- Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond: Danny, pack my bag. Pyjamas, toothbrush and a gun.
- Danny: Please sir. Don't you really think sir? Yes sir.
- Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond: On second thought, never mind the pyjamas. Just the toothbrush and the gun.

- [In the silence of the club room, the waiter drops a spoon. Slowly the elderly Colonel stands up, and then...]
- Colonel: Pah! The eternal din in this club is an outrage! I ask you, wot?
- Algy Longworth: You're perfectly right, Colonel. We ought to complain. Do you know that's the third spoon I've heard drop this month?
- Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond: Spoons, my hat. I wish that somebody would throw a bomb and wake the place up.
- Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond: I've been bored too long. I can't stand it any more. I'm too rich to work, too intelligent to play... much; I tell you, if something doesn't happen within the next few days, I'll explode.
- Algy Longworth: I don't know what to suggest, dear old boy, unless you advertised... and you, you can't very well do that, can you?
- Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond: I don't know, I might. I rather think that's an inspiration, Algy, by Jove I do! I didn't know you had it in you. Say, barman, give me a piece of paper and a pencil.

- Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond: Algy, if I wanted a bodyguard I should have sent for my maiden aunt.
- Algy Longworth: Oh, I say!
- Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond: Well, why not? She's more of a man than you are!
- Algy Longworth: My dear old boy. Danny and I have decided that if you will carry on with a voluptuous, blackmailing, breach-of-promise female, you'd much better do it in London where you can be near your lawyer
