• Corporal : Good morning. Blowy day?

  Maureen : Yes, Corporal - it's the wind!

  Corporal : Only want to be friendly, kids.

  Irish Girl : Then go back to London, and write us a letter!

  Corporal : I don't come from London, love.

  Maureen's boyfriend : Go anyway.

• Thomas Ryan : [Corporal is reading a newspaper article about fighting in France]  It seems the Jerries are giving your brave lads out there a terrible scrimmage, then.

  Corporal : Aye.

  Mr. McCardle : Well, you see Tom, Jerry's a tougher proposition than unarmed Irish children.

  Corporal : As far as I know, Mr. McCardle, no children were killed!

  [laughs of disbelief] 

  Corporal : All right, there were. They get you in this uniform, you aim your gun where you're told to point it, and you pull the trigger. And so does Jerry... and so would you!
