• Roy Cronin : Is Miss Deauville in?

  Mrs. Hobley : Oh, you're the young fella who was with her last night, aren't you? No, I'm afraid she isn't back yet.

  Roy Cronin : Oh, you mean she's out shopping, or something?

  Mrs. Hobley : Shopping's right!

• Roy Cronin : Say, are you an American?

  Myra : Say, are you a mind reader?

  Roy Cronin : Y-y-yeah. Listen, I'm an American too.

  Myra : You were one of the boys who couldn't wait, huh?

  Roy Cronin : Oh, I don't know about that. Found myself one morning with nothing to do. So, I thought I'd come to France.

  Myra : What for?

  Roy Cronin : Fun.

  Myra : Was it?

  Roy Cronin : No.

• Roy Cronin : Is this your first air raid?

  Myra : Oh, golly no. I've been in five or six.

• Myra : Well, looks like the raids over, soldier.

  Roy Cronin : Does that mean you want me to buzz off?

  Myra : Well, it's gettin' kinda late.

• Mrs. Wetherby : Does it feel good to be home, darling?

  Roy Cronin : Oh, swell.

• Mrs. Hobley : That common little soldier girl!

  Roy Cronin : What did you call her?

  Mrs. Hobley : I called her what she is! And what you know full well she is.

  Roy Cronin : Aren't you kinda careless about what you say?

  Mrs. Hobley : No! I'm choosing my words careful. More careful than I choose me lodgers.

• Roy Cronin : Where would I be likely to find her?

  Mrs. Hobley : Oh, anywhere along the Strand, Leicester Square, Piccadilly. And of course there's always Waterloo Bridge. A good many of 'em hangs about there to try to get the soldiers just coming in on leave.

• Mrs. Hobley : Of course, its none of my business, sir, what you do and what you don't do. But I know 'er and I know 'er kind... and if you take my advice, when you do see her, you'll take that receipt and you'll throw it in her painted face and then you'll 'ave no more to do with her! But traffic women, like 'ers, only leads to sin and sin leads to suffering. And a soldier like you has had enough of suffering in this awful war, without having to be contaminated and robbed by the likes of those...

  Roy Cronin : Oh, shut your dirty face!
