- Priscilla: I'm on Joe's side grandfather.
- Duke of Radling: You're not free to be.
- Priscilla: You're very old grandfather and you think very old things.
- Duke of Radling: You're very young, my dear, and you think very young things.
- Sergeant Eddie Brown: [to Joe] Look boy, you don't have to put on an act with me. I've seen an army marshal bawl like a baby when he had to leave his dog.
- Priscilla: [Running after Joe as he is about to leave for the war] Joe! Joe! Aren't you going to say goodbye?
- Joe Carraclough: You know your grandfather would never approve of... us.
- Priscilla: Then you know how I manage him. But what does it matter if you don't love me.
- Joe Carraclough: Who said I didn't love you?
- Priscilla: Then say it, Joe. Go on. Say it. Please say it, Joe!
- Joe Carraclough: [Starts to leave but turns back] I do love you.
- Priscilla: I'll be waiting!
- Village Padre: I don't think you will find a poor dog in this village. He wouldn't stop here. No refuse bins.
- German Soldier: Why not?
- Village Padre: Because there is no refuse.
- Joe Carraclough: You know something, Laddie? You've got to understand something before we go back home this time. One of the little things about war is you can't have your dog. You're a very little thing for me to give up... many are giving up their children. I suppose when I have a child... feeling something like this... it probably won't be anything like it. Perhaps I'll never know about it. But, anyway, I know about you. I won't see you anymore.
