Polly Perkins: Joe, for the last time, I didn't sabotage your damn airplane!
Joseph Sullivan: All so you could get a photograph of Tojo Hideki in his bathrobe, remember?
Polly Perkins: You know, I'm starting to think that you've invented this whole sabotage nonsense to cover the fact that you were running around on me with your little mystery girl the whole time we were in Nanjing.

Joseph Sullivan: I can take anything you dish out.

Joseph Sullivan: Fine.
Polly Perkins: Our last moments on Earth and this is all you have to say?
