Frazer, Mainwaring and others in “Unfinished Business”

Thank goodness! I won't have to clean that thing for three weeks.

That is not the right attitude to adopt, Frazer. You should consider it an honour and a privilege to use this Lewis gun.

If it was a privilege, none of us would ever be getting a look in; you and the Sergeant would be doing it all the time.

That'll do. That'll do. The butterfly spring seems to be missing from here Frazer.

What? Oh aye. So it is. I must have left it in me workshop.

Your workshop?

Aye. I took the gun home to be cleaned.

Look. For a start you've got no right to take that gun off these premises. Most of all that gun is totally useless without its butterfly spring. If a Nazi Storm Trooper came rushing in through that door you could do nothing with that, but hit him with it.

Permission to speak sir. If Frazer were to hit him with it, it wouldn't half make his eyes water.
