“Half a million francs?”
> Dollars
Are you mad!
> Considering you expect to get France in return, I’d of thought it a reasonable price.
The exact quote from The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth is:
“Half a million francs to get France in return. Quite a bargain.”
This line is spoken by an OAS conspirator, emphasizing how they see the assassination as a small price to pay for what they believe will be the restoration of their vision of France.
