- Charles Hamilton: They force Pasha for Great Britain's patronage and Pasha suspects a plot behind Filipos. I mean I am trying to say, it's too wrong time for being retired.
- Cevdet: There's no side that I will fight for me.
- Dagistanli: Honesty, honor, loyalty. These are more important than kindredship.
- Seher: Loyalty to whom?
- Dagistanli: Loyalty to country!
- Charles Hamilton: General Cevdet works for Turks. Besides an English agent provides intelligence to Turks.
- Yildiz: Do you know Ali Kemal?
- Filipos: I know Dimitri. Yes. His mother Veronica is my sister. Dimitri is very good, we are proud of him. Since he throwed his burden of his past, he lives like a Greek gentleman.
- Yildiz: What does it mean?
- Filipos: I mean, he fitted into Greece, the life in there, customs very well. In fact he gets ready to make a new life for himself. He will marry with a girl whom she is worthy of our well-established family. I deliver your greetings.
- Hilal: There is no need!
- Filipos: Be careful you too. Ottoman isn't the same Ottoman. And Smyrna isn't old Izmir.
- Hilal: My mother is dead! Did you hear? You didn't die but my mother is dead. My mother died for her country. My grandmother is like this since that day, she can't speak.
- Pehlivan Aga: I brought you new from Dagistanli.
- Tevfik: Good.
- Pehlivan Aga: But my master said "Say my words to Yanik Efe's face."
- Tevfik: No offence. The people that saw our face are afraid of. But you are a gallant man Pehlivan Aga. You don't afraid.
- Pehlivan Aga: Dagistanli says Let's Yanik Efe join us, we shoot to enemy together.
- Tevfik: Here you are, we have no fear for darkness with God's help. It is an honor to stand shoulder to shoulder with Dagistanli.
- Yildiz: I am tired of that your Leon love. He wrote at first, later disdained, he forgot you. Wake up!
- Hilal: Is-isn't there a new letter? When I was jail...
- Yildiz: NOT!
- Hilal: Something bad happened to him. Something happened.
- Yildiz: No, he came to his senses. You are just a simple Izmir affair for him. Oh, how he was saying? Smyrna!
- Leon: I came across this flower at an abandoned house's garden, hidden in a corner, away from the sun. But it was so gorgeous I couldn't take my eyes off it. It's called azalea; it blooms proudly even in the winter and dazzles. Like you. While I was thrown in the middle of a bloody war, you stood proudly like an azalea Hilal. Honor, war, love... you gave new meaning in all these words. Maybe one day I will come to thank you with my arms full with azaleas. Leon
- Hilal: I just read the last letter you wrote me again, two months have passed since then. While I was in prison, every line of your letters that I know by heart were a breath for whenever I would be losing hope. I lived with the dream of your new words waiting for me when I would get out. But what I came across was a deep silence. This silence is hell for me Leon. However I know life is challenging everyone. Everyone's hell is different. Some are brave, they don't fear of death. They sacrifice anything for a sliver of hope. Some are burdened with more hardships than their heart can handle; the life they live is their hell. As for some,they waste themselves running after an empty life, they don't want to see their own hell. My own hell became this land Leon. First I was thrown in prison. Then my mother and my little 'sibling' were killed. I was released, now they tell me we are losing our country. However a flower has bloomed in my heart, that still gives me hope and waits a wordy breath from you. Hilal
- Yildiz: Leave, I will go to Athens!
- Hilal: If you will go, go without robbing!
- Yildiz: You hooked on country, you didn't see the love under your very eyes! LEAVE!
- Hilal: What are you talking about? What love?
- Yildiz: I love Ali Kemal. He loves me too.
- Hilal: Sister don't make nonsense, he is our brother.
- Yildiz: You can see him as your brother but I can not! So I won't let him to marry! I will go to Athens and stop him.
- Hilal: You won't go anywhere, come here!
- Yildiz: Leave, give that!
- Yildiz: What do you think you are doing?
- Hilal: You did everything! Behave yourself!
- Yildiz: Keep out of me!
- Hilal: You are out of your senses!
- Hilal: Leon!
- Aleksi: They never told me Smyrna like this. It is so much more entartaining. Isn't it, cousin?
- Leon: It is. Enough that much clowning. Dismiss!
