A scene from The African Queen 1952
Charlie

So far so good. Here we are safe and sound, as you might say. The question is, 'What next?'

Rose

Quite.

Charlie

We've got heaps of grubs here, Miss. We're all right as far as that goes. 2,000 cigarettes, 2 cases of gin. Ha, ha. We could stay here for months if we wanted to. It's not a bad place to sit out a war...All the comforts of home including running water.

Rose

We simply can't remain here in this backwater until the war is over, Mr. Allnut.

Charlie

Can't we, Miss? You got the map. Show me a way out and I'll take it.

Rose

The British will certainly launch an attack. The only question is which way will they come.
