Quotes:

Milligan, Reporter in Fleet Street Pub: This is the man in the street, Frank, the average man. And he's asking you a question the average man in the street wants answering. World war over Danzig?::"Man-in-the-Street" in Fleet Street Pub: That's right. As you say, Danzig's only a small place.::Frank Lockwood: So was Thermopylae. And Verdun. And Madrid. All very small places. Big enough to bury the people that hadn't the guts to fight for them. Did you ever hear Hitler laugh? [Man shakes head] I did. I was in Vienna when he entered the city in triumph. "Providence has sent me here to save you," he bellowed to the mob of his followers. "And Heaven help all those that have been against me." And then he laughed. It's a kind of mad laugh. And they all laughed too, in the same way. They were baying for blood. Hitler was giving it to them. We're in this for our own sweet selves. If we want to save our skins we've got to fight.
