The Lost People (1949)

William Hartnell: Barnes

Quotes 

• Barnes : [Ridley and Barnes Survey the interior of the theatre Dispersal Centre]  Saturday night at the Palais! I have them half-sorted out, Sir. Lats, Lits, Yugoslavs, down here. Some Norwegians and Dutch. You can put the Dutch anywhere, Sir.

  Ridley : What's that fellow over there?

  Barnes : Jews, Sir. They want to get to Palestine.

  Ridley : Still in the ghetto, I see.

  Ridley : And those?

  Barnes : Stateless, mostly.

  Barnes : [Walking around the various groups of people]  White Russians. Greek exiles. I had some Poles and 'Eyeties' in the Circle, Sir. French and Russians in the Gallery.

  Barnes : [a disturbance breaks out]  This sort of fun the whole of the time, Sir. The nearer they live back home, the further apart we have to keep them in this theatre, Sir.

  Ridley : [Looking at the crowd from the stage]  Something we'll never see again - the whole of Europe under one roof.
