Col. John Lawrence: [talking to Jack through the wall dividing two holding cells] You should have joined the Foreign Legion, Jack. It would have been an easier life.
Maj. Jack Celliers: That's the last thing I want.
Col. John Lawrence: [hearing the soldiers approaching] Ah, here comes the milkman now!
Maj. Jack Celliers: [joins in the joke] Two pints?
Col. John Lawrence: Shouldn't we order an extra one? It's Christmas, remember?
Maj. Jack Celliers: [patters] Heavens, Christmas already. Well, it was lovely chatting but I really must fly.
Col. John Lawrence: [laughs] It's not you. They've come for me!
[being dragged out of the cell]
Maj. Jack Celliers: [being dragged too] How is it John you're always wrong?
