Maj. Baker Quotes in The Guns of Navarone (1961)

Maj. Baker: What's going on here, what are you doing to that man?

Major Franklin: You know him?

Maj. Baker: Of course, that's Nikolai, our laundry boy. Is he the reason I'm being disturbed? Look, Franklin, I've had a hard day!

Major Franklin: Does his job involve listening at keyholes?

Maj. Baker: It's just a case of idle curiosity, he doesn't speak a word of english!

Major Franklin: Then why was he listening, why does he carry a knife, and why did he try to stab this man?

Maj. Baker: I presume he was trying to defend himself, when you've been in this part of the world as long as I you'll know carrying a knife doesn't mark one as a criminal!

Major Franklin: Pappadimos, have you got your silencer?

Pvt. Spyros Pappadimos: Yes.

Major Franklin: Then use it. Shoot the laundry boy.

Maj. Baker: Are you crazy?

Major Franklin: And if the Major gets in your way, shoot him too. That's an order.
