• [Montagu has just informed Admiral Cross of the secret plan to use a freshly dead body as if it were a live person to fool the Nazis] 

  Adm. Cross : In over thirty years of intelligence work I've never heard of anything like it.

  Lieutenant Commander Ewen Montagu : Neither have the Germans.

  Adm. Cross : It's the most outrageous, disgusting, preposterous, not to say barbaric idea. But work out full details and be on hand at the War Cabinet Offices at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon.

  Lieutenant Commander Ewen Montagu : Thank you, sir!
