• Charters : I bought a copy of Mein Kampf. Occurred to me it might shed a spot of light on all this... how d'ye do. Ever read it?

  Caldicott : Never had the time.

  Charters : I understand they give a copy to all the bridal couples over here.

  Caldicott : Oh, I don't think it's that sort of book, old man.

• Station Master : [to Charters and Caldicott who are sitting on a baggage cart]  You can't sit here.

  Charters : Why not ?

  Station Master : This truck is required. Come on. Off, off, off, off, off, off.

  Charters : I suppose these bags aren't required too ?

  Station Master : Off, off, off, off, off, off, off.

  Charters : Pushed about from pillar to post by this railway ever since we got on the train.

  Caldicott : Yeah, everything we sit on seems to be required.

  Charters : It's monstrous.

  Caldicott : We shall write to the company about this. You're not at war with England yet, you know.

  Station Master : But you are mistaken. France declared war this afternoon. Und England declared war this morning. So ! Achtung !

  Charters : War...

  Caldicott : Yes.

  Charters : Good heavens !

  Caldicott : What's the matter ?

  Charters : My golf clubs.

  Caldicott : Where are they ?

  Charters : I lent them to Max in Berlin. Like a fool, I said he needn't bring them back til next Wednesday... Probably seen the last of them.

  Caldicott : Yes. I expect they'll require them for something or other.

• Charters : They've got "La Vie Parisienne" old boy.

  Caldicott : "La Vie Parisienne" ? All right. Don't bother about a "Punch."

• Charters : [at newsstand, next to display of "Mein Kampf" and "Gone With the Wind"]  There's not a copy of this week's "Punch" ?

  Saleswoman : Please ?

  Charters : "Punch." English magazine. Very humorous. You must have a copy.

  Saleswoman : No.

  Charters : [to Caldicott]  She hasn't got a "Punch" old man.

  Caldicott : Hasn't she ?

  Charters : No.

  Caldicott : Well. Sold out I suppose.

• Caldicott : [Looking through papers in stationmaster's office]  It's all in German.

  Charters : [to telephone operator]  What ? Well, how long then ? Oh, alright.

  [to Caldicott] 

  Charters : Blasted junction's engaged by the military. They'll call me back.

  Caldicott : These people seem to have no idea of business as usual.
