  Guido Rosetti : Hey Alain, how far you think this fort is, eh?

  Alain Lefevre : I don't know, Guido.

  Guido Rosetti : What do you think, Mac?

• [Mackintosh and Luther are looking out across the desert.] 

  Luther : One big, empty country.

  Mackintosh : Big it is, but I promise you, empty it is not. They're out there. Waiting, watching. Planning on when and how they're going to kill us. We're the intruders, Luther. It's their country. And every man, woman, and child will give up their lives before they give themselves up to us.
