“Well I scream at you, I’M NOT MARRYING YOU!” I said.

“Yeah and you say it haughtily,” he said. ‘Angrily.”

“Angrily? Are you kidding me? I am enraged. I am enraged with you.”

“And I am enraged with you. You think I don’t get enraged with you?”

“You’re enraged.”

“Yeah, it makes me think of General McAuliffe at Bastogne. The Germans sent him a note, they had him surrounded. In order to save human life – surrender, blah blah blah. He sent them a note back – NUTS! That is all he had to say to that and that is how you and me fight, P. Surrender, my asssssssss!”

“The German group didn’t understand the message initially: “Is the reply negative or affirmative? If it is the latter I will negotiate further.”

An American clarified it for him. “If you don’t know what ‘Nuts’ means, in plain English it is the same as ‘Go to Hell’. And I’ll tell you something else, if you continue to attack we will kill every goddamn German that tries to break into this city.”
