A line from Papa Boule

Don't just slap the oil on anywhere, damn it! Look where the hell you're putting it. This machine was running before you were born. She's like a woman. If you don't treat her just the right way, she'll make your life miserable. Take this. Do it right, for God's sake!

[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?

Octave

Boule, you are a good engineer, you have told me so. But in matters of culture, you are sadly deficient. Champagne and perfume can be replaced. But, not art. These paintings are important!

Papa Boule

Really?

Octave

The glory of France!

Papa Boule

Glory of France?
