Quotes 

• Greenberg : Mr. Rawitch, what you are, I wouldn't eat.

  Rawitch : How dare you call me a ham!

• Greenberg : You want my opinion, Mr. Dobosh?

  Dobosh, Theatrical Producer : No, Mr. Greenberg, I do *not* want your opinion.

  Greenberg : All right... let me give you my reaction.

• Dobosh, Theatrical Producer : If we can manage that Greenberg suddenly pops up among all those Nazis...

  Greenberg : It'll get a terrific laugh.

  [a line he says several times earlier in the film] 

• Greenberg : A laugh is nothing to be sneezed at.

• Greenberg : [shoveling snow after the theater's have been closed by the Nazis]  "If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?"

  Bronski : What a Shylock you would've been.

• Joseph Tura : [disguised as a Gestapo officer]  What do you want from the Führer?

  Greenberg : What does he want from us? What does he want from Poland? Why possess us? Why? Why? Aren't we human? Have we not eyes? Have we not hands? Organs? Senses? Dimensions? Affections? Passions? Feed with the same food? Hurt with the same weapons? Subject to the same diseases? Healed by the same means? Cooled and warmed by the same winter and summer? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? If you wrong us, shall we not revenge?

• Joseph Tura : [disguised as a Gestapo officer]  How did you get here?

  Greenberg : I was born here.
