- Caldicott: You seem to be taking a deuce of a lot of stuff with you old man. How long do you think this war's going to last?
- Charters: Nothing like being on the safe side Caldicott.
- Caldicott: Personally I think it will be over by Christmas.
- Charters: Ha ha - that's what they said in the last war.
- Caldicott: Well, last time they said it would be over by Christmas and it wasn't. This time it might be.
- Charters: I doubt whether that's very sound logic old man.
- Charters: Talking of wartime sacrifices, Caldicott - do you remember old Parterton?
- Caldicott: Chap with all those rubber plantations in Malaya?
- Charters: Yes, that's the fellow. Do you remember his valet, Hawkins?
- Caldicott: Yes.
- Charters: He's evacuated to Weston-super-Mare.
- Caldicott: Really?
- Charters: Parterton's simply livid. Hasn't dressed himself for 30 years.
- Caldicott: What's he going to do about it?
- Charters: Follow him. To Weston-super-Mare.
- Caldicott: Oh, by the way, how many mines have we laid here this morning?
- Charters: Erm... 86. No no, 87.
- Caldicott: Sure?
- Charters: Positive.
- Caldicott: Hmm. We must remember not to bathe here after the war.
