Quotes4

  • George Heisler: There are no better men than Paul Roeder.
  • Fuellgrabe: I am going to give myself up to the Gestapo. It is the very, very cleverest thing to do.
  • George Heisler: Don't be a fool. They'll kill you.
  • Fuellgrabe: What of it? It won't be so bad to have it over with. Do you like your life? What are you struggling to stay alive for? What for? Better be dead and rotting, and not have to see man's inhumanity to man. This is an evil world, Heisler. A stinking, horrible, Godforsaken world.
  • Poldi Schlamm: [George thanks Poldi for giving him a passport and sailing instructions] You don't have to thank me. I didn't do much.
  • George Heisler: You did enough.
  • Poldi Schlamm: You know, yesterday afternoon at the delicatessen where I work, the ants got into the sugar bowl. By the end of the day, the sugar bowl was empty, and the ants had moved all the sugar to the other end of the shop. Each one of them did his own little job. Together, they emptied the whole sugar bowl. See what I mean?
  • George Heisler: I see.
  • Poldi Schlamm: Well, good luck. And... they can't kill all the ants, can they?
  • George Heisler: Well, you seem to have accomplished quite a good deal since I saw you last.
  • Paul Roeder: Oh, well. The population of Germany has to be trebled. Don't you listen to the Fuhrer's speeches?
  • George Heisler: Yes. But I never heard him say little Paul Roeder had to do it all himself.
  • Paul Roeder: It is not so difficult nowadays to have children.
  • George Heisler: It never was.
