Dunkirk (1958)

Mrs Johns: All the same, he may be right. Perhaps they don't want war.
John Holden: Eh? Don't want war? What about Norway and Denmark? They went in there quick enough.
Mrs Johns: Hm, I suppose you're right.
John Holden: Of course I'm right. It's a lot of blasted propaganda.
Mrs Johns: Still, they do let him say it on the radio, don't they?

Merchant Seaman: You make me sick. All of you. It may be a phony war to you, but it's not to all the blokes at sea. Never has been.

Diana: It's no use tearing yourself to pieces, Charles.
Charles: Yes, but we're being such fools.
Diana: Poor old Charles. You'd like to get at them with your bare hands, wouldn't you?
Charles: As far as I can see, that's about all we've got. Our bare hands.

Corporal 'Tubby' Binns: Well, what do we do now?
Mike: You've got the stripes, Tubby. You tell us.
Corporal 'Tubby' Binns: Yeah. Yeah, I suppose you're right. What do we do, then?

Jouvet: Gamelin sent the 7th Army to Holland. What is there left?
Charles: But you can't mean that? The whole principle of the Maginot Line was to build up a strong reserve. What did your Generals do with them?
Jouvet: Generals? They sacked 15 frontline Generals three days ago. Did you know that?
Charles: But you called up two million men. What have you done with them?
Jouvet: Who are you to talk? What have you British sent to France? 200-300,000?

Jouvet: It is the one virtue that we French have left. We are realists. This battle is lost.

Tubby: They seemed to hate us.
Mike: Refugees hate everybody. Wouldn't you?
Tubby: Well, they don't need to hate us.

Barlow: That's murder. That's sheer bloody murder. I hope somebody knows what they're doing.


Charles: I don't know. Fools at the top, fools at the bottom. There are times when I don't think we ought to win this war.

Navy Officer: The first convoy of boats will leave at dawn for Ramsgate.
Charles: Can't we go now, sir?
Navy Officer: At dawn. You're under orders now... And thank you all.

Mike: They're your lot, Tubby.
Tubby: You mean, they were my lot.
Mike: And they still are. So long as you go these.
Tubby: I always told you, I never wanted them.
Mike: You're still stuck with them.
Tubby: They just hate my guts.
Mike: Of course they do. You got the stripes.

Vice Admiral Ramsay: We've got to take that chance, sir... There are 30,000 men on the open beaches at this moment. There are 50,000 in the dunes behind them. There are 100,000 men in the country between the dunes and the canal. We've got to get them out, sir.

Tubby: What caused all this?
Charles: Stupidity. Everybody saying the war was so damnable it couldn't happen again, shoving our heads in the sand like a lot of ostriches.
Tubby: Well, the Germans didn't think that way.
Charles: To them war meant guns or butter. They chose guns.
Tubby: We chose butter.
Charles: No, you can't blame the army. Last-war weapons, last-war methods. This is the result.
Tubby: What happens now? After this.
Charles: If we're lucky, we'll get another chance. Heaven knows we don't deserve it. Get the best men in the right jobs.
Tubby: Do you think we've made a start? With old Churchill, I mean.
Charles: Yes. Yes, I think we've made a start.

Newsreel Commentator: 'Dunkirk was a great defeat and a great miracle. It proved, if it proved anything, that we were alone but undivided. No longer were there fighting men and civilians. There were only people. A nation had been made whole.'
