I always pay for what I get.

I'd sit down if I were you.

You're pretty brave

with women

What's the matter?

Don't you like brave men?

perhaps.

Your change

soldier

Tom?

well, if it isn't Mme Csar

Tom, I must see you tonight?

what do you mean tonight?

what if your husband sees you tonight?

He isn't going to see me

isn't he?

what if he does?

Csar's wife is above suspicion.

You may know something about ancient history,

but I know something about husbands.

Tom!

Oh! It's you?

What's the matter?

Were you expecting someone else?

Can I offer you something?

Cognac?

too hot.

got any gin?

Yes.

- Cigarette?

- Thanks.

You made this place look very nice

It looks different now.

how do you know?

have you been here before?

Well, I have been stationed

in this town for a long time.

aren't you drinking?

No.

Well, to you

You can smell the desert tonight.

Hot, isn't it?

faded

You can go now, soldier.

Alright lady.

you won't have any trouble

getting rid of me

nothing like independence,

isn't there?

well maybe I am independent.

With women

You evidently don't think much of women

I tell you lady,

it's their fault, not mine

been in the legion very long?

almost three years

Three years

seems like 300

you sound tired of life

I don't know whether I am or not

I was when I joined this outfit

how about you, Mademoiselle?

Been on the stage very long?

Long enough.

- tired of it?

- no

You've a lot of pictures of that man.

Is he your husband?

husband? I never found a man

good enough for that.

that's just how I fell about women.

how long ago was that picture taken?

why?

that looks like a Russian sable.

that coat's worth a load of shades.

Do you still have it?

don't be absurd.

if I still had that coat

I wouldn't be here

What in the name of ten thousand purples

did you come to a country like this for, anyway?

I understand that men are never asked

why they enter the Foreign Legion.

That's right. They never asked me

and if they had I wouldn't have told.

When I crashed the legion

I ditched the past.

There's a Foreign Legion of women, too.

but we have no uniforms

no flags

and no medals,

when we are brave

No wound stripes

when we are hurt

Look here, is there anything

I can do to help you?

No.

I've heard that before.

Or do you think you can restore

my faith in men?

not me

you've got the wrong man for that

anybody who has faith in me is a sucker

You'd better go now

I'm beginning like you.

I've said to women

about everything a man can say.

I'm gonna to tell you something

I've never told a woman before.

I wish I'd met you 10 years ago.

- Good night.

- Good night. And thanks

well, the night's still young
