• Lady Houston : Nobody seems to be worrying much about our country these days. But, I'm doing my best to make them.

  Reginald J. Mitchell : Yes, so I see.

  Lady Houston : They won't believe me. But, I can see something. I can see England in danger. We've got to be strong on land and on sea.

  Reginald J. Mitchell : And in the air!

  Lady Houston : What? What?

  Reginald J. Mitchell : And in the air.

  Lady Houston : Fiddlesticks. What can we do in the air except fly at ridiculous speeds? Besides it isn't natural to fly. We're not birds.

  Reginald J. Mitchell : You're not a fish; but, you've got a yacht.

  Lady Houston : That sounds rude.

  Reginald J. Mitchell : It wasn't intended to be, I assure you.

  Lady Houston : Don't apologize, young man. Please. Everybody's rude these days.

• Lady Houston : I shall remember you, young man. I shall remember you.
