Golda (2023)

Golda Meir: Why do you trust this man?
Zvi Zamir: He knows everything and he says war is coming.
Golda Meir: Yeah, well, of course, war is coming, but when?

Golda Meir: Without Dayan's support, there can be no mobilization and he is unconvinced that the threat is imminent. If he resigns, the government falls. It's that simple. And then the Arabs will most certainly attack.

Golda Meir: I suggest we mobilize 120,000 troops. Better to be safe than sorry, huh?
David 'Dado' Elazar: A hundred and twenty thousand men is not enough.
Moshe Dayan: It is.
David 'Dado' Elazar: It's not.
Moshe Dayan: It is.
David 'Dado' Elazar: It is not. We'll be outnumbered seven to one.
Golda Meir: The decision has been made. One hundred and twenty thousand. Thank you, gentlemen.

David 'Dado' Elazar: Four hours early...

— The Egyptians are shelling across the canal.
— Syrian jets are bombing the Golan.
— The Egyptians have fired a Kelt cruise missile at Tel Aviv.
Golda Meir: I'm not going to get under the table, but don't let me stop you.

Golda Meir: You all have a plan. Go back to your ministries and put it into effect with calm precision. Thank you, gentlemen. Moshe, we place our trust in you.

Golda Meir: We've got trouble with the neighbors again.
Henry Kissinger: I'm sorry to hear that. Uh, could I ask who fired the first shot?

Henry Kissinger: I'll start to apply diplomatic pressure.
Golda Meir: Please do. But be clear on one point. We will keep fighting until every Egyptian soldier has been driven back across the canal. They will gain nothing by force. If they want their land back, they must recognize the sovereign state of Israel.
Henry Kissinger: I understand.
Golda Meir: Thank you, Henry.
Henry Kissinger: Good luck, Golda.

Moshe Dayan: We lost. We lost the north. It's Armageddon. We lost the north. I alerted Dimona. The nuclear weapon. Yes, that's what I did.

Moshe Dayan: This is another Masada, Golda.

Golda Meir: The enemy has tasted blood. There is no reason for them to stop now. This is 1948 again. We are fighting for our lives.

Golda Meir: Sadat got his victory.
Moshe Dayan: Yes.
Golda Meir: But... does he know it?

Golda Meir: If the Arabs defeat us with Soviet weapons, what message does that send to the Free World, Henry?

Golda Meir: So, Arik. You want to cross the canal with 50 tanks and 2,000 men and take on two divisions. I believe that's 600 tanks and 30,000 men. Is that your plan?

Zvi Zamir: The Egyptians will renew their offensive in two days' time. The 4th and the 21st Division will cross the canal and join the attack.
Arik Sharon: If they crossed, Cairo will be undefended. No one could be that stupid.
Zvi Zamir: The Egyptians are about to make a terrible mistake. I suggest we let them make it.
Moshe Dayan: It would seem a ridiculous decision.
Golda Meir: No. I don't think so. Sadat is the first Arab leader to defeat the Jews in battle. So he's feeling euphoric. Invincible. Do you think a few sand dunes along the Suez Canal will seem enough when the gates of Jerusalem are beckoning? Knowing when you've lost is easy. It's knowing when you've won that's hard. Hmm! We'll wait for them to cross. Thank you, gentlemen.

Golda Meir: Arik. You'll get your chance. And for that, they will make you Prime Minister. Just remember, all political careers end in failure.

Moshe Dayan: I think we should think seriously about accepting a ceasefire.
Golda Meir: We are facing an unholy alliance between the Soviets and the Arabs that must be defeated. If our enemies stop fearing us, they will attack again and again and again.

Henry Kissinger: You know, they jammed the communication equipment on my plane.
Golda Meir: Hmm, of course. Those Russians. They brought nothing but misery to the world.
Henry Kissinger: Normally, I would agree with you. Of course, there is Tolstoy.
Golda Meir: Hmm!
Henry Kissinger: And Dostoyevsky.
Golda Meir: Misery on every page.

Henry Kissinger: I think it's important that you remember that I am first an American, second, I am Secretary of State, and third, I am a Jew.
Golda Meir: You forget that in Israel, we read from right to left.

Henry Kissinger: The Saudis have cut off our oil and crude has jumped from four dollars a barrel to 12, so... You can see that the American people will pay a high price for supporting Israel. Which is why we need the ceasefire agreement.

Golda Meir: I thought we were friends, Henry...
Henry Kissinger: We will always protect Israel.
Golda Meir: Like you did in '48? We had to get our weapons from Stalin. Stalin! Our survival is not in your gift. If we have to, we will fight alone.

Golda Meir: Let me tell you about the Russians, Henry. When I was a child in Ukraine, at Christmas time, my father would board up the windows of our house... To protect us from Cossacks who would get drunk and attack Jews. They would beat Jews to death in the street for fun. My father would hide us in the cellar. And we'd stay silent, hoping the killers would pass us by. My father's face, Henry. I will never forget that look. All he wanted was to protect his children. I am not that little girl hiding in the cellar!
Henry Kissinger: So, now you're going to fight with the Russians too, huh?
Golda Meir: You must choose, Henry. Side with me or I will create an army of orphans and widows.
Henry Kissinger: This is not the way to...
Golda Meir: I will slaughter them all. Whose side are you on? You must choose.

David 'Dado' Elazar: I have a message from Sadat. He's offering direct talks. And an exchange of POWs. He has given the Red Cross a list of names. He referred to you as the Prime Minister of Israel, Golda.
Golda Meir: He used that word, "Israel"?
David 'Dado' Elazar: Yes. Israel. He's recognizing Israel.

Golda Meir: Why?
Zvi Zamir: Who likes to be wrong?
Golda Meir: The listening system must be kept secret. No one must know about this.
Zvi Zamir: You will take the blame?.. I will defend your memory. I promise you that.

Golda Meir: My gut told me that war was coming. But I ignored it. I should've mobilized that night. All those boys who died, I will carry the pain of that to my grave... Please, don't write that down.

Guy Ritchie's The Covenant (2023)

Master Sergeant John Kinley: Well, Akhmed, this unit specializes in finding Taliban munitions and explosive sites. Basically, we get into trouble. Sadly... we lost our last interpreter.
Ahmed: Understood. And it's "Ahmed", sir.
Master Sergeant John Kinley: Oh. Yeah. Well, it's "Sergeant", not "sir".

Colonel Vokes: Look, you've been tasked with finding IED factories. You can get creative in finding them, yeah? Do it your way.
Master Sergeant John Kinley: I don't think you'll like my way.
Colonel Vokes: I don't think it's important whether I like it or not, especially if I don't know about it. I really enjoyed not having this conversation.

