[Bolton and Winnant are having a heated discussion about the evacuation]

Captain Winnant:
They need to send more ships. Every hour, the enemy pushes closer.
Commander Bolton:
They've activated the small vessels pool.
Captain Winnant:
Small vessels?
Commander Bolton:
It's a list of civilian boats for requisition.
Captain Winnant:
Civilian? We need destroyers...!
Commander Bolton:
Small boats can load from the beach.
Captain Winnant:
Not in these conditions!
Commander Bolton:
Well, I'd rather fight waves than dive-bombers.
Captain Winnant:
[Beat]
No, you're right. They won't get up in this. The Royal Engineers are building piers from lorries. At least that should help us when the tide comes back.
Commander Bolton:
Well, we'll know in six hour's time.
Captain Winnant:
I thought the tides were every three?
Commander Bolton:
Then it's good that you're army and I'm navy, isn't it.

You can practically...
Seeing home doesn't help us
get there, Colonel.
They need to send more ships.
Every hour the enemy pushes closer.
They've activated the small vessels pool.
Small vessels?
It's the list of civilian boats
for requisition.
Civilian?
We need destroyers.
Small boats can load from the beach.
Not in these conditions.
Well, I'd rather face waves
than dive bombers.
No, you're right. They won't get up in this.
The Royal Engineers are building piers
from lorries.
At least that should help us
when the tide comes back.
Well, we'll know in six hours' time.
I thought the tides were every three?
Then it's good that you're army
and I'm navy, isn't it?
There. Vanquisher.
Where's the crew?
Probably got spooked after they ran aground.
Scarpered up the beach.
Why?
'Cause we're outside the perimeter.
Enemy could be right there.
All right, best shut ourselves inside, boys.
Wait for the high tide.
How long's that?
Every three hours.
I've put a bit of pressure on it.
Strapped him up, made him comfortable.
What?
