[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?
