The Guns of Navarone

"...To win a war, you have to be just as nasty as the enemy. What worries me is that were likely to wake up one morning and find out weve become even nastier than they were."

"She is my friend, Anna. She is one of us. Its bad that this happened to her. Before the Germans came, she was a school teacher in Mandrakos. Last year, she was caught. They tortured her to make her betray us. They whipped her until the white of her bones showed. Some nights we could hear her screaming. Then they took her to the fortress and they kept her there for six months. When they let her go, she could not speak. She has never spoken since, not even in her dreams. Even I have never been allowed to see the scars on her back. But shes a good fighter - as good as any of you. She is like a ghost. She goes anywhere. She got us these guns and she kills without mercy. You are very lucky brother."

"[as the team prepares to leave, Miller comes stomping in] Everybody stay exactly where you are! The partys over. Somebody stepped on the cake! [opens his case] Exhibit A: a clockwork fuse. Elementary and archaic, but they work. Only this one doesnt work, you know why? The clocks okay, but the contact arms been broken off. This clock could tick away until Christmas, and it wouldnt set off a firecracker! [throws it in a corner] Exhibit B: Exhibit B is missing! All my slow-burning fuses are gone, disappeared, vanished! Exhibit C: my time pencils. [holds one up] Seventy-five grains of fulminate of mercury in every one of them, enough to blow off my hand. And very unstable, very delicate. [He smacks the one in his hand against the bundle of the rest, then violently crumples the whole mess together, and throws them in a corner] Which means there is a traitor in this room."
