Archy Hamilton: I'll see you when I see you. Frank Dunne: Yeah. Not if I see you first.
Archy Hamilton: We don't stop them there, they could end up here. Camel Driver: And they're welcome to it.
Army Doctor: Teeth aren't all that good. Snowy: Supposed to shoot the enemy mate, not bite them.

Frank Dunne: [to Archy] The thing I can't stand about you, mate, is you're always so bloody cheerful.
Major Barton: Marker flags? Who told him there were marker flags? Lt. Grey: I heard someone say they'd seen one sir. Major Barton: Who? WHO? Lt. Grey: I'm not sure sir. Major Barton: Grey, you bloody idiot! Nobody got further than ten yards! Frank Du...
