• 'Sahib' Carleton : Are you sure you're not hurt, my dear?

  Marmy Carleton : I don't think so, Sahib. I don't know how you're supposed to feel after a train wreck.

• 'Sahib' Carleton : If the old girl doesn't cough up something after all we've done for her, I shall lose my faith in human nature.

• 'Sahib' Carleton : If I were to say that the Wombat is the last word in mechanical perfection, I should be withholding the full truth. The Wombat is above mechanical perfection. The Wombat is ahead of it's time. As far ahead of it's time as was - well, Socrates, of his. A pretty thing, isn't it?

  Wombat Customer : Yes. Well, Lt. Carleton, I believe in you and I'd like to put in my order for three of them. One for myself. And one for my wife. And - one for my - well...

  'Sahib' Carleton : I understand, perfectly, sir. I shall deliver the third one to you personally at your Club.

• 'Sahib' Carleton : Permit me to say, ma'am, that you dance exquisitely.

  Miss Fortune : It is a beautiful dance, isn't it?

  'Sahib' Carleton : With you, ma'am, it's a poem.

• Richard Carleton : Oh, by the way, Sahib, where would you take a young lady to dine?

  'Sahib' Carleton : Savoy, by all means. Soundest cuisine in London. Savoy's the only place to dine a lady. Don't give it another thought.

  Richard Carleton : All right, Savoy it shall be. Oh, but, a couple of quid wouldn't see me through, would it? You couldn't lend me a fiver till next payday, could you?

  'Sahib' Carleton : Ahem, glad to, my boy, but I've always found that borrowing is unsound, both from a financial and a moral point of view. How much money will you get your next payday?

  Richard Carleton : Two pounds.

  'Sahib' Carleton : And from that you expect to pay me back five? Ha. You must see there's no future in such a course of action. Neither a borrower nor a lender be! Why don't you take the lady to the zoo?
