Corporal Miller: I've inspected this vessel, and I think you ought to know that, ah, I can't swim. Mallory: I'll keep it in mind.

Mallory: [On Andrea] He's going to kill me when the war's over. Major Franklin: You're not serious. Mallory: Yes, I am. So is he. [pause] Mallory: About a year ago, I gave a German patrol a safe passage to get some of their wounded into hospital. I g...
