Corporal Miller: Sir, I've inspected this boat, and I think you ought to know that I can't swim.
Sessler: Where are the explosives? I want an answer now, otherwise I shall personally rearrange this officer's splints.
Maria Pappadimos: They're burning Mandrakos in punishment.
Mallory: The only way to win a war is to be as nasty as the enemy.
Corporal Miller: Sir, I've inspected this boat, and I think you ought to know that I can't swim.
Maria Pappadimos: They're burning Mandrakos in punishment.
Mallory: The only way to win a war is to be as nasty as the enemy.
Sessler: Where are the explosives? I want an answer now, otherwise I shall personally rearrange this officer's splints.
Mallory: Can you do anything at all? Corporal Miller: I don't know. There's always a way to blow up explosives. The trick is not to be around when they go off. But aren't you forgetting something? The lady. As I see it we have three choices. One we can leave her here but there's no guarantee she won't be found, and in her case they won't need a truth drug. Two, we can take her with us, but that would make things worse than they are already. And three... well, that's Andrea's choice, remember? Mallory: You really want your pound of flesh, don't you? Corporal Miller: Yes, I do. You see, somehow I just couldn't get to sleep. Mallory: Well, if you're so anxious to kill her, go ahead! Corporal Miller: I'm not anxious to kill her, I'm not anxious to kill anyone. You see, I'm not a born soldier. I was trapped. You may find me facetious from time to time, but if I didn't make some rather bad jokes I'd go out of my mind. No, I prefer to leave the killing to someone like you, an officer and a gentleman, a leader of men. Mallory: If you think I wanted this, any of this, you're out of your mind, I was trapped like you, just like anyone who put on the uniform! Corporal Miller: Of *course* you wanted it, you're an officer, aren't you? I never let them make *me* an officer! I don't want the responsibility! Mallory: So you've had a free ride, all this time! Someone's *got* to take responsibility if the job's going to get done! You think that's easy? Corporal Miller: I don't know! I'm not even sure who really is responsible any more.
Corporal Miller: To tell you the truth, I didn't think we could do it. Capt. Keith Mallory: To tell you the truth, neither did I.
Mallory: He's going to kill me when the war's over. Major Franklin: You're not serious. Mallory: Yes, I am. So is he. Mallory: About a year ago, I gave a German patrol a safe passage to get some of their wounded into hospital. I guess I still had some romantic notions about fighting a civilized war. Anyway, they wanted Andrea pretty badly, even back then. As soon as they got behind our lines, they shot their casualties, went over to his house, and blew it up. He was out on a job at the time, but his wife and three children were in the house. They were all killed. I helped him to bury them. And then he turned to me and said that as far as he was concerned, it wasn't the Germans who were responsible, but me. Me and my stupid Anglo-Saxon decency. Then he told me what he was going to do, and when. Major Franklin: You think he still means to do it? Mallory: He's from Crete. Those people don't make idle threats.
Major Franklin: Pappadimos, have you got your silencer? Pvt. Spyros Pappadimos: Yes. Major Franklin: Then use it. Shoot the laundry boy. Maj. Baker: Are you crazy? Major Franklin: And if the Major gets in your way, shoot him too. That's an order.
Mallory: You think you've been getting away with it all this time, standing by. Well, son... your bystanding days are over! You're in it now, up to your neck! They told me that you're a genius with explosives. Start proving it! Mallory: You got me in the mood to use this thing, and by God, if you don't think of something, I'll use it on you! I mean it.
Cohn: Do you think they've got any chance at all, sir? Commodore Jensen: Frankly, no. Not a chance in the world. I should be very surprised if they get even halfway to Navarone. Just a waste of six good men. However, I suppose that doesn't matter, considering how many have been wasted already. I'm glad it's not my decision; I'm only the middleman... Still, they may get there, and they may pull it off. Anything can happen in a war. Slap in the middle of absolute insanity people pull out the most extraordinary resources: ingenuity, courage, self-sacrifice. Pity we can't meet the problems of peace in the same way, isn't it? It would be so much cheaper for everybody. Cohn: I never thought of it in just that way, sir. You're a philosopher, sir. Commodore Jensen: No. I'm just the man who has to send people out on jobs like this one.
