• Maj. Alan Crown : [after the Canadians finished singing a mocking version of 'Yankee Doodle']  Corporal Peacock, your stripes are not a licence to behave like an ass. There will be no more insulting or derogatory remarks about the Yanks, is that clear?

  Cpl. Wilfrid Peacock : Yes, sir.

  Cpl. Wilfrid Peacock : [addressing the Canadians]  There will be no more insulting or derogatory remarks about the Yanks.

  Pvt. Hugh MacDonald : Oh, would ordinary insults be acceptable, sir?

• [Upon meeting the rowdy, unkempt American troops for the first time] 

  Maj. Alan Crown : God save the King.

  Capt. Rose : God save us all.

  [Toasting Col. Frederick] 

  Maj. Alan Crown : Long life to the Devil!

  [the Brigade cheers their Colonel]
