- "With or without a parachute?" CMOF because an American is doing British Humour unintentionally, in a time when cultural awareness was far less than what it is today.
- Shears believes he is going to be able to finagle a trip home, bragging to Warden about how he plans to turn his impersonating an officer into a medical discharge. And then Warden reveals that the British and American military have known what Shears was up to all along... and they're going to blackmail Shears into "volunteering" for the mission to blow up the bridge. Shears' reaction when Warden shows him the file, then his expression when he realizes the Army has him by the balls are priceless.
