[Listening to the German bombardment] Don't worry. They're not going to waste bombs on a WAAF camp.
Prudence Cathaway: Why not?
Clive Briggs: My girl, don't you realize that a big bomb costs a thousand pounds? We could go around the world on the price of one bomb!
Prudence Cathaway: Why not?
Clive Briggs: My girl, don't you realize that a big bomb costs a thousand pounds? We could go around the world on the price of one bomb!
