Location[]

Percy wonders why Uncle Henry hasn't returned after Great Britain surrendered to Germany; Arthur struggles to answer.

Percy: "When is Uncle Henry coming back?"

Arthur: "I don't know."

Percy: "But we surrendered."

Arthur: "We did. Look, Dad won't talk about it. Maybe they drafted him."

Percy: "Can they do that?"

Arthur: "Who's going to stop them?"

Percy: "I can't hear you."

Arthur: "The Germans can do whatever they want. Until someone stops them. The Russians, for example."

Percy: "So why... So... So when is he ... So when is he coming back?"

Arthur: "I don't know, Percy. I don't know!"

Arthur: "The Germans don't explain things. They just give orders."

Percy: "Why?"

Arthur: "Well, Because... Because I don't know why. I'm sort of worried that he might have volunteered."

Percy: "I don't understand."

Arthur: "Probably for the best."
