Who couldn't.

Fulton

I haven't cracked a smile in months.

Jerry

Oh don't worry, you'll crack. Cracking's inevitable, first you crack then you chuckle. That was the motto with the Russians at the Caesar Leningrad... first you crack then you chuckle. (Fulton looks at him not amused) You know because Leningrad when the Nazis attacked, it wasn't a very happy time... because of the war, famine, plus it was cold, very cold... they were eating each other. (Nervous under the pressure; Fulton not finding anything Jerry is saying funny) Maybe this isn't a good time for a visit.

Fulton

It's a fine time.

Jerry

Oh, alright ah well... There's a priest, a minister and a rabbi, and they're all staring at him....
