Manfred von Richthofen: [meeting in a field] What now?
Brown: I guess we could try killing each other with our pistols. Killing you would make me famous, too.
Manfred von Richthofen: Sorry, I didn't bring mine, but you might want to button up your holster before you lose yours.

Manfred von Richthofen: How long have you been stationed in Europe?
Brown: Ever since Mother England called the kids for help. Meaning us, the Commonwealth colonies.
Manfred von Richthofen: You're right. The entire war seems to be a family affair.
Brown: Family ties is what you aristocrats are all about. Russian Tsar, the Royal families of Britain, France, Austria, Germany... Everyone is someone's nephew, uncle, brother. Man, your love life sure ignores all them borders.
Manfred von Richthofen: But to protect those borders, we kill each other off anyway.
Brown: And we always managed to find good enough reasons, don't we?
