Well, the less I know about it, the better. And, just as a matter of interest, might I be...

Lt. Col. Huxley:

[the prisoners are discussing the corpse of a man discovered in an escape tunnel]
Obviously we must report this to the Italians at once. Lt. Col. David Baird, M.C.:
Report it, aye, but do you have to tell them where you found him? Lt. Col. Huxley:
Yes, of course we do. Their doctors will prove he died under a fall of sand. That means only one thing - a tunnel. Lt. Col. David Baird, M.C.:
Well just for the record, if you tell 'em the truth, you'll be making them a present of the only tunnel in this camp with a real chance. Lt. Col. Huxley:
What alternative do you suggest? Lt. Col. David Baird, M.C.:
Put him in another tunnel. An abandoned one. And then report it. Lt. Col. Huxley:
You mean fake a fall in another tunnel? Lt. Col. David Baird, M.C.:
Well, it happens easily enough by accident. It shouldn't be difficult to do it on purpose. Lt. Col. Huxley:
That might not be the end of the matter, you realise that? Lt. Col. David Baird, M.C.:
Well I'm still for it, sir. Lt. Col. Huxley:
Alright. Who'll do it? Capt. Roger Byfold:
I will, sir. Lt. Col. Huxley:
Well, the less I know about it, the better. And, just as a matter of interest, might I be allowed to know where this abandoned tunnel starts? [Baird looks at the floor below Huxley's feet, indicating that Huxley is standing on it]
