Philip Calvert : I have everybody breathing down my neck: the Admiralty, the Government, the Americans... and the insurance assessors. Grubby little men with gabardine raincoats and dandruff.
Philip Calvert : Well I don't have dandruff, Sir, if it's any consolation.
Uncle Arthur : Yes, I don't think you need demonstrate your questionable attitude to authority *quite* so early.

Philip Calvert : [trying to get past an armed guard] Now listen, you've got to distract the guard.
Sue Kirkside : [naively] How?
Philip Calvert : [starts unlacing the front of her blouse] Guess.
Sue Kirkside : [slaps him] Stop.
Philip Calvert : All I want you to do is distract that guard.

Philip Calvert : Oh, that's all we need - is a guard that's queer.
