Pvt. Don Evans: [writing a letter home] How do you spell "sufficient"?
Cpl. Ted Horsfall: Same as a Sergeant-Major's blessing. Two "f"'s and one "c".

Pvt. Mathews: [discussing his escape plans with Horsfall and Evans] Why, all I have to do is stow away in one of those garbage bins or something. Why, it's as easy as kiss your...
[sees Mitchell approach]
Capt. Karel Hasek, alias Geoffrey Mitchell: If you're planning an escape, Mathews, may I give you a piece of advice? Individual escapes hardly ever succeed. These things have to be very carefully planned and co-ordinated by a whole group.
Pvt. Mathews: All the same, sir, I'm going to have a go at it. If you have no objections!
Capt. Karel Hasek, alias Geoffrey Mitchell: Well... Good luck to you.
[walks off]
Pvt. Mathews: Good luck... Two-faced bleeder.
Cpl. Ted Horsfall: I don't know what it is, but there's something phony about that bloke.

Pvt. Mathews: [having a hard time adjusting to POW life after two months] What a sucker I was, joining the ruddy Army. I pictured myself cutting it loose with some roundie old French dames. And here I am, shut up in this place until I'll be past it.
Cpl. Ted Horsfall: You should have joined the Navy and let the world see you.
[gently]
Cpl. Ted Horsfall: Now son, it's no use you blowing off. Take things as you find them. That's always been my motto. And the way I look at it...
Pvt. Mathews: Awwww. Drip! Drip! Drip! You burn me up. You're worse than a woman!
Cpl. Ted Horsfall: [warning] Now, knock it sonny. I was swinging a rifle when your nappies were swinging on the line

Cpl. Ted Horsfall: [remembering his last night at home, before leaving for France, as he finishes a glass of beer at a farewell party] Ahhhhh. Beer isn't what it used to be.
Pvt. Don Evans: I hope the French beer isn't what it used to be either. Remember the last time, Ted?
Cpl. Ted Horsfall: Yeah. I remember something even better than beer too.

Cpl. Ted Horsfall: I've had a letter, Don.
Pvt. Don Evans: The mail's in? Perhaps there's a letter for me, with news of the baby.
Cpl. Ted Horsfall: [downcast] There's no letter for you. There *is* news.
Pvt. Don Evans: Flo's all right? Not them raids...?
Cpl. Ted Horsfall: She's OK. The letter's from her. Don, it's a baby girl. She's doing nice. Dillis... You'll hear it sooner or later. It seemed the doctor warned her about it being dangerous, because of her age. But she wouldn't be put off. Flo was with her at the end. It went quite quickly. Flo's gonna look after the baby until you get back.
