"And so, at his suggestion, we are trying to make arrangements to supply" "The officers of the German Army with our champagne." "Most of it was confiscated when France was occupied."

"Lighter!" "Thank you." "Oh, here's Grune now." "Well, what was your impression?" " Of what?" " Of the two men, of course." " I don't know..." " Do you think they're genuine champagne merchants?" "I did." "From what you tell me, it's quite obvious they are not." " Anyway, the champagne looks too good." " And the talks are wrong." " Yes." " Well, then who are they?" "Either Gestapo or a counter-espionage." "Nosing around for something, obviously." "Well, they won't get anything out of us." "They better not."

"It is madness!" " I shan't be long." "Oh, there you are, sir." " All present and correct, sir." " Any information?" " My missus got a bit from the duty gunner, sir." " Oh?" "What did he have to say?" " He was crying, sir." " Crying?" "Yes, crying like a baby, he was." "They wanted to send him off to Russia, but he didn't want to go." "He preferred to stop here because, as he told my missus," "They've got underground fortifications here." " Oh?" "Where?" "That I don't know, sir." "But they're all controlled from one spot, also underground." " But you don't know where they're situated?" " No, sir." "(DOOR CLOSING)" "Raoul, please, please stay indoors." " You have no idea how frightened I am." " I have work to do, Michele." "And your friend?" "Where is he?" " I thought he was coming back." " He will come back." "You'll see." "They're all right." " When it's enlarged, will the conventional signs come up?" " Yes, should do." "Look, there's that coastal battery." "And there's the Panzer formation." "Anyway, we've got some decent targets for the bomber boys." "Now if only we could find out more about that underground control room." "Then we'd have the whole thing in the bag." "You used not to worry like this for Monsieur Raoul." " What's the matter now?" " My hands." "They're terrible!" "Don't you worry." "He won't be looking at your hands tonight." "Violette, you're a very silly old woman." "Now run along." "Dinner's nearly ready." "You look as though you've just stepped out of one of these frames." "Monsieur Garnett, I did not see you." " What a lovely dress." " Do you like it?" "Yes, I do." "Makes you look..." "I don't know, it makes you look..." " You know what I mean?" " Not quite." "Well, it does." "Yet there's something missing." "I can't think what it is." " Lipstick?" " No, it's not that." "Powder, then?" "My nose is shiny." "No." "I know, a flower." "Let's go in the garden and get one, shall we?" " Is it safe for you?" " Yes." "You know, I should like that moon, but I don't, I hate it." " What's wrong with it?" " Well, we ought to get cracking soon." " All I want is dark, dark clouds." " I see." "You may not believe it, but this was once quite a show garden." "How awful for you to watch it gradually disintegrating." " Is that the right word?" " Shall I give you some English lessons, Monsieur Garnett?" "I wish you would." "Then I could help you with your French." "(LAUGHS)" " That's the first time I've seen you laugh." " You laugh a lot in England?" "Yes, I suppose we do." "Must be the climate." "Here we are." "How do you mean, the climate?" "Well, you wake up in the morning and it's raining," "And you could get depressed about it, but you don't." "You say to yourself," ""This rain, it is marvelous, invigorating, inspiring!"" "And inevitable." " It rains a lot in England?" " Mmm, quite a lot." "But we don't mind, we owe everything we've got to it." "Even our empire." "How do you make that out?" "Well, what do you think made people like Cook and Raleigh" "And all the other Empire builders go off in search of new lands?" "The spirit of adventure?" "No, it was the rain!" "They got sick of it, so they went off to find a better climate." "It makes me feel better just to listen to you." " In that case, I better stay here for good." " Would you?" " Oh, nothing I'd like more." " Aren't you married?" "Good heavens, no." " Do I look married?" " You look as if..." "As if you knew women." "Well, you know, between 20 and 30 I thought I did." "And then I reluctantly came to the conclusion I knew more about horses." " What were you before the war?" " Soldier." "Cavalry." "Oh, I went to India, Egypt, I had a lot of fun." " And now the fun is over?" " Yes." "The mechanized us." "You know, I shan't see you till after the war." "That's awful." "Terrible." "I feel somehow as if..." " Am I falling in love with you?" " Only for a moment." "My hands..." " What's the matter with them?" " They are so rough." "(SIRENS BLARING)" "Sirens." "Come one, let's go." "There she blows." "We were thinking that..."

" Sir, all present and correct, sir." " Where's Major Garnett?" "I had to leave him behind, sir." "Something's happened to him." " I feel it." " Take it easy." "Don't worry, miss." "He'll be along in a minute." " Here, put that on, you look like a German." " Oh, thank you, sir." " Only a few more yards." " Yeah, I'm enjoying the stroll." "Peter!" "Thank heavens you're safe!" " Everything all right?" " Now you're here, everything's fine." " This is Mackenzie." " How do you do?" "Hello!" "The boys are certainly doing a good job, aren't they?" "Yeah, and tonight's raid won't be the last." "We'll go on hitting them again and again, then some more." "We'll show those Huns." "We'll give 'em war." "Excuse me, sir, you better come with me." "The boat's not far away, just a hop, skip and a jump." " I beg your pardon." "(LAUGHING) That's all right with me." "The call signal's just gone up." "We'll make them pay for Raoul, Michele." " We'd better hurry." " I'm not coming with you." "I'm staying here." "Are you crazy?" "Peter, if you and Raoul can do all that you have done," "I can do a little, too." "Rene needs me, so does Violette," "And tomorrow there will be German soldiers billeted at the chateau." "I can be very useful." "Michele, my darling." "RED:" "Come on, you two!" "Go along, Peter." "This will bring you safety." "SOLDIER:" "Come on, boys!" "Goodbye, Michele." "Au revoir." "Peter." "*"
