How dare you question

my authority in front of the men?

Well, I just don't want

anyone catching a cold.

You know what frank's like.

Are we nearly there yet?

As you were, pike.

You're trying to undermine me,

usurp my position.

I'm really doing

nothing of the kind.

Hurry up.

Godfrey's gotta go.

Yes, well,

it won't work, you know.

These pips say it all.

You waft along with that

superior look on your face.

No backbone,

that's your trouble.

Well, I'm not sure

that's entirely fair.

Really? Well, here's

your chance to prove it.

You're our Nazi for the day.

- Really?

- Auf wiedersehen, Mr. Wilson.

Very good, men.

Breaking up the outline.

You're not taking this seriously,

are you, Walker?

How'd you know it was me?

No, thank you, pike.

Ah!

You put some

thought into this, Jones.

Thank you, captain.

Mrs. fox lent it me

from last year's production of Robin hood.

I'm a tiny bit

of Sherwood forest.

Ah...

Godfrey?

You look like

you're on a cruise to the south seas.

Thank you so much, sir.

That's very kind of you.

I got the idea from a picture

i saw last week, south of pago pago.

I thought it was

rather open air.

Take it off.

Captain, might I be excused, please?

Certainly not.

Now, listen, men.

Sergeant Wilson's mission

is to reach our flag undetected.

So, we all need

to keep our eyes peeled at all times.

Listen! Something's coming.

If I know Wilson,

he'll have charmed his way into a lift.

Conceal yourselves, men.

Wait for my signal.

Oh.

What's up, Mr. Godfrey?

Ah...

Oh...

Good lord.

At the double, men!

Halt, Nazi spy, or get all shot.

Madam, I'm most terribly sorry.

I thought I saw a tree move.

I had to, captain.

Mr. Godfrey wanted to

use me as a convenience.

I'm afraid my call of nature

called rather loudly.

I fear we mistook you

for a Nazi spy.

Yes, thank you, Walker.

Miss winters,

associated press.

Captain mainwaring,

walmington home guard.

What a coincidence.

I'm doing an article

on the home guard of walmington-on-sea.

For the lady magazine.

Us? In a real magazine?

We're going up

in the world, lads.

Well, you come

highly recommended.

Yes, well,

i certainly like to think

we'd give Jerry

a run for his money.

You've joined us in mid-operation.

We're on the lookout for a spy.

But don't worry,

we'll catch him.

Not much gets past us,

i can tell you.

Uh...

You're nasty.

Would you like a stab?

Permission to speak, sir.

-What is it, Jones?

-Well, this bag.

It doesn't exactly

bring my blood to the boil.

Well, I could stand

behind if you like. I speak a little German.

Is that true, Godfrey?

Shall have to keep an eye on him.

Yes, one of my

nannies was from leipzig.
