General Lecoq
- Gen. Lecoq: Now men, because you are all getting a three-day furlough before going into battle, we would like to show you this little hygiene play.
- [the actors step forward and the play begins]
- Woman hygiene class: Goodbye. I hope you had a good time.
- Soldier: I did. I had a good time. Oh, what's this sore on my lip? I better see the doctor.
- [He steps to his right and another actor stands up]
- Soldier: Doc, I have this sore on my lip.
- Doctor: You have a social disease my friend.
- Soldier: Oh my God!
- Doctor: If you do not treat it, you will go blind... Or insane!
- [Applause]
- Gen. Lecoq: Well men, that is the end of the play. Have a good time on your furlough and take care of yourselves.
- Soldier: Well, what did you think of the play?
- Boris: Oh, it was weak. I was never interested. Although the part of the doctor was played with gusto and verve and the girl had a delightful cameo role. A puckish satire of contemporary mores. A droll spoof aimed more at the heart than the head.
- Soldier: As for me I'm planning to spend the next three days in a brothel. Care to come with me?
- Boris: No, I went to a brothel once in my life. I got hiccups you know, it was over like that.
