Blind Man: Well done, lads. Well done.
Alex: All we did is survive.
Blind Man: That's enough.
Commander Bolton: You can practically see it from here.
Captain Winnant: What?
Commander Bolton: Home.
Mr. Dawson: Men my age dictate this war. Why should we be allowed to send our children to fight it?
Collins: [pursued by a German fighter] He's on me.
Farrier: [turns to pursue said fighter] I'm on him.
Shivering Soldier: [Referring to George] Will, uh... Will he be all right? The boy.
Peter: [after a long pause] Yeah.
Peter: Careful! Careful down there!
Alex: [Alex looks up from George's body] He's dead, mate.
Peter: [Beat] So be bloody careful with him.
Tommy: Wars are not won by evacuation.
Commander Bolton: The tide's turning now.
Captain Winnant: How can you tell?
Commander Bolton: The bodies are coming back.
Captain Winnant: [Bolton is looking through his binoculars, seeing the civilian ships arrive] What do you see?
Commander Bolton: [smiling] Home.
Collins: Dunkirk's so far; why couldn't they load at Calais?
Radio Communication: The enemy had something to say about it.
Mr. Dawson: [On the Shivering Soldier] He's shell-shocked, George. He's not himself. He might never be himself again.
Commander Bolton: The enemy tanks have stopped.
Captain Winnant: Why? Why waste precious tanks when they can pick us off from the air like a fish in a barrel?
Commander Bolton: Well, I'd rather face waves than dive-bombers.
Alex: [about Gibson] He doesn't speak English. If he does, it's with an accent thicker than sauerkraut sauce.
Collins: [Upon being rescued by Peter] Afternoon.
Irate Soldier: Where's the bloody air force?
Tommy: How hard is it to find a dead Englishman on Dunkirk beach? He didn't kill anyone!
Commander Bolton: Seeing home doesn't help us get there, Captain.
