Quotes

Dad's Army

Edit
  • Jones: Permission to panic, sir!
  • Reverend Timothy Farthing: The morris dancers have booked the hall for one o'clock. I do hope you're not going to run over.
  • George Mainwaring: There is a war on you know, Vicar. If we're not finished, they'll just have to prance about outside.
  • [Jones is hanging off a cliff]
  • Frazer: Terrible. I never got his measurements.
  • [last lines]
  • George Mainwaring: Touch and go, old friend. But we got there in the end.
  • Arthur Wilson: Friend, sir?
  • George Mainwaring: Eyes front, shoulders back. You're a sergeant of the home guard, not a sack of potatoes.
  • Arthur Wilson: Thank you, sir. You really are most awfully kind.
  • George Mainwaring: Men, I am a man of few words but, there comes a time in a soldier's life, when one must confront...
  • Frazer: For God's sake, man! We're in enough trouble without you making a speech!
  • Brigadier Pritchard: It's a complete and utter balls-up, Mainwaring!

  • George Mainwaring: The boys have been dragging their feet, lately.
  • Arthur Wilson: Yes, they have been a bit lax.
  • George Mainwaring: There's no need for Latin, Wilson. If the king's English is good enough for him, it's good enough for you. You're not at Cambridge now, you know.
  • Arthur Wilson: Oxford actually.
  • Arthur Wilson: At the double, Mr Godfrey! If you'd be so kind.
  • Arthur Wilson: I do believe I won the exercise, sir.
  • George Mainwaring: You did nothing of the sort, not dressed like that. You're Disqualified!
  • Arthur Wilson: I thought I was being resourceful
  • George Mainwaring: You were being devious and underhand. It's no way for a spy to behave!
  • Jones: Sir, I need to tell you something in complete continence.
  • George Mainwaring: [Reacting to Godfrey's mobile phone ringing] Whose phone is that?
  • Godfrey: I think that's mine.
  • George Mainwaring: Godfrey, take that phone out. Turn it off immediately. Take it out!
  • Godfrey: I can't get it out.
  • Walker: I've told 'im...
  • George Mainwaring: Walker, help him with his phone.
  • Frazer: Walker got him a job...
  • George Mainwaring: Fraser, stop talking and help him with his phone.
  • Godfrey: I've got it now sir.
