Strictly Ballroom - Fear and Ambition in Dance
Fran:
A life lived in fear is a life half lived.
Barry Fife: [referring to Ken Railings]
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.

Marker flags? Who told him there were marker flags?

Who? WHO?

Gallipoli - Orders and Consequences in Military Command
Col. Robinson: [on the telephone]
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.

Gallipoli - Strategic Deception in Military Operations
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.

Gallipoli - Call to Action for the 10th Light Horse
Major Barton: [to the soldiers]
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: [soldiers cheer]
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!
