- Sir Matthew: [holding newspaper] Look at this!
- Insp. Marryatt: Well, we're doing our best, sir. We're keeping Tremayne under constant observation.
- Sir Matthew: Yes, I see you are. Who's heading that team? Catchpole, isn't it?
- Insp. Marryatt: Yes, sir.
- Sir Matthew: His expenses are unbelievable! Who's he working for? Us or the Good Food Guide?
- Maj. Gen. Jeffcock: There's a bomb, dear.
- Mrs. Jeffcock: Where?
- Maj. Gen. Jeffcock: In the jewel room!
- Mrs. Jeffcock: Ah, I thought you meant in here.
- Maj. Gen. Jeffcock: Well, all my men are out.
- Brigadier: All my men are out, too.
- Maj. Gen. Jeffcock: Yes, but your men are at ease. All mine are at attention.
- Brigadier: Well, what does that matter? No one can do anything until the experts get here.
- Insp. Marryatt: Nothing in the ambulance, no equipment, no uniforms?
- Sgt. Catchpole: Apparently not, sir.
- Insp. Marryatt: As I said, I thought they were after the crown jewels.
- Sgt. Catchpole: Do you know, sir, I think it's the army.
- Insp. Marryatt: The army? Incredible! Two Royal Engineers stealing the crown jewels? What the hell you think two Royal Engineers are going to steal the crown jewels for? Bloody initiative test!
