Oblivious to the offence he is 原因（となる）ing, he tells Polly the waitress, played by his co-writer and then-wife Connie Booth: 'Don't について言及する the war. I について言及するd it once but I think I got away with it all 権利.'
He 言及するs to the guests' food order as 'orders which must be obeyed at all times without question', and repeats their meal request as a 'prawn Goebbels, a Hermann Goering and four Colditz salads'.

No German has ever complained to me about that because they are what I call grown-ups. They can take a joke.
'It's also やめる （疑いを）晴らす that the people in that episode were only very young children at the time that Hitler took 力／強力にする. It's a 全く decent German family. I have always been rather プロの／賛成の-German. If I have a choice between the Germans and the French, I will always choose the Germans.'
