I am making notes, Captain, and your name will go on the list; and when we win the war you will be brought to account.
You can write what you like; you're not going to win this war!
U-boat CaptainOh yes, we are.
Oh no, you're not.
U-boat CaptainOh yes, we are!
[Singing] Whistle while you work, Hitler is a twerp, he's half-barmy, so's his army, whistle while you work!
U-boat CaptainYour name will also go on the list! What is it?
Don't tell him Pike!
U-boat CaptainPike!
U-boat CaptainJust to make sure, Captain, that your behaviour is correct, this old man will march in front of me [puts grenade down Jones' trousers with string attached to pin]. One false move from you...and I pull the string!

A terrible way to die!
[to the U-boat captain] You unspeakable swine!
