[first lines]
Jojo Betzler : [Jojo puts on his uniform and looks at himself in the mirror] Jojo Betzler, ten years old. Today, you join the ranks of the Jungvolk in a very special training weekend. It's going to be intense. Today, you become a man.
[pause]
Jojo Betzler : I swear to devote all my energies and my strength to the savior of our country, and of his now. I am willing and ready to give up my life for him. So help me, God.
[Hitler walks around Jojo]

Jojo Betzler : Snake mind.
Adolf Hitler : And Jojo Betzler, what is your body?
Jojo Betzler : Wolf body.
Adolf Hitler : Jojo Betzler, what is your courage?
Jojo Betzler : Panther courage.
Adolf Hitler : And Jojo Betzler, what is your soul?
Jojo Betzler : A German soul.
Adolf Hitler : Yeah, man. You're ready.
Jojo Betzler : Adolf?
Adolf Hitler : Hmm?
Jojo Betzler : I don't... I don't think I can do this.
Adolf Hitler : What? Of course you can. Sure, you're a little bit scrawny and a bit unpopular and you can't tie your shoelaces even though you're 10 years old, but you're still the bestest, most loyal little Nazi I've ever met. Not to mention the fact you're really good looking. So you're gonna get out there and you're gonna have a great time, okay?
Jojo Betzler : Okay.
Adolf Hitler : That's the spirit, okay.
[Adolf turns Jojo around]
Adolf Hitler : Heil me, man.
Jojo Betzler : Heil Hitler.
Adolf Hitler : Whaaat? You can heil me better than that.
Jojo Betzler : Heil Hitler.
Adolf Hitler : Just throw it away. Don't even think about it.
Jojo Betzler : Heil Hitler.
Adolf Hitler : No, you're overthinking it. Heil Hitler.
Jojo Betzler : Heil Hitaler.
Adolf Hitler : Who's Hitaler? Do you even speak German?
Jojo Betzler : Heil Hitler.
Adolf Hitler : That's not a heil. This is a heil. Heil!
Jojo Betzler : Heil Hitler!
Adolf Hitler : Heil Hitler!
Jojo Betzler : Heil Hitler!
Adolf Hitler : Heil Hitler!
[Jojo continues to yell 'Heil Hitler!' several times]
Adolf Hitler : Ooh, that's it! You've got it! Heil Hitler! Have a great day! Heil Hitler! You can be the best! Heil Hitler! You can do it!
Jojo Betzler , Adolf Hitler : Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler!
[they both scream until Jojo runs out the door]

Adolf Hitler : [after Jojo gets book from shelf] Yes. Great thinking, Rabbit. we'll use all of these books to make a fake floor that she'll fall through, straight into a pit full of piranhas, and, and lava and bacon. Why, she won't know what hit her.
Jojo Betzler : Shh!
Adolf Hitler : Shh?
Jojo Betzler : Shh!
Adolf Hitler : You, shush. Shush me? Let's get a book and let's go. Libraries are dumb.
-
Adolf Hitler : You two seem to be getting on well!
Jojo Betzler : She doesn't seem like a bad person.
-
Adolf Hitler : Sure, you're a little bit scrawny and a bit unpopular and you can't tie your shoelaces even though you're ten years old. But you're still the bestest, most loyal little Nazi I've ever met. Not to mention the fact you're really good-looking.
-
Adolf Hitler : Let me give you some really good advice. Be the rabbit. The humble bunny can outwit all of his enemies. He's brave and sneaky and strong. Be the rabbit.
-
Adolf Hitler : Now, listen, Jojo, can I give you some really good advice? When you see what's in her mind, and where she's trying to make you go in your mind. In your mind, you must go the other way. Get what I'm saying? Do not let her put you in a brain prison. That, dear Jojo, is one thing that cannot and must not ever, ever happen to a German! Do not let your German brain be bossed around!
-
Adolf Hitler : And don't give her anymore knives!
-
Adolf Hitler : I am beginning to question your loyalty to myself and the party. You call yourself a patriot? Yet, where is the evidence? The German soldier was born out of necessity. Germany depends on the passion of these young men. Passion and readiness to fall for the Fatherland, despite the futile efforts of ally war profiteers, who send their ill-prepared armies, clumsily, into the lair of the wolf. And only zealous men, who stand steadfast in the face of the enemy will be etched in German memory forever. And it is up to you to decide if you want to be remembered, or disappear without a trace, like a pitiful grain of sand into a dessert of insignificance. To put it plainly. Get your shit together and sort out your priorities. You're 10, Jojo. Start acting like it.

[Unseen by Jojo, Rosie moves to the fireplace and pulls some small pieces of printed paper from her pocket. She lights them and throws them into the hearth]
Adolf Hitler : Wait a minute. She's burning something. That's suspicious. What's she burning?
[to Rosie, shouting]
Adolf Hitler : What are you burning?
Jojo Betzler : She can't hear you.
Adolf Hitler : Oh.
[beat; screams]
Adolf Hitler : WHAT ARE YOU BURNING?
-
Adolf Hitler : And now she's got two knives.
-
Jojo Betzler : Stop offering me, damn, cigarettes! I'm ten!
Adolf Hitler : All right, sorry, I'm stressed out!
-
Adolf Hitler : Concentrate, Jojo. Remember, a Jew living in your wall is better than two Jews flying around with their bat wings, climbing down chimneys and eating innocent Nazis.
-
Adolf Hitler : I'll let you in on a little secret. The rabbit is no coward. The humble little bunny faces the dangerous world every day, hunting carrots for his family, for his country. My empire would be full of all animals. Lions, giraffes, zebras, rhinoceroses, octopuses, Rhinoctopuses. Even the mighty rabbit.
-
Adolf Hitler : Don't complicate things. Just use my backwards mind power trick, and everything will be fine.
[looks at his watch]
Adolf Hitler : Oh, I gotta go. We're having a unicorn for dinner at my place tonight.
-
Adolf Hitler : What are we gonna do about that Jew?
Jojo Betzler : You think of something.
Adolf Hitler : Oh, now I'm the expert?
-
Adolf Hitler : She's pretty rude, you know. That's just my 2 pfennige.
