Heh, we considered for some time exactly how we were going to lead into that, our deliberations largely focusing on (as another poster has indicated wondering about) how he was going to announce the unexpected change to the program. And then - plot twist! - it occurred to us that he just wouldn't; he would simply go ahead as if he'd meant to do what he ended up doing all along and people would have to take notes if they couldn't keep up.

He did presumably speak to his original fiancée privately beforehand, and though we have seen what her younger brother made of it, we have no information as yet regarding how she took the change in plan herself.

Backpfeifengesicht, as it turns out, is not limited to Ostmarkers.

While we were working on that sequence, the question of where Lucchini learned to put her back into it like that came up, and we concluded that she must have learned it from Shirley at some unspecified point during the period between the TV seasons when they were roaming around North Africa. Massive bar fight in Tobruk, probably, involving various members of the 31st Joint Fighter Squadron (Afrika) and some Britannian soldiers.

"Hey Shirley! Show me how to punch a guy!"

"Why, it's dead simple, my dear. You just make a fist, lean well back, and assert yourself."
