(after the execution) Michelle: He is still alive! He's trying to speak. Edith: Dear René, are you in pain? Michelle: Keep quiet, this may be his last breath words. René: Listen carefully, I shall say this only once. My bum is on a thistle.
General Von Klinkerhoffen (To René): You'll be shot at dawn. Von Strohm: Of course, I will supervise it personally. General Von Klinkerhoffen: Good. How does 7 o'clock suit you? René: Later would be better for me. Col. Von Strohm: Quiet, pig, dog! General Von Klinkerhoffen: Hyena! Capt. Hans Geering: Frog face!
Col. Von Strom: You were very good as my daughter. Cap. Hans Geering: I have very good legs.
Edith: If it should go wrong, René, I shall be by your side. And as they take aim, I shall sing "The Marseilles." René: Then I hope they are quick on the trigger.
Yvette: What do you think, René? René: I once had a proverb about the best laid plans of mice and men. This plan was definitely laid by a mouse. Fanny: You can say that again.
Edith (bringing news to the prisoners): Now Michelle's plan! Listen very carefully, she said this only once.
René: We already have a hacksaw, you old fool! Leclerc (dressed as a priest): In that case my son, up yours!
Yvette: René, if they'd shoot us, at least I would die at your side. René: If you died in front of me, at least I'd have a better chance.
Fanny (To Edith): Why have I been left alone so long? Leclerc (in bed with Fanny): I had a headache.
Edith: What is Mr. Leclerc doing in your bed? Fanny: He was sleeping in the cellar. It is very windy down there. Leclerc: It is not much better up here.
Col. Von Strom: Helga. How did you get up there? Helga: I am standing on a peasant.
(The British airmen are lying in Madame Fanny's bed) Flying Officer Fairfax: If the Jerries find us dressed in civvies, it would take quite a lot explaining. Flying Officer Carstairs: If they found us in bed with each other, it would take even more explaining. Flying Officer Fairfax: Carstairs, are you a grammar-school boy? Flying Officer Carstairs: (shocked) How do you know? Flying Officer Fairfax: You're wearing your socks in bed.
Monsieur Leclerc: Of course, Madame, I can help you. I have been in many French nicks! Fanny: Always a gigolo!
This is the first episode to use the "It is I... Leclerc" gag that would go on to become a regular gag throughout the series.
First episode with Hilary Minster in the role of General von Klinkerhoffen.
