Flight Lt. Peter Ross : Hello.
Maria Gonzar : Hello.
Flight Lt. Peter Ross : So... you weren't killed.
Maria Gonzar : No... I hardly ever am.
-
Maria Gonzar : Peter?
Flight Lt. Peter Ross : Yes?
Maria Gonzar : Do you think they will come?
Flight Lt. Peter Ross : Who? The Germans? I shouldn't think so.
Maria Gonzar : Why not. They have many more planes. There's not much to stop them.
Flight Lt. Peter Ross : I don't think things happen like that, do they?

[during an air-raid, Peter Ross's plane lands temporarily for refuelling at Malta on its way to Cairo; everyone hurries off the plane and takes cover in trenches]
Flight Lt. Peter Ross : Is it *always* like this?
Eden, Security : Usually. Colourful, isn't it. They'll refuel as soon as they get a chance and get you off.
[the plane they have just arrived on is hit by a bomb and goes up in flames]
Eden, Security : Sorry. Cancel my last remark.
