--> '''Hugh''': Oh my god.

-->'''Alan Turing''': Indecorous? ''What does that even mean?''

-->'''Alan Turing''': Indecorous? ''What does that even mean???''

* Extra FridgeBrilliance for the below quote, which is genuinely funny in its own right; Ms Clarke can't join him at Bletchley because she would be working only with men, it would be "indecorous". Turing genuinely thinks it's something "normal" people understand, but [[ValuesDissonance we're as much in the dark as he is]]:

* The police inspector at the beginning of the story, who thinks he's got onto a spy scandal involving Soviet spies, gets congratulated by his colleagues when they find incredibly incriminating evidence about Alan Turing... [[DeliberateValuesDissonance being gay.]] The look on his face goes from "elation to cracking the biggest case ever" to "I am not putting this one on my resume" in the space of about a second.

* Hugh interrupts Turing and Clarke's code breaking picnic to give an idea that'd vastly improve Christopher's capabilities. In response to getting a "Turning" compliment for the progress, Hugh [[BrickJoke steals his lunch, reminding him that he doesn't like sandwiches]]. Naturally, it probably goes right over his head.

** Second, the cracking itself - while flirting, Helen casually mentions that she developed a bit of a relationship with the German operator whose messages she is relying, saying that it's a shame he's probably got a girlfriend, which gives Turing a EurekaMoment. He then derails the visibly annoyed Hugh's attempt to woo her by asking questions and then rushes to Christopher, spilling beer on Helen. And then we have Hugh himself, who in the span of a second goes from annoyance to realizing that Turing cracked the code, running right after him and leaving Helen alone.

* Alan's awkward CannotTellAJoke moment, when he tries telling the classic "outrunning a bear" joke but absolutely botches the delivery. The pause afterwards is priceless.

* The police inspector at the beginning of the story, who thinks he's got onto a spy scandal involving soviet spies, gets congratulated by his colleagues when they find incredibly incriminating evidence about Alan Turing... [[ValuesDissonance being gay.]] Since that offence was considered stupid and pointless even in the late 1800s and rarely enforced (Oscar Wilde was given every opportunity to avoid conviction, every one of which he strenuously ignored), the look on his face goes from "elation to cracking the biggest case ever" to "I am not putting this one on my resume" in the space of about a second.
