  • In the play version, they don't even speak a common language, so they stumble and pantomime through the scene, which is capped off with the allied soldier proclaiming (quite passionately) that: "There would be a lot less cryin' widows in the world if blokes would just talk to each other like you and I have!" The german soldier is very confused, and simply extends his hand and gives his name as Manfred. To which the allied soldier responds: "Same to you!"
• The comparison between Italian food and Italian women.
• The French girl trying to teach Joey to leap.
