Quotes5

  • Dr. Wilhelm Schumann: When I had my heart attack, there was a dream I had. You can talk about death - I've seen it many times as a doctor - but you never know what it's like until it happens to you... I dreamt I had already died. I dreamt I was in a box with sweat broke out all over my body. I wanted to cry out 'I can't be dead, I haven't lived!'.
  • Capt. Thiele: Who has?
  • Capt. Thiele: I'm glad to get out of Veracruz. The whole damn country is ready to explode. Well, did you get a look at them? Anything interesting? Anything interesting at all?
  • Dr. Wilhelm Schumann: There is a dwarf. That high.
  • [holds his hand level with his hip]
  • Dr. Wilhelm Schumann: A couple of young American painters. And a Jewish salesman - with an infectious sense of humor.
  • Capt. Thiele: Women, Willie. Women!
  • Dr. Wilhelm Schumann: Well, a rather attractive middle-aged American woman, but I'm afraid she's too far from the cradle for you.
  • Capt. Thiele: Those are the kind that can sometimes appreciate what they are getting.
  • Capt. Thiele: She wants her precious needle. She doesn't want you.
  • Capt. Thiele: What would you have liked to have been, Willy?
  • Dr. Wilhelm Schumann: A good doctor.
  • Capt. Thiele: Don't you think you are?
  • Dr. Wilhelm Schumann: Fair to middlin'.
  • Capt. Thiele: What should I tell them this time?
  • Dr. Wilhelm Schumann: Tell them anything you like. Tell them I had to fix the toilets.
