Collin: You speak good English.
Peter: I speak English well.
- From the same scene, after a coin flip: "I see the face of my Kaiser. He is not pleased with me right now."
- Also, the response Peter gets when he asks for more wire cutters.
- In the play version, they don't even speak a common language, so they stumble and pantomime through the scene, which is capped off with the allied soldier proclaiming (quite passionately) that: "There would be a lot less cryin' widows in the world if blokes would just talk to each other like you and I have!" The german soldier is very confused, and simply extends his hand and gives his name as Manfred. To which the allied soldier responds: "Same to you!"
- The comparison between Italian food and Italian women.
- The French girl trying to teach Joey to leap.
- In the play, her acting like a Drill Sergeant Nasty to an actual German soldier.
- The goose trying to get in the house at every opportunity.
- The English and Germans in their respective trenches - both sides trying to call Joey to them before they realize he is tangled up in barbed wire.
