Taken from a book about the barnstormers:
Towards the beginning of the 'thirties, competition between airshow men was getting fiercer and profits less. One airshow owner sent off his pilots with strict instructions to keep any cables/telegrams short in order to save money. A week after their departure, a minimum-length, ten-word cable arrived at HQ: SWEDE SWUNG PROP PROP KILLED SWEDE SEND NEW PROP ENDS.

Mine is from "Stalag 17" where Sefton (William Holden) gives advice to Animal on how to deal with the German guards: "Get yourself a hundred cigarettes for the Kraut guards. Then get yourself another face"

TMMFM (not going to type the full title)
"Nothing is impossible for the Fatherland!" "Your so charming,whats your name?" Got this from Young Indy Jones.I think it went... MVR:"My brother Lothar managed to come home,his feathers a little ruffled". (The men laugh as Lothar clasps his hands and looks around a bit embarrassed)

Anthony Hopkins playing Colonel Johnny Frost of the 6th Airborne's 2nd parachute battalion in the movie 'A Bridge Too Far' (1977):-
Frost (knocking on the door of a house in Arnhem and when a middle-aged civilian opens it) "Ah, look here. I'm awfully sorry but I'm afraid we're going to have to occupy your house..." Pete.
