• Capt. Jerome, USMC : Captain Jerome, United States Marine Corps, and you are my prisoner, sir.

  The Bashaw of Tangier : You are a very dangerous man, Captain, and your President Roosevelt is mad.

  Capt. Jerome, USMC : Yes, sir!

• Gummere : Have you ever heard of the "Big Stick", Bashaw?

  The Bashaw of Tangier : Do not threaten me, Mr. Gummere. I have been threatened by the French, the Germans, the English... I have been threatened by..."experts", Mr. Gummere! And yet Morocco is still the only sovereign Muslim throne west of Constantinople.

  Gummere : Yes, but it is shaky.

  The Bashaw of Tangier : Yes, we have French infantry and German cavalry. Our currency is Spanish. But my nephew is the Sultan of Morocco; and it is, as it shall be.
