Percy: "But why do the Germans want children?"
Arthur: "I don't know."
Percy: "Where are they taking them?"
Arthur: "I don't know. They won't say."
Percy: "When are they coming back?"
Arthur: "No one knows, they won't say!"
Percy: "Why won't they say?"
Arthur: "Shut it, Percy, just shut it! ... Sorry. Till the war's over, I guess. They're losing, I think."
Percy: "but the radio... but the radio keeps talking about victories."
Arthur: "Yes. But the victories keep getting closer to Berlin."
Percy: "I can't hear you."
Arthur: "They keep winning, but they're then going backwards."
Percy: "That doesn't make sense."
Arthur: "It does if they're lying."
Percy: "Oh. ... People shouldn't lie. It confuses everything."
Arthur: "Yes, yes it really does."
