Pte. Frank Pike
- U-Boat Captain: I am making notes, Captain, and when we win the war, you will be brought to account
- Mainwaring: You can write what you like. You're not going to win this war.
- U-Boat Captain: Oh, yes we are!
- Mainwaring: Oh no you're not!
- U-Boat Captain: Oh yes we are!
- Pike: [sings] Whistle while you work / Hitler is a twerp / He's half barmy, so's his army / Whistle while you work.
- U-Boat Captain: [pointing at Pike] Your name will also go on zee list. What is it?
- Mainwaring: Don't tell him, Pike!
- U-Boat Captain: Pike.
- Mainwaring: [the platoon is holding a U-boat crew as prisoners. Pike is covering them from the top of a ladder, holding a tommy gun. Mainwaring addresses them] Now pay attention.
- [the Germans snap smartly to attention]
- Wilson: Oh I say, they're awfully well-disciplined, aren't they, sir?
- Mainwaring: Nothing of the sort. It's slavish, blind obedience. Not like the cheerful discipline of our own jolly jack tars. I tell you Wilson, they're a nation of automatons, led a lunatic who looks like Charlie Chaplin.
- U-Boat Captain: How dare you compare our glorious leader with that non-Aryan clown!
- Mainwaring: Now look here...
- U-Boat Captain: [Takes out pencil and notebook] I am making notes Captain. And your name... will go on the list. And when we win he war, you will be brought to account.
- Mainwaring: Write what you like, you're not going to win this war.
- U-Boat Captain: Oh, yes we are.
- Mainwaring: Oh, no you're not!
- U-Boat Captain: Oh, yes we are!
- Pike: [singing and laughing] Whistle while you work, Hitler is a twerp, he's half-barmy, so's his army, whistle while you...
- U-Boat Captain: [Points pencil at Pike. The words die on Pike's lips] Your name will also go on the list. What is it?
- Mainwaring: Don't tell him, Pike!
- U-Boat Captain: 'Pike', thank you.
- [Writes Pike's name. Pike now looks distressed]