Master Sergeant John Kinley: You're out of your bounds, Ahmed. You're here to translate.
Ahmed: Actually, I'm here to interpret.

Master Sergeant John Kinley: Ahmed, you stay here. We don't need a translator for this.

Master Sergeant John Kinley: I'm lying in this bed. I kiss my children before they go to school. And he's hiding in a hole somewhere. A hole he can never get out of. A hole that we put him in. And that wasn't the deal.

Master Sergeant John Kinley: The deal was that we offered his family sanctuary. Then we tied a noose around his neck and we kicked the stool out from under him. I should be in that hole.

Master Sergeant John Kinley: You think he blessed you? Well, he fuckin' cursed me. I am a man who gets no rest.

Master Sergeant John Kinley: We both know how this is gonna end. I am gonna have to get him out myself.

Master Sergeant John Kinley: There is a hook in me. One that you cannot see. But it is there. And you think I have a choice? There is no fuckin' choice. I am going to get that man and his family out of the position that we put him in. And of that, I have no doubt.

Ali: Do you know what John means in my country?... My dear. My love.

Ahmed: I like your outfit.
Master Sergeant John Kinley: And I like what you've done with your hair.

Eddie Parker: You know, if you'd have told me that you were John Kinley, and he's the Ahmed, you'd have got this whole thing on me, pal.

All Quiet on the Western Front (2022)

Rektor: You stand here on the threshold of existence. Remember this moment. It is a great moment. For in years to come, you will be judged based on what you dared to become today. The iron youth of Germany.
     My friends, we are fortunate to be alive at a great time. Your deeds will be the water nourishing the growth of a strong and noble route.
     I am certain that I will see most of you again soon, here at home. Your sword returned to its scabbard with honour and respect. A cross crafted from iron proudly displayed upon your chest. However, take heed of this. In the darkest of hours, let me assure you it will happen, that prior to an attack, you will harbour doubts. But this is not the time to concede to any mental weakness. Any unsteadiness, any hesitation is a betrayal of the fatherland!
     For modern war is like a game of chess. It is never about an individual soldier. Our only care is for the entirety of the body.
     You have the chance to earn the right to wear the uniforms you have been given. And by going to the front line in Flanders, we'll pierce the enemy. And then you will, in a few short weeks, finally march on Paris!
     Our future, the future of Deutschland, lies in the hands of its greatest generation. My friends, that is you, you see! Therefore, off to the camps for the Kaiser, God, and the fatherland!

Stanislaus Katczinsky: Paul, if we keep up this pace, we won't have conquered France for 180 years. I worked it out.

Stanislaus Katczinsky: How is all this going to work out, hmm? Returning to a home, having to go back to our normal being. Where all everyone wants to know about are the battles we've been in. We'll be like travellers who belong in another country elsewhere. Sometimes I wonder... Would... Would I be happier with you here at camp?

Matthias Erzberger: I stand before you in the hope that you will take our presence here today as an opportunity to take action to suspend all hostilities. In the name of humanity, I'm here asking you for an agreement to an immediate cease-fire for the entire duration of our negotiating time in order to spare our nation's unnecessary depletion.

Tjaden Stackfleet: Oh, dear Paul. I have something to give you...
Paul Bäumer: Is he dead?
Tjaden Stackfleet: You must show braveness. You're alive, remember? For that, you have to be grateful. For us. For those who didn't make it.

General Friedrichs: Comrades. Soon you will be going home to your parents, wives and children. The war is over. After years of sacrifice and suffering, you can now look forward to your reward. To the reward of admiration for all you have achieved here. Ah, but comrades, do you want to be welcomed as soldiers and heroes on your return or as weaklings and cowards who tucked their tails in when it really counted?
     Soldiers. We are about to attack them with the utmost force and vehemence. Latierre belongs in German hands. We will seize the plains before 11:00 a.m. and end this war with a merciless strike... and make them see... we were victorious.
     Onwards, with God on our side as he was with our fathers before us.

Last Flag Flying (2017)

Sal Nealon: I'm really sorry for your loss, but I ain't gonna blow a bunch of smoke up your ass. The worst thing that can happen to anybody has landed on you, and now you just got to deal with it.

Sal Nealon: The thing is... you don't have to listen to no colonels no more. Those days are gone.

Reverend Richard Mueller: There wasn't nothin' we could do at that point.
Sal Nealon: And we did nothin'. And sometimes you got to do a little more.

Sal Nealon: You see, I'm not gonna stand there and try to explain myself to Him, I'm gonna make God explain Himself to me. Yeah, and I think by the end of it, He'll say, "Hey, come on. Get in here. You? You're my kind of dude. You, give me one of these."
Reverend Richard Mueller: All right, well, good luck with that. I'll be praying for you, you hear?
Sal Nealon: Yeah, well, I'll be hoping for the same thing. But, boy, if it's a tight-ass God, then I am fucked.

Sal Nealon: You know, Doc, you can make this a whole lot easier on yourself.
Larry 'Doc' Shepherd: Yeah, I don't want to make it easy on myself.
Sal Nealon: Yeah, you're right. Guys like us, we... take all that shit till it's a disaster. And then we're cool. The worst has happened, like we knew it would.

Larry 'Doc' Shepherd: What happened?
Reverend Richard Mueller: After they ID'd me as the Reverend Richard Mueller, found that I am not a Muslim radical, nor am I a mullah.
Sal Nealon: Mullah the Mauler! Huh?

Sal Nealon: So, kid, how's the living over there? Hmm?
Lance Corporal Washington: It's all right... But they sure fuckin' hate us over there.
Sal Nealon: Sound familiar?
Reverend Richard Mueller: I swear to God, we got to be the only occupying force in history that expects them to like us.

Operation Mincemeat (2021)

Ian Fleming: In any story, if it's a good story, there is that which is seen and that which is hidden. This is especially true in stories of war...

Ewen Montagu: ... But the real tribute tonight goes to Iris, my brilliant wife, who in the morning, sails to less troubled shores with our nestlings in tow. Iris is wiser than Solomon, stronger than Samson and more patient than Job... She has to be. She's married to me.

Ewen Montagu: Why do you call Godfrey "M"?
Ian Fleming: Because I called my mother "M." The most terrifying, most impossible, most demanding creature I've ever known.

Ewen Montagu: The plan will work if we make it work.

Ewen Montagu: Well, what say we start with the easy part and find ourselves a corpse?

