1* After Bromhead complains about how cowardly black soldiers are:
2-->'''Ardendorff:''' And who the hell do you think is coming to wipe out your little command? The Grenadier Guards?
3* The typical StiffUpperLip attitude of the officers translates well into snarking:
4-->'''Chard:''' I don't think so, the army doesn't like more than one disaster a day.\
5'''Bromhead:''' Looks bad in the newspapers and upsets civilians at their breakfast.
6* When Sergeant Bourne calls the roll near the end of the film.
7--> '''Bourne''': Hitch... Hitch, I saw you, you're alive.
8--> '''Hitch''': I am? Oh, thanks very much.
9** And in response to a previous glib reply:
10---> '''Bourne''': No comedians, please.
11* Near the beginning, while Chard is working on his bridge, he ends up having to jump into the river in full uniform to save a section of the bridge that is drifting away. His men start to laugh at the sight of their commanding officer floundering the water. Chard shouts to Corporal Allen to get the men in the water. So he pushes them in.
12-->'''Allen:''' "You heard that officer of engineers."
13* During the epilogue revealing the merits that the battle's survivors received, there's a bit of MoodWhiplash as Hook carves his name in a post and spits.
14* Private Thomas's greatest concern is the welfare of the resident cow.
