Morgan
For chrissakes, Sydney, why didn't you get him out then you had the chance? You had no right to keep him here! Funny sense of priorities.

Debating Coastal Defense Strategy and Mobility
Winston Churchill
I gather you're making a fuss about our Southern Area defences, is that so?
Major General Bernard Montgomery
I wouldn't call it a fuss, Prime Minister.
Winston Churchill
That's what I was told. "Major General Montgomery has been making a fuss," they said. I want to know why.
Major General Bernard Montgomery
See for yourself, sir. Static guns. What's the point of that? It's absurd to try and defend the coastline of England with guns in static positions. The Germans would bypass the whole lot of them as they did in France. What we need is mobility.
Winston Churchill
Might I remind you, that our Army vehicles are lying in heaps of charred wreckage on the beaches of Dunkirk.
Major General Bernard Montgomery
Buses. Plenty of buses in this country after all. My division should be given buses and transported rapidly to wherever they're needed. What we have here is worse than useless.
Winston Churchill
Your commanding officer seems perfectly satisfied with things as they are.
Major General Bernard Montgomery
Well, he's wrong.
Winston Churchill
He's wrong and you're right?
Major General Bernard Montgomery
Precisely so. And if he were here, I would tell him so to his face.
Winston Churchill
Very well. Buses you shall have. Now that matter's settled, we'll have lunch. And a drink. I'm sure you could do with a drink, Major-General.
Major General Bernard Montgomery
I neither drink nor smoke, and am 100% fit.
[sternly]
Winston Churchill
Well, I both drink and smoke, and I'm 200% fit.
[smiles]
