Reginald Purdell: Alec Harvey

Quotes 

• Alec Harvey : Would you mind telling me where this is?

  Miss Manningford : It's the Marneville Internment Camp for British Women.

  Alec Harvey : Eh? You, come on now, knock it.

  Miss Manningford : We're not in the habit of telling lies, young man!

• Miss Manningford : Everything's all right, then. I'm afraid your friend will have to take care of himself. But, you'll be quite safe here.

  Miss Meredith : Muriel, you're not suggesting we should have a man in our room all night?

  Miss Manningford : My dear, Claire, it's our duty! The young man shall sleep in your bed - and you shall share mine.

  Alec Harvey : You know, I know what my wife's gonna say if ever this leaks out. She'll say I bailed out here on purpose.

  Miss Meredith : Well, we shan't tell anybody. You can be sure of that.

• Alec Harvey : I could be happy here.

  Rosemary Brown : You'll be safe here.

  Alec Harvey : For how long? I never knew one woman who could keep her mouth shut, let alone 2,000.

  Rosemary Brown : You may be surprised.

• Alec Harvey : You know, that girl's face gets on my nerves. What was she before she was interned?

  Jimmy Moore : How do I know?

  Alec Harvey : Well, I've seen her before somewhere. Everything about her. Her eyes. Her face. Her neck. Shape.

  Jimmy Moore : Must you?

  Alec Harvey : Well, I'm trying to concentrate on the parts I'm most likely to remember.

  Jimmy Moore : Well, don't!

• Alec Harvey : I knew something like this would happen once we landed amongst all these women.
