Quotes 

• Sir Benjamin Dyce : [gesturing to Moonbase window]  Look out there, all of you. What do you see?

  Michel Lebrun : The Earth.

  Sir Benjamin Dyce : And can you see your beloved France?

  Michel Lebrun : Yes, not clearly...

  Sir Benjamin Dyce : And can you see where France stops and Germany, Switzerland or anywhere else starts?

  Michel Lebrun : Not with the naked eye...

  Sir Benjamin Dyce : You cannot see that if the soil is as close to your face as this meaningless bit of cloth!

  [throws mini-French flag to the floor] 

  Sir Benjamin Dyce : It is only on maps that the colour of one country is different from the colour of the next.

  Michel Lebrun : There is nothing wrong with a man being proud of his own country.

  Sir Benjamin Dyce : There is everything wrong with it!

• Michel Lebrun : The fourteenth of July! And in Paris there will be singing and dancing in the streets and lots of wine - and here? Here we celebrate with reconstituted calves liver, synthetic potato and H14, a local lunar vegetable so disgusting that nobody's ever bothered to give it a name.

  Bruno Bertoli : Well, at least there's wine, Michel.

  Michel Lebrun : Oh, yes of course, we mustn't forget the wine. Château Mouton Caulder: add two packets of purple powder to five litres of recycled effluent and stir. I wouldn't find it all so revolting if I didn't know how it was made.
