From October 1939:

Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy and Robert Taylor were discussing the war the other day in the studio cafe. Tracy said: “Well, Taylor, I suppose you’ll be the first to go if if the United States gets into this thing. Too bad. Gable and I are lucky. We’re too old.”

“Yeah, we’re too old,” echoed Gable.

“Yeah,” replied Taylor, ducking, “it took the war to bring that out.”