Charles Cholmondeley: If you could point me to a girl who would give us her photograph...
Jean Leslie: But what would her photograph be used for?
Charles Cholmondeley: Well, I'm afraid that's classified. But, erm, by donating her image, she'd be involved in and on the ground floor of a significant operation.
Jean Leslie: Operation Trojan Horse?
Charles Cholmondeley: It's been renamed. Something less obvious. Operation Mincemeat.
Jean Leslie: Due to the dead body.
Charles Cholmondeley: You surmised that rather quickly.

Winston Churchill: You would put the fate of one Russian spy over tens of thousands in Sicily?
Admiral Godfrey: With respect, Prime Minister, I'm trying to look at the bigger picture. Russia may be our ally at the moment, but she was until recently in a pact with Germany. I believe she will soon be our enemy again.

Winston Churchill: This is the problem when one is dealing with spooks. You do see it? The corkscrew thinking required to manage spies sometimes twists one too many turns until one finds oneself charging forward while at the same time looking out of one's own arse.
Admiral Godfrey: I assume you're referring to me.
Winston Churchill: Russia is tomorrow's war. The Nazis are expecting a deception. Which means that our effort must be unbelievable enough to make it believable. The plan is risky. It's also highly implausible. Meaning that all the reasons it shouldn't work are the same reasons the Germans might believe it's true. So when can it be ready?
Admiral Godfrey: Er... Immediately?
Winston Churchill: Correct.

Ewen Montagu: As you just heard, Miss Michael, the prime minister has approved the plan to make your brother a hero.
Charles Cholmondeley: We do understand that this is the most enormous sacrifice. But his service... he can save literally thousands, tens of thousands of lives.

Ewen Montagu: My life is complicated. It's not an excuse or a defence or anything, really. Only to say...

Ewen Montagu: The fate of the free world dependent on a corpse in a donkey cart.

Hester Leggett: Every marriage has its difficulties and disappointments. Haven't we all had our hearts broken over the years?

Ewen Montagu: I don't need you to remind me of my sins. I only wonder how you reconcile yourself with yours.

Admiral Godfrey: If it were up to me, I would postpone Sicily and have you drawn and quartered.
Ewen Montagu: No doubt the prime minister has been informed? What does he want to do?
Admiral Godfrey: The prime minister does not want to postpone Sicily. I pray we can all live with the consequences.

Charles Cholmondeley: I may vomit.
Ewen Montagu: I may vomit with you.

Ewen Montagu: Every, er, piece of intelligence says that the Nazis are waiting for us in Greece. And every piece of intelligence may be the greatest deception the Nazis have ever played against us.
Charles Cholmondeley: Why do you think Churchill still believes this can work?
Ewen Montagu: Because he has to.

Ewen Montagu: In God's name, Fleming, what are you writing?
Ian Fleming: Spy story.

Braveheart (1995)

William Wallace: I can fight.
Malcolm Wallace: I know. I know you can fight. But it's our wits that make us men.

Argyle Wallace: Your heart is free. Have the courage to follow it.

William Wallace: What are they doing?
Argyle Wallace: Saying goodbye in their own way. Playing outlawed tunes on outlawed pipes.

Longshanks - King Edward I: The trouble with Scotland is that it's full of Scots.

Longshanks - King Edward I: Perhaps the time has come to reinstitute an old custom. Grant them Prima Nocte... First night. When any common girl inhabiting their lands is married, our nobles shall have sexual rights to her on the night of her wedding. If we can't get them out, we'll breed them out.

William Wallace: You've dropped your rock.
Hamish: Test of manhood.
William Wallace: You win.

William Wallace: Murron, would you like to come and ride with me on this fine evening?
Mother MacClannough: In this? You're out of your mind.
William Wallace: It's good Scottish weather, madam. The rain is falling straight down. Slightly to the side, like.

William Wallace: Of course, running a farm's a lot of work, but that will all change when my sons arrive.
Murron: So you've got children?
William Wallace: Not yet, but I was hoping that you could help me with that.
Murron: So you want me to marry you, then?
William Wallace: It's a bit sudden, but all right.
Murron: Is that what you call a proposal?
William Wallace: I love you. Always have.

Robert Bruce 17th: This Wallace, he doesn't even have a knighthood, but he fights with passion, and he inspires.
Robert Bruce 16th: And you wish to charge off and fight as he did? So would I.
Robert Bruce 17th: Well, maybe it's time.
Robert Bruce 16th: It is time to survive. You're the 17th Robert Bruce. The 16 before you passed you land and title because they didn't charge in.

Robert Bruce 16th: You admire this man, this William Wallace. Uncompromising men are easy to admire. He has courage, so does a dog. But it is exactly the ability to compromise that makes a man noble. And understand this, Edward Longshanks is the most ruthless king ever to sit on the throne of England, and none of us and nothing of Scotland will remain unless we are as ruthless.

William Wallace: Fight, and you may die. Run, and you'll live. At least awhile. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom?

William Wallace: Here are Scotland's terms. Lower your flags and march straight back to England, stopping at every home you pass by to beg forgiveness for 100 years of theft, rape and murder. Do that and your men shall live. Do it not and every one of you will die today.

William Wallace: There's a difference between us. You think the people of this country exist to provide you with position. I think your position exists to provide those people with freedom, and I go to make sure that they have it.

Princess Isabelle: Will you speak with a woman?

Princess Isabelle: I understand you have recently been given the rank of knight.
William Wallace: I have been given nothing. God makes men what they are.
Did God make you the sacker of peaceful cities, the executioner of the king's nephew, my husband's own cousin?

William Wallace: You know what happens if we don't take that chance?
Hamish: What?
William Wallace: Nothing.

Robert Bruce 16th: At last, you know what it means to hate. Now you're ready to be a king.

Princess Isabelle: In time, who knows what can happen if you can only live.
William Wallace: If I swear to him, then all that I am is dead already.
Princess Isabelle: You will die. It will be awful.
William Wallace: Every man dies. Not every man really lives.

Sergeant Mozer: I'm glad that you're seeking treatment because we got 22 veterans a day killing themselves. And I don't get it. Warriors get stressed. We know this. But this obsession to end your own life, I can't wrap my head around it.

Patty Walker: There are hundreds of thousands of men and women seeking help.
Saskia Schumann: But he's a veteran.
Patty Walker: That's what I mean. There are hundreds of thousands of veterans seeking help.

HHhH (2017)

The Man With The Iron Heart


Heinrich Himmler: I'm looking for someone to run the new SS intelligence unit. Its objective is to gain information on our political enemies. And expose infiltration by government agencies and foreign powers. Tell me- what is your philosophy on intelligence gathering?
Reinhard Heydrich: Intelligence is a marriage of instinct and information, sir...
Heinrich Himmler: Go on.
Reinhard Heydrich: Intelligence requires organization and industry. No one, Herr Himmler, will work harder than me and no one will be more organized.

