Slaughterhouse-five: Holy Schlachthof-fünf (7)

I really want a hard copy of the book for myself (yes, I'm reading it on Adobe) so i can highlight the quotes I like.
Int his chapter in particular I could see Billy's childish side. I thought it was adorable how when they open the door, all the naked women are screaming while "there in the doorway were Gluck and Derby and Pilgrim-the childish soldier and the poor old high school teacher and the clown in his toga and silver shoes-staring" (Vonnegut 56).
Even though it is rather sad that the men sneak in to steal some syrup, the idea that they are eating stolen pregnant-lady food is simply endearing. It's just as if all these men where just innocent, silly children on the inside, who can weep over a spoonful of sweet goop.
I still can't get over the fact that Billy survived a plane crash... it just seems so surreal.
