Goodbye, Mom!
Riesel!
Yes?
You told him to say goodnight this early just because your father told you.
How do you know my father?
I have a way of knowing things.
When were you guys together?
Thursday.
I mean, how did you know two days ago that you would be here at just this time tonight with the telegram?
Every year on this day he always gets a birthday telegram from his sister.
You see?
You are -
Can I come again tomorrow night?
Oh, lolz.
Can't be sure you're going to have a telegram for delivery.
I'm sure I'm not going to have a nearby mistake.
With a telegram for Colonel Schneider.
He's here from Berlin.
He's staying with the Galact, but
No one's supposed to know he's here.
Don't you tell your father!
Well, [B] why not?
Where's the Austrian?
We're all Austrians.
Some people think we ought to be German.
They're pretty mad at those who don't think so, and they're getting ready to
age.
Just hope your father doesn't get into -
Don't worry - Separate!
