Jane Brand : What if he doesn't come back?
Capt. Leith : Then he and I and you become part of history, of its futility.
Jane Brand : Don't talk to me in riddles, Jimmy.
Capt. Leith : It's a long time since I was in Libya. The Romans built wonderful cities in Libya: dead bones sticking out of the sand. War rolled over them. It'll be good to see them again.
Jane Brand : You always seemed to prefer stones to people.
Capt. Leith : I've learned things from stones.
Jane Brand : What?
Capt. Leith : All that people have forgotten in the centuries.
Jane Brand : I seem to remember I was less than a stone to you. I loved you, Jimmy.
Capt. Leith : We'd better go in. There isn't much time.
Jane Brand : What can I say to him?
Capt. Leith : Tell him all the things that women have said to the men before they go to the wars. Tell him he's a hero. Tell him he's a good man. Tell him you'll be waiting for him when he comes back. Tell him he'll be making history.
