Archy Hamilton : You of all people should be going.
Frank Dunne : Why me of all people?
Archy Hamilton : 'Cause you're an athlete.
Frank Dunne : [laughs] What's that got to do with it?
Archy Hamilton : I've got mates who'd be lucky to do the hundred in twelve and they're going to do their bit, so why shouldn't you?
Frank Dunne : Because it's not our bloody war.
Archy Hamilton : What do you mean, not our war?
Frank Dunne : It's an English war. It's got nothing to do with us.
Archy Hamilton : You know what you are? A bloody coward.
Frank Dunne : There's only one reason why I haven't knocked you down mate.
Archy Hamilton : What?

Col. Robinson : Tell Major Barton that the attack must proceed.
Frank Dunne : Sir, I don't think you've got the picture. They are being cut down before they can get five yards.

Col. Robinson : Bloody line! I don't care! Our marker flags have been seen in the Turkish trenches. The attack is to continue at all costs.
Frank Dunne : But...
Col. Robinson : I repeat, the attack must proceed!
