- Einer, ein Schauspieler mit einem Gesicht, als sei ihm alles eins, kehrte um, stellte sich nochmals vor den Stabsarzt hin und sagte laut, mit sorgfältiger Aussprache: „Ich möchte noch hinzufügen, daß ich homosexuell bin.“ Der Stabsarzt wich zurück, er war ganz rot. Stimmlos sagte er: „Solche Schweine können wir allerdings nicht brauchen.“
- One man, an actor with a face as if he couldn't care less, turned around, placed himself in front of the staff surgeon again and said, carefully articulated: "I want to add that I'm homosexual."
