Up a Tree

Up a Tree is the name of a Memory in Act I of We Happy Few.

Location[]

In the Victory Memorial Camp, next to the entrance to the dump.

Arthur, aware of the plan to send him and other children below 13 to Germany, argues about it with his father while stuck up a tree.

Mr. Hastings: "Arthur! Arthur!"

Mr. Hastings: "You get down from that tree before I chop it down!"

Arthur: "Do you know why they're registering us?"

Mr. Hastings: "The Germans love their lists, that's all!"

Arthur: "They're taking us away, on a train, to Germany!"

Arthur: "You know about it, don't you?"

Mr. Hastings: "Who told you that? It's ridiculous!"

Arthur: "Oh you all know about it! Just not the kids!"

Mr. Hastings: "Look! They got cows there! It's not gonna be powdered milk. They might even have chocolate."

Arthur: "Oh! Chocolate makes it all better!"

Mr. Hastings: "They got tanks, Arthur. Haven't you noticed? How are we supposed to argue with tanks?"

Arthur: "I don't want to go to Germany"

Mr. Hastings: "It's only for a little while. I think."

Arthur: "I don't want to be a hostage."

Mr. Hastings: "Calm down! Please have some tea."

Arthur: "All right... I'll come down."

...

Arthur: "Er... I think I might be stuck, actually."