Lina Von Osten: You know who Hitler is?
Klaus Heydrich: Yeah.
Lina Von Osten: That's him. See that man in the picture?That's our leader. He has just been named Chancellor of Germany. Do you know what that means? It means that he will be able to save our country. That's why mommy and daddy are so happy today.

Reinhard Heydrich: Mein Führer, I stand by the principle that only the best of our people- the racially most carefully selected, of excellent character and pure spirit are capable of providing a service to combat all that is negative and returning our nation to greatness. I am German, mein Führer. And I love my country.

Reinhard Heydrich: We stand at a unique moment in history. Prague, alongside Berlin and Vienna, has been chosen to become the first city free of Jewry in the new Reich. ... All Jews will be required to immediately report to the nearest police station and required to wear a distinctive symbol testifying to their race. All Czech resistance organizations will be destroyed and dismantled without mercy. At the same time, we will increase the salaries of all Czechs working in the armaments factories. The Czech people must know that so long as they are our friends, we will be theirs!

Reinhard Heydrich: In addition to the wider issues of methodology and timescale of the cleansing, there are important clerical and legal decisions to be made at this meeting. I have itemized them as follows. Please hand them around. Jews with military decoration. Half-Jews. Quarter-Jews. Jews in mixed marriages. We shall review them all one by one.
     Will you please turn to page five, gentlemen? This will give you some idea of the task at hand... The figures from our most recent census, dated the 1st of January 1942. Germany: 700,000, Poland: 2 million. Latvia: 300,000, Lithuania: 150,000. Estonia: already cleansed. Satellite countries - Slovakia: 88,000, Croatia: 40,000. Allies - Italy, including Sardinia: 58,000. Neutral countries - 18,000. Sweden: 8,000. Turkey: 55,000. And so on down the page.
     The Einsatzgruppen are already working at maximum efficiency. The elimination of between eleven and twelve million individuals requires a more systematic approach, requires more advanced technology. There is much work to be done....

Reinhard Heydrich: Your Three Kings are dead! The resistance is finished. Go home, tell your families, tell your friends, it's over.

Reinhard Heydrich: My father wrote an opera... There is a line that I remember... 'The world is a barrel organ. God turns the wheel. And we all dance to his music.' Make them dance.

Tom Clancy's Without Remorse (2021)

Karen Greer: The director considers the score even. She feels, uh, it’s unnecessary to poke the bear any further.

Secretary Clay: Has it occurred to you that John Kelly perhaps has done something we can’t? He shook a tree that needed shaking. So... let’s see who else falls out.

John Kelly: I spent half my life playing that game. I’m the one that went to hell and did their dirty work. We served a country that didn’t love us back. Because we believed in what it could be. We fought for what America could be. But they crossed a line. ... That contract is broken. They’re gonna play by my rules now. I’ll show them what a pawn can do to a king.

John Kelly: I think I’ve shown that I’m willing to go further than anyone to get the job done. Consider what I did in Dulles as an audition... Sir, if this guy’s as bad as he says he is, then you need somebody like me. And there’s nobody like me.

John Kelly: Pawns could never kill a king.

Secretary Clay: You know who won World War II? It wasn’t the generals or the admirals. It was the economists. More tanks, planes, ships. And all that spending lifted this entire nation out of poverty. Freed the world from tyranny. A big country needs big enemies. The best enemy we ever had was the Soviet Union. Our fear of them unified our people. Gave us purpose. ... The problem today is half this country thinks the other half is its enemy because they have no one else to fight.

Karen Greer: I know you’re dead and all now, but don’t be a stranger.

John Kelly: I put together some thoughts. A multinational counterterrorist team, made up of U.S., U.K., hand-selected NATO personnel, with the full support of their national intelligence services.
Robert Ritter: And who’s gonna run that kind of thing?
John Kelly: I will. .... Calling it Rainbow.
Robert Ritter: Why is that?
John Kelly: It’s personal.

Oh, yeah.
The ones who say, “Everything is wrong here.” The ones who say, “Now let's all have a good laugh.”
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Pasqualino Frafuso: What the hell?

Pasqualino Frafuso: So I said to my men, where are we going? What are we doing, running around like this? Who wants to go around killing? Let's go. Go back home. You can't work for people who send you with cardboard shoes. Here, where when you blow your nose you get a crystal chandelier and when you shit you get icicles.

Pasqualino Frafuso: How long is this river?
Francesco: It must be the Rhine.
Pasqualino Frafuso: Where is that?
Francesco: It's still in Germany.
Pasqualino Frafuso: Then it's still a pain in the ass.

Pasqualino Frafuso: Who were they?
Francesco: Maybe they are the Jews.
Pasqualino Frafuso: That's impossible.
Francesco: It's possible. And we're as guilty as they are. We're accomplices to those rotten shits.
Pasqualino Frafuso: Why do you think that we're accomplices?
Francesco: Because we didn't make a sound, didn't come out and spit in their faces. We could have, but we ran instead.
Pasqualino Frafuso: That's crazy. How could we have? They'd have come after us and we'd be shot. Useless suicide.
Francesco: No, it wouldn't have been useless because in the face of certain things you've got to say no, and instead I said yes to Mussolini, to duty and to all that crap.

Francesco: In this war I've killed bastards I didn't even know.
Pasqualino Frafuso: I killed before the war, but I had my reasons.
Francesco: I kill like an idiot, for no reason.
Pasqualino Frafuso: I did it for a woman. I killed for a woman.

Signora Frafuso: A woman is a woman, Pasqualino. And a woman, even one who is an evil person, has a little good for someone who can reach her heart. There's a bit of sugar always there.

Pasqualino Frafuso: I had a vision. Something my mama said. That bit of sugar, I know it's there. No matter how rotten she is, or how evil, she must need love. I'm right, Franche. You're educated, but in the matter of women I'm way ahead of you.
Francesco: I'm sure.
Pasqualino Frafuso: You know what I used to be called? Pasqualino Seven Beauties.
Francesco: They did?
Pasqualino Frafuso: Yes, because I'm ugly.
Francesco: You look terrible, all right.
Pasqualino Frafuso: But that was the point. In spite of my looks, I appealed to women. They loved me. People were amazed. They'd say, “It's unbelievable. He's repulsive.” Others replied, “He must have the Seven Beauties.” That's how it came to be my name, see?
Francesco: No, but I believe you.

Pedro: I'm a death expert. I know an anarchist whose bombs didn't work. Mussolini, Hitler, Salazar. I've got failure after failure. These people have made a business out of death.

