• Mallory : [inside the Partisans' cave Mallory wants to talk to Petrovitch alone to tell him he needs to kill Nikolai]  May I talk to you personally, sir?

  Maj. Petrovitch : You are talking to me personally.

  Mallory : No I mean alone.

  Maj. Petrovitch : No. The People's army does not conduct military business in secret.

• Mallory : [with Lescovar standing next to Major Petrovitch]  I was sent here to identify a German agent, code name "Nicolai." We are reliably informed that he has infiltrated the People's Resistance Army, and is now known as Capt. Lescovar.

  Maj. Petrovitch : And having identified this man, what were your further orders?

  Mallory : I was to eliminate him, sir.

  Maj. Petrovitch : Eliminate? Don't you mean kill?

  Mallory : Yes, sir. I do mean kill.

  Maj. Petrovitch : [to Lescovar]  Do you hear that, Lescovar? The gentlemen from London want us to shoot you.

  [Bursts out laghing] 

  Maj. Petrovitch : I'm sorry, major. I must admit you are indeed partly right. There was an agent named Nicolai... operating somewhere south of here and also calling himself Lescovar. But he was identified many months ago. And eliminated. The British were informed.

  Mallory : But London were very specific, sir

  Maj. Petrovitch : Yes, they frequently are specific... and just as frequently wrong!

  [to Marko] 

  Maj. Petrovitch : Lt. Marko, see that these gentlemen... give you a full report on their activities in the Chetnik camp. A specific report.
