    In memory of
    author George Tabori
    (see previous entry):

    57:

    "The author takes the place of the omniscient narrator. He heightens the tension by using striking dialogue. To decrease the tension he uses some light forms of comedy, like the commands for the Dobermans of the little boy: 'Ketchup' for retreating, 'Pickles' for attacking, and 'Mustard' for killing."

    -- Menno Mertens  
    on Ira Levin's
    The Boys from Brazil
