : Sure.
-
Vantine : Oh, Denny! Denny, does it hurt awful?
Dennis Carson : Oh, stop blubbering.
-
Dennis Carson : Come on, hurry up you sap!
