1	* After the English (Colin) and German (Peter) soldiers meet in no-man's-land, Colin tries to compliment Peter's English:
2	--> '''Colin:''' You speak good English.
3	--> '''Peter:''' I speak English well.
4	** From the same scene, after a coin flip: "I see the face of my Kaiser. He is not pleased with me right now."
5	** Also, the response Peter gets when he asks for more wire cutters - his comrades casually throw them into No Man's Land without a word.
6	** In the play version, they don't even speak a common language, so they stumble and pantomime through the scene, which is capped off with the allied soldier proclaiming ([[LargeHam quite passionately]]) that: "There would be a lot less cryin' widows in the world if blokes would just talk to each other like you and I have!" The german soldier is very confused, and simply extends his hand and gives his name as Manfred. To which the allied soldier responds: "Same to you!"
7	* The comparison between Italian food and Italian women.
8	* The French girl trying to teach Joey to leap.
9	** In the play, her acting like a {{Drill Sergeant Nasty}} to an actual German soldier.
10	* The goose trying to get in the house at every opportunity. And also chasing the Landlord out the gate.
11	* The English and Germans in their respective trenches - both sides trying to call Joey to them [[spoiler:before they realize he is tangled up in barbed wire]].
12	---> '''English soldier''': How do you call a horse?
13	---> '''Another English soldier''': begins clicking his tongue
14	---> '''Entire English line''': begin clicking their tongues
15	---> '''German soldiers''': look at each other in confusion
16	---> '''Entire German line''': begin whistling
17	* Albert trying to impress a pretty girl riding in the car driven by his landlord's son. He and Joey manage to outrace them but when Albert tries to get him to jump over a stone wall, Joey stops short and Albert falls off. He looks up at Joey and says resignedly "Well, you're clearly not going to be a jumper."
18	* Lt. Waverly being proud of his new silk cap:
19	-->'''Lt. Waverly:''' ''(admiring himself in the mirror)'' Silk lining. I quite like it.
20	-->'''Capt Nicholls:''' I'm not sure it's going to make a lot of difference to the Germans.
21	-->'''Waverly:''' Oh, I don't know about that. Think about it. You're a Boche, just working out which of two chaps to shoot and you thought - "Good Lord - one of them really is wearing a very stylish cap indeed!" You might shoot the other one instead.
22	-->'''Capt Nicholls:''' Or, alternatively, think - "I fancy that cap" and kill you first of all.\
