'Pimpernel' Smith1941

General von Graum:
But we have one problem. "To be or not to be?" as our great German poet said.

Professor Horatio Smith:
German? But that's Shakespeare.

Professor Horatio Smith:
But you don't know?

Professor Horatio Smith:
Why, I know it's Shakespeare. I thought Shakespeare was English.

General von Graum:
No, no, no. Shakespeare is a German. Professor Schuessbacher has proved it once and for all.

Professor Horatio Smith:
Dear, how very upsetting. Still, you must admit that the English translations are most remarkable.

General von Graum:
Good night.

Professor Horatio Smith:
Good night. Good night. "Parting is such sweet sorrow."

General von Graum:
What is that?

Professor Horatio Smith:
That's one of the most famous lines in German literature.
