We've applied for replacements through the usual channels, Sir.

And?

Well, the usual channels appear to be clogged.

Are they? Well, We'll ruddy well unclog 'em!

Mr Blake!

Blake:
Yes, Sir?

Where can I buy a Spitfire?

Great, so now we carry a passenger in the driving seat!

Fine! We'll send Goring a telegram, and ask him not to come over for three months!

Legs or no legs, I've never seen such a mobile fireball.
