Bill Hunter Quotes

Fran A life lived in fear is a life half lived.

Barry Fife Let's not forget, Les, that a Pan Pacific Champion becomes a hero, a guiding light to all dancers, someone who'll set the right example.

Barry Fife If you can't dance a step, you can't teach it, and if you can't teach it - we might as well all pack up and go home. With young Liz available again, you've got a chance to get your status quo vadis back... so to speak.

Major Barton What your telling me Sir and correct me if I'm wrong, is that the infantry attack on Lone Pine, and our attack on the Nek are diversions.

Col. Robinson They're not just diversions Major, vital important diversions. Tonight, 25,000 British troops will land here at Suvla Bay. Our attacks are to draw the Turks down on us so the British can get ashore. Sorry I didn't tell you this before, secrecy is vital.

Major Barton But Sir, the Nek is a fortress. Protected by at least five machine guns at point-blank range.

Col. Robinson Yeah, we've considered that Barton. We're gonna hit their trenches with the heaviest barrage of the campaign just before your men go over the top.

Artillery Officer By the time we've finished here, there won't be a Turk within miles.

Col. Robinson The Turks can keep us pinned down at ANZAC forever. This new British landing is our only hope. We must do what we can to make it succeed. Because of it does succeed, we'll have Constantinople with a week, and knock Turkey out of the war.

Major Barton Marker flags? Who told him there were marker flags?

Lt. Grey I heard someone say they'd seen one sir.

Major Barton Who? WHO?

Lt. Grey I'm not sure sir.

Major Barton Grey, you bloody idiot! Nobody got further than ten yards!

Frank Why don't you go above Robinson's head sir?

Major Barton To General Gardner, go like the wind!

Col. Robinson Those men of the third wave should have gone, Barton. Marker flags were seen.

Major Barton Not by me, sir. I've asked for confirmation from General Gardner.

Col. Robinson Your orders are to attack and you'll do so immediately! The British at Suvla must be allowed to get ashore! Is that clear? You are to push on!

Major Barton It's cold blooded murder!

Col. Robinson I said push on!

Major Barton Yes sir.

Major Barton All right men... we're going. But I want you to remember who you are. You are the 10th Light Horse! Men from Western Australia. Don't forget it. Good luck.

Sgt. Sayers As you all know, this morning's exercise involves a frontal assault on an enemy trench, the enemy being some "gentlemen" from the Light Horse. These "gentlemen," presumably because their arses are higher from the ground than ours, tend to assume airs of superiority. But, they won't have their horses with them today, so I want you to go out there this morning, and short of actually killing them, show them the stuff the infantry is MADE OF!

Charlie Are you okay?

Louis Yeah.

Charlie Are you sure?

Louis Yeah.

Charlie Good. Because I am gonna beat you soft, Louis!

Louis Like this is my fault?!

Charlie First rule of aviation: You never shoot the pilot!

Blue Assume crash positions!

Louis Blue, we already crashed.

Blue Oh, right. No worries then.
