- Adam Adamant: Oh, by the way, I should put a guard on this body if I were you. You never know, it might strangle itself.
- Col. Mannering: [to Adamant] I just realized it: you've obviously gone senile. But then at your age that's hardly surprising.
- Adam Adamant: Oh, by the way, this young lady has absolutely no right to enter this camp. Would you kindly keep her at the gate?
- Georgina Jones: Of all the!
- Sgt. Major Jeffers: [to Mannering] The time for talking is over.
- Adam Adamant: [standing in the door opening] Not quite, sir.
- Sgt. Major Jeffers: [turns round] How did you get in here?
- Adam Adamant: Through the door. Your rear guard wasn't very alert, I'm afraid, I, I could have killed you all.
