FRIEDRICH:
Friedrich Braun speaking.
ADOLF:
Friedrich mate, it's me, Adolf!
FRIEDRICH:
Well, now this IS a surprise! I thought you'd be busy losing the war?
ADOLF:
Oh you know me; I can always find time for my papa-in-law!
FRIEDRICH:
Papa-in-law? What; have you and Eva got wed?
ADOLF:
No, but we'd like to. With your permission, of course!
FRIEDRICH:
Now, what sort of man would stop ADOLF HITLER marrying his daughter, eh?
ADOLF:
A sensible one.
FRIEDRICH:
(LAUGHS) Oh, that's quality! But seriously, I can't see why I shouldn't give you both my blessing, can you?
ADOLF:
Well, you would be handing her a death sentence.
FRIEDRICH LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY.
(CONT'D)
No seriously, we've got cyanide on stand by; and a shotgun for back up!
FRIEDRICH:
(LAUGHS) You're the Fuhrer of comedy, you know that? So, when is the big day?
ADOLF:
Today.
FRIEDRICH:
Oh, you're joking? Listen, you couldn't put it back twenty-four hours, could you?
ADOLF:
I would, but unfortunately tomorrow's VE-day.
FRIEDRICH:
Oh, is it? Actually, thinking about it; tomorrow's not too great for us either. You see, we don't really like travelling on the Sabbath!
