Dunkirk Quote
[Bolton and Winnant are having a heated discussion about the evacuation] Captain Winnant: They need to send more ships. Every hour, the enemy pushes closer.
Commander Bolton: They've activated the small vessels pool.
Captain Winnant: Small vessels?
Commander Bolton: It's a list of civilian boats for requisition.
Captain Winnant: Civilian? We need destroyers...!
Commander Bolton: Small boats can load from the beach.
Captain Winnant: Not in these conditions!
Commander Bolton: Well, I'd rather fight waves than dive-bombers.
Captain Winnant: [Beat]No, you're right. They won't get up in this. The Royal Engineers are building piers from lorries. At least that should help us when the tide comes back.
Commander Bolton: Well, we'll know in six hour's time.
Captain Winnant: I thought the tides were every three?
Commander Bolton: Then it's good that you're army and I'm navy, isn't it.