Pasqualino Frafuso: What's the world coming to? How the hell did the world ever get like this? And we let ourselves get killed this way. Nobody says anything. The Jews, who were supposed to be so smart. The brave Russians, who began the revolution. They're not rebelling. My rotten luck, ending up in this shit pile.

Pasqualino Frafuso: Francesco, I don't want to die. I can't accept that. I'm still young. I had a miserable life. I would like to have changed it, but I never managed to. I can't die like this. I just can't die like this. I'll try and get out of here. I'll do it. I'll find a way out of here, starting at this moment.

Pasqualino Frafuso: I want to live, have children, see my children's children, and more, the children of my children's children. All the children I can possibly have.
Pedro: What bullshit, amigo.
Pasqualino Frafuso: You pig! How dare you tell me what to do? How dare you insult me like that? ....
Pedro: Because the more children you have, the faster the end will come.
Francesco: In what sense? Exactly what do you mean?
Pedro: In the year 1400 there were 500 million people on earth. By the year 1850 the amount had doubled to one billion. Now we're all... extremely indignant because of the death of 20 million men. But in 200 or 300 years, there'll be a lot more of us, 30 billion more. So anywhere you go on earth will be worse than here. That's when men are going to butcher one another and murder an entire family for a piece of bread or an apple... and the world will end.

Don Raphael: Imagination. A creative effort's needed.
Pasqualino Frafuso: Easy, no? Like smoking a cigarette.
Don Raphael: Smoking cigarettes, anybody can do that. The man who wants to be something more... needs the guts to perform. The nerve to do things that normally no one else could possibly imagine.

Don Raphael: Don't pay attention to anyone who talks about the American system. Traditional cement shoes were invented here in Sicily. Chicago and New York just make cheap imitations. It's plagiarism. The king-size coffin is our invention. When you see a funeral in Naples, nobody knows how many bodies are in the coffin. When things get busy, two or three can be stuffed in. Depends on the demand. We invented everything here in Naples. For example, you know the ancient graveyard? Well, when they first opened it they found 500 skeletons. Now there are 5,000. The question is, who put the other 4,500 in there? So, as I said, it depends on the demand.

Lawyer: If you screw yourself, I won't take the case. How can I defend you if you tell the truth? “The monster of Naples is captured and confesses.” Whoever heard of such a thing? Confesses?

Pasqualino Frafuso: A rotten comedy, a lousy farce... called living.

Socialist: Political?
Pasqualino Frafuso: Hatchet killer... Pasqualino Porfusso, the Monster of Naples. The act of an unbalanced mind. Twelve years.
Socialist: You're lucky. They gave me 28 years and four months.
Pasqualino Frafuso: Twenty-eight? How did it come to that?
Socialist: I simply thought. It's the most atrocious crime a citizen could commit.

Pasqualino Frafuso: To tell the truth, politics are boring. I've other interests. Papa was a bricklayer. He talked a little Socialism. But I don't think about it anymore... because I think Il Duce is pretty great. To be truthful, he's given us roads. He's given so much, an entire empire. All the other countries are jealous of our leader. Listening to the man speak to us... that voice and those eyes... and his court found me completely insane. But our people are respected. They used to spit at us Italians. On the face? Remember? Besides, there were many strikes, riots, demonstrations. We used to be in terrible condition. Thanks to him, there's been no disorder.
Socialist: He is a marvel. You're right. There has been law and order, and he's done it by outlawing unions and strikes. The result is that salaries in 1919 were up and today people are making less than half, while the cost of living has increased 30 percent. You didn't know that, huh?

Socialist: You mentioned the strikes and the riots. At least then we knew if there was a disease, we could hope to get well. Now we imagine we're strong and we hide the disease. That man will bring our country to war. That's the final catastrophe.

The Prison Camp Commandant: You're in barracks number 23, right? Starting right now, you're in charge of barrack 23. That's an order. As head of barrack 23, you are to designate any six that you like to be eliminated at once. If not, I eliminate all men in that barrack. You are to choose any six. And the others may get something to eat, even survive. You pick six or you'll all be cremated. Understand? Finished. The choice is yours.

Pasqualino Frafuso: We're getting married. There isn't much time to lose. I want children. Many children. Twenty, 30. It's a matter of self-defense. They must be strong. Look at the crowds out there. Soon they'll be murdering each other, families slaughtered for an apple. So we must see to it our family is large. That'll be our defense. Understand?... We'll get married. The sooner the better.

Signora Frafuso: Please, Pasqualino, don't worry. Thank the Madonna for returning you to us. One mustn't look back on what's passed. It's so senseless. What's done is done. Look. Look at yourself, my son. You're beautiful. The war is ended. It's useless to think about these miseries. Pasqualino, you're alive. Alive!
Pasqualino Frafuso: ........ Yes, I'm alive.

Ghosts of War (2020)

Chris: Once we get there, it'll be cake. You guys can sleep for days.

Kirk: Is that any good?
Eugene: Oh, yeah, it's about a machine that's supposed to be a mental portal between dimensions, but it turns out, it's also a portal between times.
Kirk: You could've just said no.

Tappert: Earl Grey?

Eugene: Now I know why the last bunch was so desperate to amscray. I mean, this place is...
Chris: Haunted. Unless someone's got a better word for it.

Chris: What the hell does haunted even mean? Does that mean specific people have ghosts that are somehow anchored to the places they died? Or is it the places where evil's occurred that makes the portal to demonic forces? Or was evil simply a manmade concept in the first place?
Kirk: Look, evil is just... Well, it's what makes the violence so much fun.

Tappert: We're dead. Heaven fucking sucks.
Kirk: Unless it's the other place.
Eugene: Well, that's what they say, right? Hell is repetition? You know, most cultures have a version of hell where the dead relive their sinsover and over for eternity. Just trapped in a loop.

Chris: Your sim is haunted, you know.

Chris: There's a ghost in the machine. Or a computer virus, or a programmer with a fuck ton of issues, unless it's supposed to feel like you're in a horror movie.

Ann: None of it's real.
Chris: It's real when you're fucking in it!

The Beguiled (2017)

Corporal McBurney: Sixty-Sixth New York, ma'am. Grateful to be your prisoner.

Corporal McBurney: Tell me something, will you? Miss Morrow... If you could have anything, what's your biggest wish? If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?
Edwina: Anything?
Corporal McBurney: Yeah. Anything.
Edwina: To be taken far away from here.

Miss Martha: I have to say, when they saw me, they said, there is nothing more frightening than a startled woman with a gun.

Marie: He must get lonely eating alone in his room.
Alicia: We can show him some real Southern hospitality.

