Frank Thornton: Commander L

Quotes 

• Commander L : [a large Arab is swining a sword at the Colonel and Jane]  Do you think I ought to tell him we're British?

  Jane : I think he's guessed.

  Commander L : What's the Arabic for fair play?

• Jane : Commander, I can smell Egyptian cigarettes.

  Commander L : Not surprising, as we're in Egypt.

• Tombs : Excuse me, sir, but how does that dog smell?

  Commander L : Well now you come to mention it, heh, pretty awful

  [caption above Fritz' head: I don't believe it!] 

  Tombs : No, no, no, I don't mean that, I mean, uh... how is he on a scent.

  Commander L : Ascent?

  Tombs : Yes.

  Commander L : You mean you wanted to climb something?

  Georgie Porgie : No, not ascent, sir, a scent. Could he follow Jane's scent?

  Tombs : Yes.

  Commander L : Ah, I see what you mean, oh, what a damned clever idea of yours, Georgie.

  Tombs : Typical.
