Yeah. A guy could get killed round here. Bert Thomas:
Duck! Cockney Soldier:
Don't be afraid - this one will pass over. See? Takes time it do, but you'll get the 'ang of it. [another shell whistles] Cockney Soldier:
Duck again! Cockney Soldier:
If that was shrapnel now, we wouldn't be flopping at all. Cockney Soldier:
We only flop when... [notices Bert has been hit] 'Pusher' Ross:
