      Once years ago I was talking with a friend and somehow Latin came up.    
   He said he never learned Latin and I said when I was in school I had to take   
   it.  He replied that when I was school Latin was still the common language.

      (I don't remember much of it, only a few words.  Just enough to get a   
   rough idea of what the writing means).

     He did that a lot.

      He wasn't the first, that had been done a few times in the years before   
   by other directors/writers.   
      Often times writers would have dialogue they knew the censors would cut   
   out and they were able to leave in something else that would slip past.    
   Sort of written slight of hand.
