"[first lines] Newsreel Narrator: [voice-over] 1500 lucky diggers are poised to show Australian might in action and dispel any fears of a Japanese invasion. They're heading for the capital of New Britain, Rabaul. As soon as they've unpacked, they're off to the nearest beach. Is the surf as good as Bondi, fellas? And what better way to spend the day, than dancing on a tropical beach with some of our prettiest flowers. Pick one for me, mate. [the voice-over and scenes of dancing on a tropical beach are soon replaced by a statement on screen that reads: On January 23rd, 1942, the Japanese attacked Rabaul]"
"[last lines] Lorna Whyte: Don't you ever get up off your knees? Well, say something. Sister Berenice Twohill: [shocked by the survival of Lorna] You're dead. Lorna Whyte: Really? Ever seen a ghost smoke Craven A? Sister Berenice Twohill: How did you know I was here? Lorna Whyte: I wrote to Bishop Scharmach. Told you we'd both make it back. Sister Berenice Twohill: You never said that. Lorna Whyte: You must have been too busy praying to hear. Sister Berenice Twohill: [as she embraces her friend] Lorna. You're so pretty. Lorna Whyte: [as the friends walk the grounds of the convent] You still look like a holy roller. How can you live without lipstick? I felt naked for the entire war. Anyway, I happened to be in Sidney and I thought we might catch up. Maybe go to the pictures sometime? I hear A Street Car Named Desire is terrific. But... your Mother Superior wouldn't approve. Sister Berenice Twohill: No, I guess not. Lorna Whyte: Of course, I could buy the tickets, sneak you in when the lights went down, then no one would ever now. Sister Berenice Twohill: I'm really glad that you came. Who ever thought I'd miss a Protestant. Lorna Whyte: Or that I'd have a nun for a mate."
