The Victors (1963)

Jeanne Moreau: French Woman

Quotes 

• [Craig is sound asleep in Philippe's old bed. Sounds of explosions and gunfire rage on outside, but he doesn't stir. A noise startles him awake and he grabs his gun barrel] 

  Sgt. Craig : Who's there?

  [It's the French Woman. She's cowering in a corner of the bedroom] 

  French Woman : I'm sorry. I didn't want to disturb you, but I'm frightened. I just wanted to stay here, near someone.

  Sgt. Craig : Those are our guns, I think.

  French Woman : Mmm... It's not the guns, it's the planes! They were bombing till a moment ago, and you never woke up!

  [She begins to sob] 

  French Woman : I slept for a while, and I haven't been able to since. I really don't know how you can sleep with all that!

  [She and Craig hear explosions outside] 

  French Woman : I can't be alone. I just can't bear it anymore. Please... may I stay here? I won't bother you. Please!

  [Craig lifts the covers of the bed, beckoning her in. Gratefully, she gets in beside him]
