Tim Pigott-Smith: Ronald Merrick

Quotes 

• Capt. Ronald Merrick : So what's the truth, Dixon? Are you a hero, or a bloody pansy?

  'Sophie' Dixon : I don't think, Captain Merrick, that's the kind of question we ought to ask ourselves, do you?

• Capt. Ronald Merrick : In point of fact, Corporal Dixon, I've been finding out quite a bit about you.

  'Sophie' Dixon : There's some fearful gossip, sir. You shouldn't pay attention.

  Capt. Ronald Merrick : I've been hearing about your active service record in the Arakan. According to my informant, you were the one who kept on joking - risking your life to bring in the wounded under fire. They should have given Sophie Dixon the MM, that's what I've been told.

  'Sophie' Dixon : Oh, that would never do, sir. And where would they pin it, cheeky things.
