Blackadder Goes Forth1989

Private Baldrick:
Permission to ask a question, sir...

Captain Blackadder:
Permission granted, Baldrick, as long as isn't the one about where babies come from.

Private Baldrick:
No, the thing is: The way I see it, these days there's a war on, right? And, ages ago, there wasn't a war on, right? So, there must have been a moment when there not being a war on went away, right? And there being a war on came along. So, what I want to know is: How did we get from the one case of affairs to the other case of affairs?

Captain Blackadder:
Do you mean, "how did the war start?"

[Baldrick thinks for a moment]

Private Baldrick:
Yeah!
