Quotes
-
Cockney Soldier : Any of you blokes got a cigarette?
Bert Thomas : Yeah.
Cockney Soldier : Thanks. You know, you Yanks got here in the nick of time. We were running shy of these. Besides, we could do with some help.
[shell whistles]
Cockney Soldier : Look out!
Cockney Soldier : It takes a while, but you'll learn when to flop and when not to. They say you never hear the one that hits you. Bah - that's only half the truth.
Cockney Soldier : The whole truth is that if you hears it, you've got a chance. Duck! See what I mean?
Cockney Soldier : Heinie's got the range good.
'Pusher' Ross : Yeah. A guy could get killed round here.
Bert Thomas : Duck!
Cockney Soldier : Don't be afraid - this one will pass over. See? Takes time it do, but you'll get the 'ang of it.
[another shell whistles]
Cockney Soldier : Duck again!
Cockney Soldier : If that was shrapnel now, we wouldn't be flopping at all.
Cockney Soldier : We only flop when...
[notices Bert has been hit]
'Pusher' Ross : Okay, Bert, the express has gone through.
[realises Bert is dead]
'Pusher' Ross : Bert!
Cockney Soldier : If one's got your name on it, there's nothing you can do.
