Oh Crud! The German Army

One evening when we had guests for dinner (John and his fiance-now bride Liz) Connor went into a one man show.  We had been discussing the play, The 39 Steps, and how the actors had switched roles so seamlessly.

Connor stands next to the table and starts:

'I need to hide'  (Connor is looking left, then right as he talks to himself)
'Come in.  Come in.'
'I don't have much time.'
'What have you done?'
'Oh crud!  The German army.  Do you have any secret hiding places?'
'Twenty-seven.'
'Great.'  Connor ducks under the table, then pops back up
'I haven't told you where they are though.'
'That's okay, I'll just go out the window.'

And then he sat back down.
Like the snail said when he was jumped in the alley by a turtle, "I don't know, it all happened so fast."