Corporal Miller: Everybody stay exactly where you are! The party's over. Somebody stepped on the cake! Corporal Miller: Exhibit A: a clockwork fuse. Elementary and archaic, but they work. Only this one doesn't work, you know why? The clock's okay, but the contact arm's been broken off. This clock could tick away until Christmas, and it wouldn't set off a firecracker! Corporal Miller: Exhibit B: Exhibit B is missing! All my slow-burning fuses are gone, disappeared, vanished! Exhibit C: my time pencils. Corporal Miller: Seventy-five grains of fulminate of mercury in every one of them, enough to blow off my hand. And very unstable, very delicate. Corporal Miller: Which means there is a traitor in this room.
Mallory: Are you sure it will work? Corporal Miller: There's no guarantee, but the theory's perfectly feasible.
Corporal Miller: What are you doing, friend? Checking for dust? Col. Andrea Stavros: No, friend, microphones. Corporal Miller: This is the British Army post, man! Don't you trust anybody? Col. Andrea Stavros: No! That is why I have lived so long.
Corporal Miller: Well, right now I say to hell with the job! I've been on a hundred jobs and not one of them's altered the course of the war! I don't care about the war anymore, I care about Roy! Capt. Keith Mallory: And if Turkey comes into the war on the wrong side? Corporal Miller: So what? Let the whole bloody world come in and blow itself to pieces, that's what it deserves!
Squadron Leader Howard Barnsby RAAF: BAD? It can't be done, not from the air, anyway! Commodore Jensen: You're quite sure of that, Squadron Leader? This is important. Squadron Leader Howard Barnsby RAAF: So's my life! To me, anyway, and the lives of these jokers here, and the eighteen men we lost tonight!
Mallory: Hold it. Mallory: We are going to leave Major Franklin behind. He is a wounded officer, I expect him to get proper medical attention. Muesel: We don't make war on wounded men. We aren't all like Hauptmann Sessler. Mallory: Now where's the camp radio station? Muesel: I will not tell you. Muesel: You wouldn't hesitate to kill me for any number of reasons, but not this one. In any event I will not tell you.
Col. Andrea Stavros: There is of course a third choice. One bullet now. Better for him, better for us. You take that man along,you endanger us all. Corporal Miller: Why don't we just drop him off the cliff and save a bullet? Capt. Keith Mallory: And why don't you shut up? Yes, there's a third choice. We'll make it if necessary, when it's necessary, and not before.
Capt. Keith Mallory: They told us Pappadimos was a man Maria Pappadimos: My father. He was taken two days ago. Col. Andrea Stavros: He was taken? Maria Pappadimos: He told them nothing. He will die first.
Major Franklin: No, I'm stupid sometimes. Even when I was a kid, I always took it for granted people wanted to play the games I like, and I'd be furious when they didn't. Capt. Keith Mallory: Well, now they have to, so why worry?
Mallory: Surprised? Col. Andrea Stavros: I did not think I would see you again so soon. Mallory: Did you think you'd have to come looking for me? Col. Andrea Stavros: When the time came, I would find you.
Commodore Jensen: Of course, he himself is ideal for the job. He's highly experienced and extremely capable - don't blush, Roy - and most of all, he's lucky. Aren't you lucky, Roy? Major Franklin: If you say so, sir. Commodore Jensen: I do, I do indeed. Wasn't it Napoleon who said, when somebody was up for promotion to general, "yes, yes, I know he's brilliant, but is he lucky?" The Emperor knew the value of luck, and our Roy seems to have it. Major Franklin: Then make me a general, sir. Commodore Jensen: Patience, my dear boy, patience.
Capt. Keith Mallory: And what about the two thousand men on Kheros? Corporal Miller: I don't know the man on Kheros! But I do know the man on Navarone! Col. Andrea Stavros: Mr. Miller, the man was finished when he fell. Corporal Miller: That's easy for you to say, sitting there, drinking coffee.
CPO 'Butcher' Brown: I'm tired and I'm fed up. I've been fighting this war a long time. I've been killing Germans since 1937. There's no end to them. Shoot a man at 200 yards, he's just a target. You kill him with a knife...... you're close enough to smell him. I smell them in my sleep. After the last time, I made a pact with myself: I'd do my job. But I wouldn't do the other anymore. Not if I could help it. Capt. Keith Mallory: And who gave you the right to make a private peace? You think you're the only one who's tired?
