- Charters: If only we hadn't missed that train at Budapest.
- Caldicott: Well, I don't want to rub it in, but if you hadn't insisted on standing up until they'd finished their national anthem...
- Charters: Yes, but you must show respect, Caldicott. If I'd known it was going to last twenty minutes...
- Caldicott: It has always been my contention that the Hungarian Rhapsody is *not* their national anthem.
- Miss Froy: Everyone sings here. The people are just like happy children with laughter in their lips and music in their hearts.
- Charters: It's not reflected in their politics, you know.
- Miss Froy: I never think you should judge any country by its politics. After all, we English are quite honest by nature, aren't we?
- Iris Henderson: I was having tea about an hour ago with an English lady. You saw her, didn't you?
- Charters: Well, I don't know, I mean, I was talking to my friend, wasn't I?
- Caldicott: Indubitably.
- Iris Henderson: Yes, but you were sitting at the next table. She turned and borrowed the sugar. You must remember.
- Charters: Yes, I recall passing the sugar.
- Iris Henderson: Well then you saw her.
- Charters: I repeat we were deep in conversation. We were discussing cricket.
- Iris Henderson: Well, I don't see how a thing like cricket can make you forget seeing people.
- Charters: Oh, don't you? If that's your attitude, there's nothing more to be said! Come Caldicott. "A thing like cricket!"
- Gilbert: Wrong tactics. We should've told him we were looking for a lost cricket ball.
- Charters: [Speaking into the telephone] Tell me, what's happening to England?
- [pause]
- Charters: Blowing a gale? No, I'm inquiring about the test match in Manchester.
- [pause]
- Charters: Cricket, sir. Cricket!
- [pause]
- Charters: You don't know? You can't be in England and not know the test score.
- Charters: [Turns to Caldicott] The fellow says he doesn't know.
- Caldicott: Silly ass!
- Charters: You can't expect to put the two of us up in the maid's room.
- Hotel Manager: Well don't get excited. I'll remove the maid out.
- Caldicott: People just don't vanish and so forth.
- Charters: She has.
- Caldicott: What?
- Charters: Vanished.
- Caldicott: Who?
- Charters: The old dame.
- Caldicott: Yes.
- Charters: Well?
- Caldicott: Well, how could she?
- Charters: What?
- Caldicott: Well, vanish.
- Charters: I don't know.
- Caldicott: That just explains my point. People don't just disappear into thin air.
