• Clapper : You married?

  Gripweed : No, I play the harmonica.

• Clapper : What we want is more humane killers!

• Juniper : [enters scene dressed as a clown, pulling a hobby horse, as if acting a scene]  Will you take my horse, sir?

  Transom : [to Goodbody]  Take no large notice, sir. He is working what is known as ticket, sir. Keeps the lads amused.

  [Clapper, Drouge, and Spool join Juniper, dressed normally] 

  Transom : Pick those bits up, Gripweed!

  [joining the scene] 

  Transom : Where's your tin hat gone, Juniper?

  Juniper : Losing by neglect, sir!

  Transom : If I catch you without your tin hat in a battle zone again, I'll ram it down your throat!

  Clapper : Losing by neglect, one mess tin.

  Juniper : One mess tin!

  Transom : Did you have your name on it?

  [aside, to Goodbody] 

  Transom : Take no notice, sir.

  Juniper : Scratched on!

  Goodbody : Pull these...

  Clapper : Scratched on?

  Goodbody : ...men together!

  Juniper : Scored it!

  Transom : How dare you disfigure government property? Six days royal warrant. March him off, Musket Major. Two men!

  [exeunt Juniper, Clapper, Drogue, and Spool] 

  Transom : [to Goodbody]  Ought to camouflage up, sir, or go - or go get the scrim up, sir, if you're stopping. Us in our, uh, vests here, sir. Exposed to all manner of nasty -

  Goodbody : [interrupting, angry but calm]  I'm going to explode, but I won't. I think the roller, don't you?
