- Kommandant Orlter, alias Major Hammond: [addressing the church's congregation] Obey my order and you will not be harmed. Any person who attempts to escape or communicate with the outside world will be shot!
- [shouting even louder]
- Kommandant Orlter, alias Major Hammond: Is that clear?
- The Vicar: You ask me to bow down to the forces of evil here in this House of God?
- Kommandant Orlter, alias Major Hammond: I ask nothing! I give you my orders!
- The Vicar: I am a minister of the Christian faith. I will take no orders from those who are the enemies and oppressors of mankind!
- Charles Sims, the church warder: [looking at a grave marker for the dead German invaders] Yes, that's the only bit of England they got!
- Mrs Fraser: Do you know what "morale" is?
- George Truscott, boy: Yeah, it's summing what the Wops ain't got.
- Nora: He might have been a German for all you could tell.
- Mrs Fraser: I see - so you think there's a German spy among Major Hammond's men - a spy who can't understand English?
- Nora: No, that's absurd of course.
- Mrs Fraser: [very sarcastically] Perhaps they're all German spies cunningly disguised as Royal Engineers.
- Mrs. Collins: [after witnessing one of the "Royal Engineers" abuse an inquisitive boy] Oh, you great beast! You great bullying brute you, knocking a child about! You're a disgrace to your uniform! Why, you're no better than a German, - that's what you are!
- Charles Sims, the church warder: Good day to you. Come to have a look at Bramley End, have you? Pretty little place, and a nice old church, 13th century, parts of it. Still, it won't be that has brought you here, I don't suppose. It'll be these names on this grave here. And the story that's buried along with them. Looks funny, doesn't it? German names in English churchyard. They wanted England, these Jerries did, and this is the only bit they got. The Battle of Bramley end, The papers called it. Nothing was said about it until after the war, and old Hitler got what was coming to him.
- [Germans are firing at the Manor House]
- Charles Sims, the church warder: Duck madam, duck.
- Mrs Fraser: I am ducking.
