Bourvil: Mayor of Colleville
Quotes
-
Mayor of Colleville : [meeting the British on the beach] Welcome; welcome, friends. I brought champagne, but I do not now think it will be enough for all of you.
Lord Lovat : Quite all right. We have a previous engagement - the war. Move inland.
[to his bagpiper]
Lord Lovat : Millen, "Blue Bonnet"!
[as British troops march inland to the bagpipe playing of Millen, the mayor of Colleville raises his champagne bottle in salute, which earns the bemused observation of Clough and Flanagan]
Pvt. Clough : [to Flanagan] If you ask me, Flanagan, there are a lot of pretty peculiar blokes on this beach.
