"You can grab the bottle on the left closet."
"The bottle? There are several bottles here, sir."
"Don't sir me, now, Joachim. Just grab one of them."
"Okay. Glasses?"
"Somewhere in there there must be two or three of them reasonably clean. You did well today, Joachim."
"Thank you. You too."
"How was it there for you?"
"Where?"
"In France."
"Quick... Messy... Always losing... Always retreating."
"What planes did you flown?"
"They gave us their worst planes in before the Germans invaded."
"Gave you? You weren't alone?"
"No. I arrived in France with a Polish pilot. We were able to escape from Poland and we were debriefed and sent to a training squadron. But soon they decided that they needed us in a combat squadron. We were lucky enough to fly the D.520's."
"You seem sad."
"I lost several wingmen during those first days."
"The French didn't put much of a fight, did they?..."
"You're wrong, Kyte! They did put a fight! They're leaders were still living on the Great War..."
"I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, old chap. Fill up our glasses, will you?"
