Charters : I bought a copy of Mein Kampf. Occurred to me it might shed a spot of light on all this... how d'ye do. Ever read it?
Caldicott : Never had the time.
Charters : I understand they give a copy to all the bridal couples over here.
Caldicott : Oh, I don't think it's that sort of book, old man.

Station Master : [to Charters and Caldicott who are sitting on a baggage cart] You can't sit here.
Charters : Why not ?
Station Master : This truck is required. Come on. Off, off, off, off, off, off.
Charters : I suppose these bags aren't required too ?
Station Master : Off, off, off, off, off, off, off.
Charters : Pushed about from pillar to post by this railway ever since we got on the train.
Caldicott : Yeah, everything we sit on seems to be required.
Charters : It's monstrous.
Caldicott : We shall write to the company about this. You're not at war with England yet, you know.
Station Master : But you are mistaken. France declared war this afternoon. Und England declared war this morning. So ! Achtung !
Charters : War...
Caldicott : Yes.
Charters : Good heavens !
Caldicott : What's the matter ?
Charters : My golf clubs.
Caldicott : Where are they ?
Charters : I lent them to Max in Berlin. Like a fool, I said he needn't bring them back til next Wednesday... Probably seen the last of them.
Caldicott : Yes. I expect they'll require them for something or other.

Charters : [at newsstand, next to display of "Mein Kampf" and "Gone With the Wind"] There's not a copy of this week's "Punch" ?
Saleswoman : Please ?
Charters : "Punch." English magazine. Very humorous. You must have a copy.
Saleswoman : No.
Charters : [to Caldicott] She hasn't got a "Punch" old man.
Caldicott : Hasn't she ?
Charters : No.
Caldicott : Well. Sold out I suppose.

Caldicott : [Looking through papers in stationmaster's office] It's all in German.
Charters : [to telephone operator] What ? Well, how long then ? Oh, alright.
[to Caldicott]
Charters : Blasted junction's engaged by the military. They'll call me back.
Caldicott : These people seem to have no idea of business as usual.
