Joe Marryot
- Joe Marryot: Ah. Oh, it's a bit of luck the war coming when it did - I was properly fed up with Oxford.
- Soldier Friend of Joe: Oxford? I was just starting at an accountant's office.
- Joe Marryot: If there is a war, how long do you think it'll last?
- Robert Marryot: Oh, three months at the outside.
- Joe Marryot: We shall win.
- Robert Marryot: We shall win.
- [Robert uncorks a bottle of wine]
- Joe Marryot: [eagerly] Perhaps it'll last six months.
- Robert Marryot: Economically impossible. Have you any idea what a war costs?
- Joe Marryot: Hell of a lot I suppose.
- Robert Marryot: A Hell of a lot. The Germans can afford it even less than we can. Then there's Russia...
- Joe Marryot: Good old Russia!
- Robert Marryot: ... France, Italy, and America...
- Joe Marryot: ... Japan, China, Nicaragua, Guatemala; huh, why, we got 'em licked before we start.
- Robert Marryot: Don't be silly Joey.
- Joe Marryot: [lightly laughs] Sorry.
