Caldicott : You seem to be taking a deuce of a lot of stuff with you old man. How long do you think this war's going to last?
Charters : Nothing like being on the safe side Caldicott.
Caldicott : Personally I think it will be over by Christmas.
Charters : Ha ha - that's what they said in the last war.
Caldicott : Well, last time they said it would be over by Christmas and it wasn't. This time it might be.
Charters : I doubt whether that's very sound logic old man.

Charters : Talking of wartime sacrifices, Caldicott - do you remember old Parterton?
Caldicott : Chap with all those rubber plantations in Malaya?
Charters : Yes, that's the fellow. Do you remember his valet, Hawkins?
Caldicott : Yes.
Charters : He's evacuated to Weston-super-Mare.
Caldicott : Really?
Charters : Parterton's simply livid. Hasn't dressed himself for 30 years.
Caldicott : What's he going to do about it?
Charters : Follow him. To Weston-super-Mare.
Caldicott : Oh, by the way, how many mines have we laid here this morning?
Charters : Erm... 86. No no, 87.
Caldicott : Sure?
Charters : Positive.
Caldicott : Hmm. We must remember not to bathe here after the war.
