Peter Cook: I want you to lay down your life, Perkins. We need a futile gesture at this stage. It will raise the whole tone of the war. Get up in a crate, Perkins, pop over to Bremen, take a shufti, don't come back. Goodbye, Perkins. God, I wish I was going too.
Jonathan Miller: Goodbye, sir — or is it — au revoir?
Peter Cook: No, Perkins.

‘Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you? Did she die in vain?
That brave Hungarian peasant girl who forced King John to sign the pledge at Runnymede and close the boozers at half past ten?
Is all this to be forgotten?’
