• Mayor of Colleville : [meeting the British on the beach]  Welcome; welcome, friends. I brought champagne, but I do know think it will be enough for all of you.

  Lord Lovat : Quite alright. We have a pressing engagement; the war. Move inland.

  [to his bagpiper] 

  Lord Lovat : Millen, Blue Bonnett!

  [as British troops march inland to the bagpipe playing of Millen, the mayor of Colleville raises his champagne bottle in salute, which earns the bemused observation of Clough and Flanagan] 

  Pvt. Clough : [to Flanagan]  If you ask me, Flanagan, there are a lot of pretty peculiar blokes on this beach.

• Lord Lovat : Most of you have had your feet wet before: Dunkirk, Dieppe, Norway. And we know what it means to be driven into the sea. In a few hours we're going back from the sea. And this time we're going to stay. There's no time for any sob stuff about England, home and beauty. Remember, our people have had a rough time for four and a half years. They've earned the final victory. Let's give it to them.
