Quotes6

  • Doctor: You still have the mentality of a storm trooper.
  • Patient: Thank you. I take that as a compliment. They must be pretty smart, those storm troopers. They own Europe. they took it over just like that, and, you know, the first thing they did was to remake Europe. And how did they do that? By getting rid of certain people. Now over here it's going to be a little different. You know, it won't be only the Jews we get rid of, don't you? You're going to make it easier for us. You won't have to wear any armband. We're going to spot you a mile away.
  • Doctor: Where did you go?
  • Patient: ere, there, anywhere, I guess. Just roamed around working at all sorts of jobs. Anything I could get I took.
  • Doctor: Sounds pretty rough for a boy that age.
  • Patient: Believe me, it was. Some of the things I had to do weren't fit for a white man...
  • [after a pause]
  • Patient: Sorry, what I meant to say was that...
  • Doctor: It's all right. Go on.
  • Patient: Look, I said i was sorry.
  • Doctor: What do you expect me to do? Smile? Let's not make a thing out of it.
  • Patient: You can appreciate that I apologized.
  • Doctor: I do, I do, but you make it sound like an achievement.
  • Patient: It is for me.
  • Doctor: Look, you wanna go on with this?
  • Patient: [Smiles] Sure, why not. It's a great pastime,
  • Patient: Believe me, if it wasn't for the war, we'd be running things right now.
  • Doctor: You make it sound so easy.
  • Patient: Go ahead and laugh. Laugh and you won't hear us comin'.
  • Patient: Maybe you see a house you like and you've even got the money to buy it, can you live there, huh? You live in a ghetto. North, east, south or west, you live where they let you live.
  • Patient: But, you take the ordinary man. Now, he's lost. He has no real leader. He wants a leader. He wants a lot of things he doesn't have and doesn't know how to get. But most of all, he wants an excuse to get them. A cause.
  • Doctor: And, that's where you come in.
  • Patient: No. No, that's where you come in. No offense intended. You see, we need you. Where there's no definite enemy, why, we create one. People need one to blame things on. So, you see, you're the secret weapon. You're the cause to unite against.
  • Patient: Why don't you wise up?
  • Doctor: How would i do that?
  • Patient: Why don't you go back to Africa?