Miss Martha: Miss Alicia made the pie herself.
Alicia: I hope you like apple pie.
Corporal McBurney: I love apple pie. It's my favorite.
Edwina: Is that my recipe, Alicia?
Alicia: It is.
Amy: I picked the apples.
Corporal McBurney: They're delicious.
Marie: Apple pie is my favorite too.

Corporal McBurney: Well, a toast to you, Miss Martha, you must be the bravest woman I've ever known.
Miss Martha: No. No. All bravery is, is doing what is needed at the time.

Miss Martha: Tell me, Corporal... do you think this war will be over soon?
Corporal McBurney: Very soon, sooner than you Southerners are ready to admit.

Miss Martha: Hmm, that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna make a nice supper. We'll invite him for a big send-off. Prepare a smoked ham and we'll make biscuits and... And then we'll sauté the mushrooms in butter and wine...

Churchill (2017)

Winston Churchill: Beaches... always bring it back. Almost 30 years have gone now. So many young men. So much... waste.

Winston Churchill: I am choosing between trials and tribulations. Do stop adding to them.

Winston Churchill: "The soldiers have born their burden with pride..."
Jan Smuts: "The soldiers have born their burden with valor." Valor is better than pride.
Winston Churchill: "The soldiers have born their burden with valor."
Jan Smuts: "And pride."

Dwight Eisenhower: You haven't believed in this all along...
Winston Churchill: Someone had to speak on behalf of the ordinary fighting men.

Clemmie Churchill: Maybe you should listen to him.
Winston Churchill: Is everyone to overrule everything I say? The king appointed me Prime Minister of this country. And it's my duty, to lead them through this war!
Clemmie Churchill: Don't you see you aren't the only one capable of making decisions?
Winston Churchill: Is this about the war... or is it about you and me?
Clemmie Churchill: Do you want to be cuddled, Winston?
Winston Churchill: I would settle for some respect.
Clemmie Churchill: Then don't complain, when someone tells you the truth.

Jan Smuts: Being a great leader doesn't always mean seizing the glory. Sometimes you have to accept, that you cannot lead everything from of the front.
Winston Churchill: You and I are like two old lovebirds, mooting together on a perch, but still able to peck.

Winston Churchill: If you want me... to submit, to this... unquestionably dangerous plan, the least you can do is let me, lead my men into battle. I will not seat back in London with my paws crossed. listening to them being mooned down by German bullets from the wireless. I'll go with them. I shall share their fate.
Dwight Eisenhower: Don't ask me host your goddamn amateur theatrics! There is a war on!
Winston Churchill: I am not asking you to host anything. I shall be travelling to France as the King's Prime Minister, aboard the King's ship. And what's more, the King will be coming with me.
Dwight Eisenhower: What?!
Winston Churchill: His Majesty and I... are in complete agreement. We must be there... to lead the men. And there is nothing you or Monty can do about it.


King George VI: The right thing to do, is what normally falls to those at the top on such occasions... to remain at home. And wait.

King George VI: Everyone thinks they are the most powerful man in the world. Until not allowed to do... anything at all. My job... is not to fight, not to die. I must... exist. And be gracious... tonight. Bring hope. And that is my duty. And it is yours... too.
Winston Churchill: My duty...

King George VI: Britain will thank you for it, Winston. I believe all of us will. Forever.

Winston Churchill: I cannot work if I am surrounded by such incompetence. I'll show Brooke and Monty, what it takes to be a real general. I will show them, how great men win their wars.
Clemmie Churchill: Stop it! Just stop it! Brooke and Eisenhower and Monty are fighting this war and you just keep getting in their way.
Winston Churchill: I am Prime Minister of this country!
Clemmie Churchill: Exactly.
Winston Churchill: And minister of defense!
Clemmie Churchill: Don't pull rank, makes you seem small.

Winston Churchill: So many young men... Same as in the last war. Barely more than boys.
Clemmie Churchill: They have grown up with this war. They are brave.
Winston Churchill: Too young to know how to be afraid.

Clemmie Churchill: What will you say tomorrow?
Winston Churchill: I don't know. Depends on the news.
Clemmie Churchill: No it doesn't. Whatever happens tonight, you must give them hope. Even if 20,000 men are dead, you can't lead their wives and mothers and children thinking, they have died for no reason. You must stand with them, make their sacrifice have a purpose. Make them believe that by God, they will win this war.
Winston Churchill: And I'll do it with them. For that is my duty. Isn't it?

Winston Churchill: Fighting is what I have always done.. It's the core of who I am. If I do this, if I make this speech, I won't be fighting any more.
Clemmie Churchill: No, you won't.
Winston Churchill: Who will I be, when it's all over? If we win or it ends in disaster? What will I be, if I'm no longer fighting?
Clemmie Churchill: You will always be the man, who let us through this.

Black Hawk Down (2001)

Atto: Don't think because I grew up without running water... I am simple, General. I do know something about history. See all this? It's simply shaping tomorrow. A tomorrow without a lot of Arkansas white boys' ideas in it.
Garrison: Well, I wouldn't know about that. I'm from Texas.
Atto: Mr. Garrison, I think you shouldn't have come here. This is civil war. This is our war. Not yours.
Garrison: 300,000 dead and counting. That's not a war, Mr. Atto. That's genocide.

Todd Blackburn: That's a nice beach down there. How's the water?
Durant: Yeah, it's nice and warm. And it's loaded with sharks.

Pilla: Eversmann, you really like the skinnies?
Eversmann: It's not that I like them or I don't like them. I respect them.
Pilla: See, what you guys fail to realize is the sergeant is a bit of an idealist. He believes in this mission down to his bones. Don't you, Sergeant?
Eversmann: Look, these people, they have no jobs... No food, no education, no future. I just figure that, I mean, we have two things that we can do. We can help... Or we can sit back and watch the country destroy itself on CNN. Right?
Kurth: I don't know about you guys, but I was trained to fight. Are you trained to fight, Sergeant?
Eversmann: Well, I think I was trained to make a difference, Kurth.

Matthews: What's the matter, Danny? Something you don't like?
McKnight: No Spectre gunships, daylight instead of night... Afternoon when they're all fucked up on khat... Only part of the city Aidid can mount a counter-attack on short notice.... What's not to like?
Harell: Life's imperfect.
McKnight: For you two, circling above it at 500 feet, it's imperfect. Down in the street, it's unforgiving.


Eversmann: You know, it's kind of funny. Beautiful beach, beautiful sun. Could almost be a good place to visit...
Hoot: Almost.
Eversmann: You don't think we should be here.
Hoot: You know what I think? It don't really matter what I think. Once that first bullet goes past your head, politics and all that shit... Just goes right out the window.
Eversmann: I just want to do it right today.
Hoot: Just watch your corner. Get all your men back here alive.

