In Herr Peter Squenz, I played the king. I was killed in Galway and Cork. The press killed me. No, the press was at neither venue. In the role of the queen, Sally Ann, my former girlfriend, killed me. Such is first love. During the Galway performance, I nearly forgot my last line, the play’s last line. The audience and my fellow thespians accepted the LONG pause as extemporaneous comedy.

Kurzeil genug für diesen Abend. Wir sind müder vom Lachen als vom Zusehen. Man zünde die Fackeln an und begleite uns ins Zimmer. (Enough pastime for one evening. We are more tired from laughing than watching. Light the torches and accompany us to our room.)
