There was shish-kabob for lunch, huge, savory hunks of spitted meat sizzling like the devil over charcoal after marinating seventy-two hours in a secret mixture Milo had stolen from a crooked trader in the Levant, served with Iranian rice and asparagus tips Parmesan, followed by cherries jubilee for dessert and then steaming cups of fresh coffee with Benedictine and brandy.

Under Colonel Korn's rule, the only people permitted to ask questions were those who never did.

The Germans will be beaten in a few months. And Japan will be beaten a few months after that. If I were to give up my life now, it wouldn't be for my country. It would be for Cathcart and Korn. So I'm turning my bombsight in for the duration. From now on I'm thinking only of me.

Neki vannak problémái? Mit szóljak én? – Daneeka Doki lassú, gyászos szipogással folytatta. – Á, én nem panaszkodom. Tudom, hogy háború van. Tudom, hogy egy csomó embernek szenvedni kell majd értünk, hogy megnyerjék nekünk a háborút. De miért kell nekem ezek között lennem?

– Lehet, hogy egy hosszú életet tényleg sok kellemetlen körülménnyel kell megtölteni, ha azt akarjuk, hogy hosszúnak látsszon. De ha így van, kinek kell?
– Nekem – mondta neki Dunbar.
– Miért? – kérdezte Clevinger.
– Tudsz jobbat?
