- Mrs. Barrington: And in conclusion, I can do no better than to quote the words of our great Prime Minister to the gallant boys of the RFA: Never have so much owed so many to so little.
- Helen Barrington: You know, George, I think you waste your time with the wrong sort of women.
- Flt·Lieut. George Perry: I never waste my time with any women.
- Helen Barrington: I quite believe that.
- Charles Dimble: Good morning!
- Alan Trently: Good morning.
- Charles Dimble: Haven't we met somewhere before?
- Alan Trently: I don't think so.
- Charles Dimble: I've got a wonderful memory for faces.
- Alan Trently: Well, I haven't, but I think I'd remember yours. I mean...
- Charles Dimble: I was looking for you.
- Alan Trently: Oh, why?
- Charles Dimble: This card just came for you. Swiss stamp and a very curious message.
- Alan Trently: That's pretty cool nerve. Do you always read other people's letters?
- Charles Dimble: Certainly not. This isn't a letter. It's a postcard. Postcards are fair game.
- Flt·Lieut. George Perry: Hello!
- Alan Trently: I've, uh, brought your supper.
- Flt·Lieut. George Perry: Ah, that's very decent of you.
- Alan Trently: Well, they're shorthanded and I thought that I'd...
- Flt·Lieut. George Perry: [interrupting] Find Helen here, eh? Well, bad luck. She's gone.
- [Alan starts to leave]
- Flt·Lieut. George Perry: Oh, don't run away.
- Alan Trently: I've got work to do!
- Flt·Lieut. George Perry: More domestic duties?
- Ronald: You can always tell a real butler. Butlers' faces are white. If they pinch the boss's port, they're red. Yours is brown.
- John Barrington: There is somebody supposed to be looking after you, isn't there?
- Ronald: Mmm. That butler of yours.
- John Barrington: Yes. Well, would you mind going back and being looked after again?
- Mrs. Barrington: Now, I want you to enjoy yourself. Do anything you like, but don't touch things. Do you hear? Ha-ha-ha. Never mind, never mind. Forget all about what a nuisance you are.
- Mrs. Barrington: And we are proud to have as our auctioneer today a real, live spitwire - fire - pilot, Wing Lieutenant Perry, CFD.
