Quotes 

• Françoise : I don't want to be seen fraternizing with the enemy. I don't want to be beaten by my neighbors! I would not look good with a shaved head!

• Françoise : All this talk about sacrificing lives in order to have peace just doesn't make any sense to me. The only way to peace is to stop killing each other.

• Françoise : Vodka?

  Lt. Christian Diestl : Yes, wonderful.

  Françoise : I have some direct from the Ukraine.

• Françoise : You're not the same.

  Lt. Christian Diestl : When you are - when you are in a hole - filled with your own excrement for days on end, and when you see the faces and the bodies of the men you've killed, you change.

• Lt. Christian Diestl : When you're out there like that, when you have to live with death every day - for so long - you have to keep something in front of you, or you would go insane. And so I was - I was always afraid that - I had just invented you.

  Françoise : Oh, but I am real.

• Françoise : Christian, please stay. There isn't anything for you to fight for. There never really was. Christian, you're not the golden warrior any more. And soon you will be just another refugee. Don't throw this away. Please. Don't throw this away.
