...right to be. After a drippy and yet oddly charming love song, Little Sally muses that Hope, the female ingénue, loves her male counterpart, Bobby. “Of course, she does,” replies Officer Lockstock breaking down into tears in his best tribute to soap opera acting, before adding a second punch line with the tongue-in-cheek explanation, “he’s the hero of the play...

Basements of other houses were stocked with antitank mines and machine guns. Students' notebooks were filled with descriptions of explosives and demolition techniques--including those for underwater attacks.
