Louis Jourdan: Phillipe Tabor

Quotes 

• Phillipe Tabor : I'm sorry, the plan was changed. There was nothing I could do about it.

  Simone Sumail : If it was changed, you changed it! You ordered the killing!

  Phillipe Tabor : If you've never been a leader, you cannot realize how much a leader is led. The conditions ordered it.

• Phillipe Tabor : We're involved in a cause, my dear, the cause your father died for.

  Simone Sumail : He was a soldier, in battle.

  Phillipe Tabor : So are we all, all soldiers. We're the last hope. There are thousands of us all over France. In the army, in Algeria. If we fail, fifteen centuries of greatness are thrown away. I know that sometimes it's a little hard to imagine fifteen centuries of greatness redeemed by... Claude, with a machine-pistol. But he and all the others like him are the instruments to cut out the weak, treasonous cancer that is destroying us. When we no longer need them, we will give them tobacco shops on the Rue de la Huchette. They will be very happy.
