[about the Blue Water gem]
It looks like a piece of sky that has become solid, with sunlight imprisoned in it. Cold sunlight, cold as the unhappiness it has brought so many people.

Beau Geste Dear Dig:
The Blue Water and my blue eyes go so well together that I couldn't resist taking it. I have no intention of sharing the loot, so don't follow me.
Beau. Sergeant Markoff Keep shooting, you scum! You'll get a chance yet to die with your boots on! Sergeant Markoff Everybody does his duty - and soon enough. Dead or alive. We'll make those Arabs think we got a thousand men. The rest of the bullets you stop won't hurt as much as that first one.