Pilla: Colonel, they're shooting at us! Colonel, they're shooting at us!
McKnight: Well, shoot back!

Aidid: That's right. None of you Americans smoke anymore. You all live long, dull, uninteresting lives.

Durant: What do you want with me?
Aidid: You have taken hostages. We have you.
Durant: My government will never negotiate for me.
Aidid: Then perhaps you and I can negotiate, huh? Soldier to soldier.
Durant: I'm not in charge.
Aidid: Course not. You have the power to kill, but not negotiate.

Aidid: In Somalia, killing is negotiation. Do you really think if you get General Aidid... We will simply put down our weapons... And adopt American democracy? That the killing will stop? We know this: Without victory, there can be no peace. There will always be killing, you see? This is how things are in our world.

Garrison: No one gets left behind.

Hoot: See, you're thinking. Don't. Because, Sergeant, you can't control who gets hit or who doesn't. Who falls out of a chopper or why. It ain't up to you. It's just war.

Hoot: When I go home... And people ask me: "Hey, Hoot, why do you do it, man? "Why? You some kind of war junkie?" I won't say a goddamn word. Why? They won't understand. They won't understand why we do it. They won't understand it's about the men next to you. And that's it. That's all it is.

The Outpost (2020)

- At least we have a garden.
- A real Garden of Eden.
Romesha: Gotta be shitting me...
- Look at this place.
- Yeah, the Taliban have a nice fucking view of us, don't they? ... They usually come up that draw, on the back side, take a few fucking shots, and then just, like, get the hell out.
Scusa: Aren't we supposed to be on top of the mountain to win this thing?
Kirk: Don't be logical, Scusa.

- Shit. I love getting fucked in this shit bowl.
- Man, we're not fucked. Maybe this place is like an opportunity, you know?
- Yeah, how do we protect this piece of shit?
Romesha: Better question would be, "Why?"

Gallegos: You can't argue and fight at the same time.
Yunger: What?
Gallegos: You can't argue and fight at the same time. Don't do it again.

- Maybe he should forfeit some pay...
Keating: Pay don't mean nothing to these guys out here. You take away their free time, it's like being in prison.

Keating: So how do we do our jobs and stay safe? We need to keep a good relationship with the locals. Respect keeps us safe.

Keating: You're in command now. Please, try not to invade Pakistan or something.
Romesha: I'll do my best, sir.

Keating: We're gonna win by getting their hearts and minds.
Kirk: Yeah, we want their hearts and minds, and they want our blood and guts, right?

Mace: Hey, what do you think? You think new boss is gonna make us do a fucking patrol every time they take a pot shot at us?
Kirk: Never try to understand officer, Mace. A different breed. They even fuck with the lights on.


Gallegos: What's that, Ro?
Romesha: Dead Americans.
Gallegos: Goddamn, you're a fucking buzzkill, man.
Romesha: Every time they take a pot shot at us, they're figuring us out. When the big one comes, they'll have us dialed in.

Carter: And how would do it, if you were them?
Romesha: What?
Carter: How would you do it, if you were them?
Romesha: How would I do it?... Well, first I'd knock out our mortar pit. Without that, we're fucked. Then I'd start hammering our stand-to trucks, armored Humvees, especially LRAS 2. That protects our mortars. Take out our ammo depot, so we can't resupply. And then I'd hit our generator, effectively kill our comms. And then I'd start sending fighters on the switchbacks. It'd be a race to get inside the wire before air support.
Carter: Yeah, but even then it's gonna take a few hours. The B1s come all the way from fucking Qatar.
Romesha: Yeah, that's right, Carter. Yeah. I'd get inside our cab, take our ECP, divide us in half. Pretty much then we're fucked.
Gallegos: Goddamn it, Ro. Who the fuck pissed in your Cheerios?
Romesha: Well, sorry, pal. But that's life at Camp Keating.
Carter: Any thought how we stop 'em, Sarge?
Romesha: We don't.

Mohammed: Sir, do you know what the problem is? The British invaded us, and they didn't listen to us. They thought we were stupid. They were crushed down... The Russians invaded us. They thought we were stupid, and they were crushed down... And now you make the same mistake, sir!

Bundermann: The Taliban cannot fucking find out about this. All right? None of this gets talked about in Skype, radio, emails, nothing. Check?.. Because, guys, our mission from now on is what it's always been... To survive.

Carter: I can get to him. Larson, I can fucking get to him. He's right fucking there.
Larson: Dead bodies attract dead bodies, all right? I don't want you trying to win a fucking medal.

Carter: I'm breathing. I'm breathing. I'm-- I'm breathing.

Captain Krause: I will always be looking for you, Evie. No matter where I am. Even if I'm a thousand miles away, I will be hoping I'll see you come around the corner. Because when you do, it's the greatest feeling in the world.

Gray Wolf: Greyhound. Greyhound, Greyhound. This is Gray Wolf. We hunt you and your friends Eagle, Dicky and Harry. We watch your ships sinking into the deep. We hear the screams of your comrades as they die. How many of them will there be before you join them? The Gray Wolf is so very hungry. Your women will learn of your dying...
Captain Krause: Greyhound to all escorts.
Gray Wolf: ...and weep into the long night before...
Captain Krause: Switch TBS traffic to channel Zebra.
Gray Wolf: ...they turn to the arms of their lovers.
Captain Krause: Execute.

Captain Krause: I wouldn't need to take this risk if I'd been smarter yesterday.

Land of Mine (2015)

Captain Ebbe Jensen: For all those who don't know why they're here, you've been brought to Denmark to clean up after the war. Denmark is not your friend. Make sure you understand that. Don't expect the Danish people to welcome you with open arms. No one wants to see Germans here. You only serve one purpose for us. To clear Denmark's west coast of German landmines. Mines that you brought here. Approximately 2.2 million landmines are buried along the Danish west coast. That's more than in all the other European countries...

Sgt. Carl Rasmussen: Can you all see the black flag down there?
— Yes, Sergeant!
Sgt. Carl Rasmussen: Between the black flag and the trail 45,000 mines are buried. You will defuse all of them. When you're finished, you're free to go home. Is that understood?
— Yes, sir!
Sgt. Carl Rasmussen: Only then can you go home. Understood?
— Yes, Sergeant!
Sgt. Carl Rasmussen: Assuming you defuse six mines an hour and don't blow yourself up, you'll be home in three months. Is that understood?
— Yes, Sergeant!

