ENTENTE CORDIALE
"You ready, Joe!"

"Yessir."

--"Messieurs, à table!
Ici, mon commandant."

"That's right, you tell 'em where,
we none of us savvy their lingo."

--"Voilà, messieurs."

"Who paint thees card! 'Tis 'ow you say, a peach--
de eagle shake'and weet de coc--C'est admirable!"

"Where's the soup Joe--What? Which wine first? We don't care,
get 'em tight as quick as you can."

"Ils sent fameux
ces Américains, avec leurs bouteilles!"

"We'll teach
'em to drink."

"Mais qu'est-ce que c'est qu'ça?--C'est formidable!"

"My God Joe, you served all four courses at once!"

"Hey there--
speech, Commaundaunt."

"I regrette not to speak."

"Come on there Skipper, it's your turn---Give 'em a speech."

"Bottoms up, men!"

"A la santé des deux
républiques!"

"Yea--Vive la France"

"Vive l'Amérique!"
