• Landlord : It's getting pretty late isn't it?

  Maj. Bone : I don't wanna know what time it is.

• Maj. Bone : Well, I'd like some of that too.

  Landlord : Some of what?

  Maj. Bone : Some of what you've been drinking.

• Mrs. Bone : You seem very experienced.

  Maj. Bone : No, just an ordinary public school education.

• Maj. Bone : Oh, nonsense, Constance.

• Maj. Bone : You should have thought of that before it happened.

  Peter Wyckham : How could I have thought of it before it happened when it hasn't happened?

• Landlord : Well, how far is it?

  Maj. Bone : Well, how do I know? If I knew how far it was, I'd know the name of the place, wouldn't I?

  Landlord : Not necessarily.

  Maj. Bone : What?

  Landlord : Not necessarily. Now take China, for instance.

  Maj. Bone : What's wrong with China?

  Landlord : You know where China is, but you don't know how far it is, not strictly speaking.

• Maj. Bone : Is this it?

  Pinhorn : No, we took the wrong road.

  Maj. Bone : What do you mean, WE took the wrong road? I haven't taken it have I?

  Pinhorn : That's simply a matter of figure of speech.
