Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Some of the French officers are very unhappy at having to work with British intelligence; one grumbles about Fashoda or how Britain took Canada from France.

comment
The Operators Must Be Crazy: Babette gets a brief stint as a phone operator, only to mess things up hilariously as she crosses the wires, resulting in one officer trying to schedule a date with a squeeze and sweet-talking a higher-up instead.
