Quotes

Charters : If only we hadn't missed that train at Budapest.
Caldicott : Well, I don't want to rub it in, but if you hadn't insisted on standing up until they'd finished their national anthem...
Charters : Yes, but you must show respect, Caldicott. If I'd known it was going to last twenty minutes...
Caldicott : It has always been my contention that the Hungarian Rhapsody is *not* their national anthem.

Iris Henderson : I was having tea about an hour ago with an English lady. You saw her, didn't you?
Charters : Well, I don't know, I mean, I was talking to my friend, wasn't I?
Caldicott : Indubitably.
Iris Henderson : Yes, but you were sitting at the next table. She turned and borrowed the sugar. You must remember.
Charters : Yes, I recall passing the sugar.
Iris Henderson : Well then you saw her.
Charters : I repeat we were deep in conversation. We were discussing cricket.
Iris Henderson : Well, I don't see how a thing like cricket can make you forget seeing people.
Charters : Oh, don't you? If that's your attitude, there's nothing more to be said! Come Caldicott. "A thing like cricket!"
Gilbert : Wrong tactics. We should've told him we were looking for a lost cricket ball.

Charters : [Speaking into the telephone] Tell me, what's happening to England?
[pause]
Charters : Blowing a gale? No, I'm inquiring about the test match in Manchester.
[pause]
Charters : Cricket, sir. Cricket!
[pause]
Charters : You don't know? You can't be in England and not know the test score.
Charters : [Turns to Caldicott] The fellow says he doesn't know.
Caldicott : Silly ass!
-
Caldicott : [In the middle of the shootout, pausing before firing his gun again] We'll never get to the match now!
-
Caldicott : People just don't vanish and so forth.
Charters : She has.
Caldicott : What?
Charters : Vanished.
Caldicott : Who?
Charters : The old dame.
Caldicott : Yes.
Charters : Well?
Caldicott : Well, how could she?
Charters : What?
Caldicott : Well, vanish.
Charters : I don't know.
Caldicott : That just explains my point. People don't just disappear into thin air.

Mr. Todhunter : l won't be a party to this sort of thing. l don't believe in fighting!
Caldicott : Pacifist, eh? Won't work, old boy. Early Christians tried it and got thrown to the lions.
-
Caldicott : [Listening to Miss Froy sing the tune during the shootout] The old girl has gone off her rocker!
-
Caldicott : [reading the "Herald Tribune" newspaper] Nothing but baseball. You know, we used to call it Rounders. Children play it with a rubber ball and a stick. Not a word about cricket. Americans got no sense of proportion.

Caldicott : I don't suppose there is such a thing as a wireless set hereabouts.
