C – Christopher Tietjens


V – Valentine Wannop


M – Mrs. Wannop


E – Edward Wannop


 


--: Lord, I thought you were supposed to be clever. Because the French army is ten times the size of the British army! Because the war is being fought on French soil, not British soil! Because... Now look here, Tietjens. I took you for a sound man. This department exists to show that just as there are different ways to put things in words, there are different ways to put things in numbers!


C: I detest 1 and despise the work I am asked to do in the department, whose purpose seems to be to turn statistics into sophistry 2. I am resigning. Good morning.


--: Resigning? Don't you want to be a man of influence?


C: No. I'd prefer to be in the trenches 3.


M: Oh, God, give me the strength to strangle the Kaiser with my bare hands.


E: You innocent! It's the soldiers who betrayed the cause.


M: You are talking rubbish!


E: Class traitors 4! And the German socialists 5 too!


M: I can't listen to this...


E: Voting for war like lickspittle lackeys 6.


V: Stop it! Stop it!


E: I hope they die with blood spouting 7 out of their lungs.


V: I thought you were a pacifist!


E: Yes, I refuse to fight, but let the guilty get what they deserve!


M: You are nothing but a lily-livered coward...
