- Walter Blunt: Harry! I had another dream about a Burt Lancaster movie. This time he was swimming and then he had a cocktail. What do you think that means?
- Harry Chandler: Well, supposedly, sir, everyone we dream about is really us, so Burt Lancaster is actually you, Major.
- Walter Blunt: Ooh, I like that. So there must be some kind of symbolism at play.
- Harry Chandler: Yes. In the last one he was flying and in this one he was swimming. I think it means you're getting somewhere, sir. But where you're going I'm not sure.
- Walter Blunt: [to his son Bertie] Now, next Friday evening, all as part of your training, I am going to show you Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai."
- [to Harry]
- Walter Blunt: And maybe even Rashomon.
- Harry Chandler: I'm not sure the lad is ready for post-war Japanese cinema, Major.
