Quotes11

  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: Diana?
  • Alan Howard: Kenneth Lake's sister.
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: Oh, is she learning French too?
  • Alan Howard: Uh, no. She just stopped us from doing it.
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: Uh, what you're implying is that this girl is, uh, rather fast?
  • Alan Howard: Well, I'm not implying it, I'm saying it.
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: You sound admitted.
  • Alan Howard: Oh, dear me, no. Both Brian and I - for reasons that we won't go into now, are immune. Only I thought it as well to let you know before you meet her, that Diana Lake - oh, a dear girl in many ways, is a little unreliable in her emotional life.
  • Alan Howard: She loves getting innocent young men into cold water.
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: Well, personally, I rather like an early morning dip.
  • Alan Howard: An early morning dip?
  • Diana Lake: I quite agree with you, Cmdr. Rogers. I don't think there's anything nicer than a swim before breakfast.
  • Diana Lake: Oh, I suppose you find Alan a bit startling, don't you?
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: Oh, yes, he's a bit startling.
  • Diana Lake: Well, he's really very nice, but you mustn't take everything he says too seriously, because you see, he's just a teeny bit, you know, unbalanced.
  • [pointing to her head]
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: Oh, really?
  • Diana Lake: I thought it was well to warn you.
  • Diana Lake: [pointing to a picture on the wall] Oh, is that your boat?
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: [trying to hold back a look of disgust] Yes, that's my... boat.
  • Chris Neilan: Diana, you won't forget about our tourney?
  • Diana Lake: Of course not.
  • Alan Howard: Uh, Chris. Did Diana go into the water?
  • Chris Neilan: No, why?
  • Diana Lake: Why, Chris.
  • Alan Howard: Chris! You of all people - an early morning dipper. Why, I believe this girl could make you go for a bicycle tour in the Pyrenees, if she set her mind to it.
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: I once went for a bicycle tour in the Pyrenees.
  • Alan Howard: Really?
  • Diana Lake: Yes, poor Alan. I'm afraid he's got it very badly.
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: Got what?
  • Diana Lake: Oh, I don't know what this is. It's so funny, because from the way he behaved, there's many things he says about me. You'd think he hates me, wouldn't you?
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: Yes, you would. Doesn't he?
  • Diana Lake: Oh, no. Far from it.
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: Oh, heh, heh, well, you see... you mean he's rather keen on you?
  • Diana Lake: Oh, I don't want to give him away. It wouldn't be fair. But if he tries to give you the impression that I'm a scheming wrecker of men's lives, you needn't necessarily believe him.
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: No, of course I won't. But I don't quite see why he should, you know.
  • Diana Lake: Well, you see Commander Rogers, I like Alan. But I don't like him as much as, perhaps, he wants me to.
  • Alan Howard: You'd like anything which gives you the opportunity of coming down to breakfast in your bathing dress.
  • Diana Lake: Does it shock you, Alan?
  • Alan Howard: Unalterably!
  • Diana Lake: Well, I'll go and change then.
  • Alan Howard: Oh, don't bother. You've made one successful entrance. Don't spoil it by making another.
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: I don't think I quite understand you.
  • Alan Howard: Diana does.
  • Alan Howard: I suppose you're going to find this a rather change after your boat, commander.
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: You mean my ship, don't you?
  • Alan Howard: Your ship?
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: Yes, we call her a ship in the Navy.
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: This is my first time in France.
  • Alan Howard: Then you're bound to be a bit at sea, commander. Heh, heh, I thought that was rather good. Didn't you?
  • Diana Lake: Oh, good morning.
  • Alan Howard: Good morning, Diana. This is Commander Rogers.
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: [nodding to her] Miss Lake.
  • Diana Lake: How do you do.
  • Cmdr. Bill Rogers: How do you do.
  • Diana Lake: Oh, I had no idea you were arriving this morning.
  • Alan Howard: Hadn't you? You asked me what train he was coming by.
