The Tunnel (1940)

Charles Williams: Evans

Quotes 

• Evans : Listen, Sir John. We heard you say that tomorrow we may be at war. In that case, you know the risks that will have to be faced in the trenches, in the sky, on the sea - aye, and by our women and children in their homes. Coal in wartime is as much a part of our national defense as guns or anything else. So why not let us take our chance down the pit?

• Evans : Well, sir, we chaps work down that pit, as our fathers did before us. And we want to go on working. That's all, Sir John.
