"Survival's not fair."

what Collins says when Peter saved him. I'm smiling all the time at this scene (didn't quite remember what line it was in english, bc i watched it in the different language (only once in english) ... but i think it was "Afternoon".

... and then some people saying dunkirk has no humor

I loved Rylance's response. Adorable and almost childlike.
