• [during an air-raid, Peter Ross's plane lands temporarily for refuelling at Malta on its way to Cairo; everyone hurries off the plane and takes cover in trenches] 

  Flight Lt. Peter Ross : Is it *always* like this?

  Eden, Security : Usually. Colourful, isn't it. They'll refuel as soon as they get a chance and get you off.

  [the plane they have just arrived on is hit by a bomb and goes up in flames] 

  Eden, Security : Sorry. Cancel my last remark.

• Eden, Security : Of course he's not a born military type, but I'll back him.
