Capt. George Mainwaring Quotes

Season 6 / Episode 4: - We Knows Our Onions

Capt. George Mainwaring: [when Jones volunteered to be thrown over the fence] That's the spirit! I like to see some guts!
Sgt. Arthur Wilson: And you probably will...

Season 3 / Episode 11: - Branded

Pte. Charles Godfrey: I went into the larder to get the milk, then I saw something that made me realise that I just couldn't carry on.
Capt. George Mainwaring: What on earth was it?
Pte. Charles Godfrey: A mouse.
Capt. George Mainwaring: A mouse?
Pte. Charles Godfrey: Yes, you see in the larder was a great big, empty pudding basin - a mouse had fallen inside, and it was running round and round trying to get out. I know I ought to kill it because we're overrun with mice, so I got hold of it, and as I held it in my hand, I could feel it's little heart beating under it's fur - and I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
Capt. George Mainwaring: So, what did you do?
Pte. Charles Godfrey: I took it into the garden and let it go.
Capt. George Mainwaring: Look, Godfrey, I still don't see what this has got to do with you wanting to leave the platoon?
Pte. Charles Godfrey: Don't you understand, sir? If I couldn't bring myself to kill that mouse, how could I ever kill a German?
