Edgar Brodie : Oh, I'm to have an assistant, am I?
'R' : Yes, and in the circumstances, a very useful one. We call him the "Hairless Mexican".
Edgar Brodie : Oh? Why?
'R' : Well, chiefly because he's got a lot of curly hair and isn't a Mexican. You can call him The General. He isn't a general, but he'll appreciate the compliment.
-
'R' : Tell me. Do you love your country?
Edgar Brodie : Well, I'd just died for it.
-
Edgar Brodie : We aren't hunting a fox, we're hunting a man. He's an oldish man, with a wife. Oh, I know it's war and it's our job to do it, but that doesn't prevent it being murder - simple murder!
-
Edgar Brodie : A lady-killer, eh?
'R' : Not only ladies.
