They pursued Cooley from his bookstore, who hurriedly fled to North Africa (where Miller murdered him soon after).The King""s men were ordered to seize the fairest wenches in the kingdom o serve in the King""s court.He demanded: "Wenches, laughter, song, that""s what this court needs!" Ravenhurst reminded he King about how he had sent for a court jester named Giacomo who would arrive soon: "By reputation the gayest and wittiest entertainer in Europe.He asks: "Who - was that?," but is told nothing.The next caption reads:But this is what happened to Freder - son of Joh Fredersen, master of Metropolis, when he went in search of the girl.I shouldn""t be here at all.I don""t feel offended.Katczinsky (joking): It don""t apply to tramps like you.Tjaden: Good.Then I can be going home right away...The Kaiser and me...Me and the Kaiser felt just alike about this war.We didn""t neither of us want any war, so I""m going home.He""s there already.Soldier: Somebody must have wanted it.Maybe it was the English.No, I don""t want to shoot any Englishman.I never saw one ""til I came up here.And I suppose most of them never saw a German ""til hey came up here.No, I""m sure they weren""t asked about it.Another Soldier: Well, it must be doing somebody some good.Tjaden: Not me and the Kaiser.Soldier: I think maybe the Kaiser wanted a war.Tjaden: You leave us out of this.Katczinsky: I don""t see that.The Kaiser""s got everything he needs.Soldier: Well, he never had a war before.Every full-grown Emperor needs one war to make him famous.Why, that""s history.Paul: Yeah, Generals too.They need war.A Third Soldier: And manufacturers.They get rich.One of the soldiers compares war to a "fever": "Nobody wants it in particular.And then all at once, here it is.We didn""t want it.The English didn""t want it.And here we are fighting." Katczinsky explains how wars should really be fought:I""ll tell ya how it should all be done.Whenever here""s a big war comin"" on, you should rope off a big field (and sell tickets).Yeah, and, and, on the big day, you should take all the kings and their cabinets and their generals, put them in he center dressed in their underpants and let ""em fight it out with clubs.
