Original Text:
IL N'Y A PIRE SOURD QUE CELUI QUI NE VEUT PAS ENTENDRE.
L'AIDE DE CAMP (Criant) - Je viens vous informer que nos troupes sont obligées de battre en retraite!.....
LE GÉNÉRAL SCHLICK... - Nous venons de remporter la victoire!... je m'y attendais.... ce n'est pas la peine de crier si fort pour m'annoncer cela!..
L'AIDE DE CAMP,.... (Criant encore plus fort). - Non, pas victoire... retraite!... retraite!!... retraite!!... plan.... brrrrrran... ran... plan... plan... brrrrrran.... vous avez beau être sourd..., regardez du côté des français et vous les verrez venir!.....


Translation:
THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN A DEAF MAN WHO DOES NOT WANT TO HEAR.
The adjutant (loud): I came to inform you that our troops have to retreat.
General Schlick: We are victorious!… That’s exactly what I expected… it’s not necessary to shout like that just to tell me that!
The adjutant (louder): No, not victory… retreat… retreat!!... plan.... brrrrrran... ran... plan... plan... brrrrrran.... You can be as deaf as you like… look to the side of the French and you will see them come towards us !!
