-
Hannelore : God in heaven, I never thought I'd eat real ham again. Aren't you gonna have any?

-
Colonel Muller : Champagne from the cellar of Admiral Donitz. Care for some?
Jake Geismer : I wouldn't want it to go to waste.

Lena Brandt : Did you ever fuck a Nazi?
Jake Geismer : Cut it out.

Jake Geismer : You did nothing wrong!
Lena Brandt : I survived.