Sgt. Carl Rasmussen: You should have told me that I was getting little boys, Ebbe. It changes the situation somewhat.
Captain Ebbe Jensen: I don't think so. If you're old enough to go to war, you're old enough to clean up your mess.
Sgt. Carl Rasmussen: These boys haven't got a clue.
Captain Ebbe Jensen: No? So fill them in, Carl. That's your job. You're not beginning to like them, are you?
Sgt. Carl Rasmussen: No.
Captain Ebbe Jensen: Remember what they did. Rather them than us.

Megan Leavey (2017)

Megan Leavey: In the end, you don't leave because you have somewhere to go. You leave because there's nothing keeping you there.

Megan Leavey: Master Sergeant, I'm sorry...
Master Sergeant: Shut up. Don't mess with me, it brings out my Irish.

Master Sergeant: Why are you here in the Marines? You don't know, do you? Well, I do. You think you're the first entitled brat with a chip on her shoulder who's come through my ranks? This institution is for heroes, not little punks all screwed up in the head because their mommies and daddies didn't love them enough. But you're in my corps now, and I will not see you disrespect the men and women who made the Marines great!

Megan Leavey: You think I'm afraid of you? Okay. I am afraid of you. But don't think I can't make you afraid of me, too.

Megan Leavey: Gunny, how do I become a dog handler?
Gunny Martin: You?
Megan Leavey: Yeah. What do I have to do exactly?
Gunny Martin: For starters, you need to stop screwing up. Then, you'll need an expert rifle score, above 90% on all your exams, a first class PFT, and you know who gets those things? People who aren't full of shit.

Gunny Martin: They aren't pets. They aren't even dogs anymore. They're warriors, and they come back with all the same issues we do.

Bob: Baby, I know that you feel like you lost everything. I know what that feels like. But the thing is, you gotta keep living.
Megan Leavey: I am living.
Bob: No, you're not. This isn't living. You gotta figure out what it would take to make it worth it.
Megan Leavey: Rex would be worth it.

Bob: There are a few people in life, not many, that you gotta find a way for. If you needed something, I would do whatever it took, not because I'm any kind of great dad, but because how I love you is stronger than what I'm not. I want you to be a person who shows up for work, for your friends' funerals, for life.
Megan Leavey: I've tried, I failed.
Bob: So fail again. And just keep failing until they're tossing dirt on your corpse. Baby, all you gotta do is fight, and you know how to fight. You're a frickin' Marine.

Джонатан Литтелл — Благоволительницы

цитаты | Благоволительницы | Джонатан Литтелл | WWII | Nazi | Germany | Nazis | Holocaust | Final Solution
  “Люди-братья, позвольте рассказать вам, как все было. ...
&  Долго-долго ползаешь по земле, как гусеница, ждешь, когда выпорхнет на волю прекрасная воздушная бабочка, прячущаяся внутри тебя. Время идет, а червяк в куколку не превращается, — прискорбный факт, но что поделать?

&  ...самоубийство не по мне. Впрочем, непонятно почему, скорее всего, из-за морально-философских пережитков, заставляющих меня повторять, что мы здесь не для развлечения. Для чего же тогда? Я не знаю, наверное, чтобы пожить подольше, чтобы убивать время, пока оно не убьет нас.

&  Несмотря на перипетии, которых на моем веку было множество, я принадлежу к людям, искренне полагающим, что человеку на самом деле необходимо лишь дышать, есть, пить, испражняться, искать истину. Остальное необязательно.

&  Нет, самое трудное и утомительное состояние, когда нечем заняться и начинаешь размышлять.

&  Даже человек, который никогда не воевал, не убивал по приказу, прочувствует то, о чем я говорю. Припомнит мелкие подлости, трусость, лживость, мелочность — любому есть о чем сокрушаться. Неудивительно, что люди изобрели работу, алкоголь, пустой треп. Неудивительно, что телевидение пользуется успехом.

&  ...надеюсь в отдаленном будущем достичь состояния благодати Херонимо Надаля, не иметь пристрастий за исключением единственного — ни к чему не иметь пристрастия.

&  Позвольте мне еще одну цитату, и хватит, обещаю. В качестве вывода я использую изречение Софокла: «Не родиться совсем — удел лучший». Примерно о том же говорит и Шопенгауэр: «Если ближайшая и непосредственная цель нашей жизни не есть страдание, то наше существование представляет самое бестолковое и нецелесообразное явление». И добавляет: «Хотя каждое отдельное несчастье и представляется исключением, но несчастье вообще — есть правило». Да, знаю, уже две цитаты, но идея общая: так и есть, мы живем в худшем из возможных миров.

Capt. Stefan Brandt: What's the point of killing an old man that's been out of power for 20 years?
Gestapo Inspector Dietrich: Personally, I couldn't care less. He is everything that was wrong with old Germany. Where was he while we were all starving?.. If anything happens to him, Captain, you'll be shot. And I will do it.

Kaiser Wilhelm II: If you had been in command of the German army, would you have invaded Holland?
Mieke de Jong: Why, yes, Your Highness. Of course.
Kaiser Wilhelm II: I see. And what precisely is your military objective?
Mieke de Jong: Well, it's very nice.
Kaiser Wilhelm II: What is?
Mieke de Jong: Holland.
Kaiser Wilhelm II: Goddamn, Sigurd. She's better than half the General Staff!

Kaiser Wilhelm II: You know, I don't mind telling you, if I was a hundred years younger... Oh, never mind.

Kaiser Wilhelm II: You know, Sigurd, I've been thinking. Tonight we'll have fish.

Capt. Stefan Brandt: Will there be anything else, Your Highness?
Kaiser Wilhelm II: No, thank you, Sigurd. There will be absolutely nothing.


Capt. Stefan Brandt: What else is there?
Mieke de Jong: I'm Jewish.
Capt. Stefan Brandt: ..... I'm not.

Capt. Stefan Brandt: You have someone, somewhere?
Mieke de Jong: If I did, you wouldn't be here. And you, Captain? No girl anywhere?
Capt. Stefan Brandt: If I did, I'd still be here.

Kaiser Wilhelm II: Now, I have many vices. Hypocrisy is not one of them.

Capt. Stefan Brandt: You used me!
Mieke de Jong: I used myself.

Capt. Stefan Brandt: Colonel. I've been wondering something... Can an officer have a loyalty to anything greater than his country?
Col. Sigurd von Ilsemann: First, he must answer the question... "What is my country... and does it even still exist?"

Kaiser Wilhelm II: You're the secret agent. Marvelous.

Kaiser Wilhelm II: You... you won't believe... I... I just received a message from Britain's Prime Minister. The boy, Churchill. ... He was offering me exile in England, and then, when the war ends, the throne of a defeated Germany. Imagine that! Two offers in one night. Not bad, huh? After 20 years.
