" Absolutely nothing , sir ! " Colonel Cathcart responded sprucely , wincing in extreme pain and gingerly rubbing the spot where Colonel Korn had just jabbed him again . " And that ’ s exactly why I decided to take absolutely no action at all until I first had an opportunity to discuss it with you . Shall we ignore it completely , sir ? " General Dreedle ignored him completely , turning away from him in baleful scorn to hand Yossarian his medal in its case .
— Абсолютно ничего, сэр! Полковник Кэткарт отреагировал изящно, поморщившись от сильной боли и осторожно потер то место, куда полковник Корн только что снова ударил его. "And that’s exactly why I decided to take absolutely no action at all until I first had an opportunity to discuss it with you. Shall we ignore it completely, sir?" Генерал Дридл полностью проигнорировал его, отвернувшись от него со зловещим презрением, чтобы вручить Йоссариану свою медаль в футляре.
