Quotes

A Cuckoo in the Nest

Mrs. Bone: You seem very experienced.
Maj. Bone: No, just an ordinary public school education.

Maj. Bone: Is this it?
Pinhorn: No, we took the wrong road.
Maj. Bone: What do you mean, WE took the wrong road? I haven't taken it have I?
Pinhorn: That's simply a matter of figure of speech.

Landlord: Well, I'll have a look at her.
Maj. Bone: Oh, I wouldn't do that--she looks awful!

Mrs. Spoker: I guess there is a bit of soup left over.
Peter Wyckham: Left over from what?

Landlord: It's getting pretty late isn't it?
Maj. Bone: I don't wanna know what time it is.

Marguerite Hickett: So, you think I'm that kind of woman, do you? You poisonous-minded old witch.

Maj. Bone: Well, I'd like some of that too.
Landlord: Some of what?
Maj. Bone: Some of what you've been drinking.

Maj. Bone: Oh, nonsense, Constance.

Maj. Bone: You should have thought of that before it happened.
Peter Wyckham: How could I have thought of it before it happened when it hasn't happened?

Landlord: Well, how far is it?
Maj. Bone: Well, how do I know? If I knew how far it was, I'd know the name of the place, wouldn't I?
Landlord: Not necessarily.
Maj. Bone: What?
Landlord: Not necessarily. Now take China, for instance.
Maj. Bone: What's wrong with China?
Landlord: You know where China is, but you don't know how far it is, not strictly speaking.
