- Natalie Jastrow: What have you got against the Italian Renaissance, Byron?
- Byron Henry: I suppose I just had too much of it. I started out fascinated and ended up snowed under and bored. I think it's the mixture of paganism and Christianity, it sort of sticks in my craw.
- [Natalie and Leslie quietly chuckle to themselves as Leslie lights his pipe]
- Byron Henry: You asked what I had against the Italian Renaissance. I told you.
- Leslie Slote: Now don't fold up on us, Byron. Other people have taken your position. A good name for it is Protestantism.
- Rhoda Henry: Oh, nobody wants war now anyway. Absolutely nobody. It would be so silly nowadays.
- Captain of the Bremen: Does your wife speak for the United States Navy, commander?
- Victor 'Pug' Henry: She speaks for Piper-Heidsieck '34.
- [watching Polish cavalry on horseback ride past them on the road to Warsaw]
- Natalie Jastrow: They're magnificent, aren't they?
- Berel Jastrow: Yes, they are very brave men.
- Byron Henry: I wonder how they'll do against tanks?
- [Berel and the others are being harassed by a Polish soldier as their car enters Warsaw]
- Byron Henry: What is this?
- Berel Jastrow: There is bad Polack, there is good Polack. This time, very bad Polack.
