Bernie Teitel Nothing better for a prosecutor than a criminal with a sense of history. Everything got written down. Who they killed, and what it cost. Meticulous record-keepers.

🧡

Bernie Teitel This guy? Drove one of the gas vans. They'd load the Jews in back, run the exhaust inside.

[inhales]

Bernie Teitel By the time they got where they were going, they were already dead. Very efficient. Driving to work, he killed more people than Al Capone in all his years in Chicago. But if you asked him, he isn't a murderer, he's a truck driver. And he still thinks that.

Congressman Breimer Nothing wrong with the Germans. Plenty of good German folk back in Schenectady.

Congressman Breimer I bet you can't wait to go home, huh, soldier?

🥱

Jake Geismer Well, there's a piece that would sell: ''Fallen Women of the Third Reich.''

Patrick Tully That's pretty raw, sir.

Jake Geismer Millions of people didn't disappear because the elves came out at night. Your Fraulein knew exactly what Hitler was doing. They all knew. Did she lift a finger?

Patrick Tully You don't know a thing about her.

Jake Geismer And you do?

Patrick Tully Just because you're a German doesn't make you a Nazi.

Lena Brandt I forget sometimes what a boy you are. Such a boy. A sweet little boy.

🧡

Jake Geismer I just had to find her again. I knew the bartender would help. Tell a bartender you're looking for a friend and suddenly you have two friends: him - and the girl he steers you to.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

General Sikorsky Now, let me do you a favor. You remind me of my son, a little bit of a buffoon, but good-natured. Get out. Now. Before you get hurt.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Jake Geismer I just didn't expect I'd find her like this. I didn't expect I'd find her.

Danny When you say to yourself, ''That's the worst thing I've ever heard,'' stick around. That's Berlin. Now it is. There's always something worse.

🥱

Colonel Muller Were you with Corporal Tully last night?

Jake Geismer I was in a club up till dawn drinking with the bartender if your Girl Friday had bothered to check.

🧡

Jake Geismer You live here with someone?

Hannelore Big man. You want two girls?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Hannelore Skinny Lena. A big Yank in the saddle, you'd break her in two.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Colonel Muller The Russians want this to go away. An American serviceman turns up dead in Potsdam on the eve of the peace conference? It's pretty damn embarrassing. Good news for you, frankly. We want it to go away too.

🧡

Lena Brandt The war, it's convenient. We can all blame everything on the war.

🧡

👏

🥺

🥱

Hannelore The princess, who knows where she is? Lena was raped by the Russians. You'll get yourself a good dose.

Jake Geismer I apologize if I hurt your feelings.

Hannelore She's not so special. They raped everyone: cripples, children.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Lena Brandt I think if you hadn't left, Jacob, nothing would be any different. Nothing. lf. lf you want to stay, it's 500 marks. Make up your mind. I'm going to sleep.

🧡

🥱

Hannelore Good. An old-fashioned one. Fuck in the bed. Easy on the knees.

[takes off her dress and lays in bed]

Hannelore Come. Fuck me, Dutch.

[slaps her bare thighs]

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Hannelore Five hundred just to talk. That's what I call a real pervert.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Congressman Breimer Now, listen, I'm the first to recognize there were excesses in the Nazi leadership. But if we besmirch an entire people because of a few bad apples - we're no better than Hitler. Then it's not about war crimes at all. It's about revenge.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Lena Brandt The Americans were looking for Emil, so he offered him to the Russians. One of his schemes. Stupid. A way to get money to get me out of Germany. Sell them a dead man. Now he's dead too. Maybe you next, if you don't watch yourself.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

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

Jake Geismer None for me.

Hannelore No? Is that a Jewish name, Jacob?

Jake Geismer The way you're eating that ham could turn anyone kosher.

🧡

🥱

Colonel Muller I wouldn't put too much stock in that SS stuff. When I was at West Point, we'd put a uniform on a mule.

🧡

👏

🥺

🥱

Lena Brandt All these men. They want you to cry in their arms. I had no more tears. I knew what I had become.

Colonel Muller Champagne from the cellar of Admiral Donitz. Care for some?

Jake Geismer I wouldn't want it to go to waste.

Colonel Muller Size of the bubbles. Smaller the better, that's the key to champagne. This time last year I was in Anzio, up to my balls in mud.

Jake Geismer Six months ago I was freezing my ass off in the Ardennes. The good old days. When you could tell who the bad guy was by who was shooting at you.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Hannelore Very dramatic, the princess. Don't believe her. She didn't give two shits for him, alive or dead. Dragging around that shrine of crap and papers. Meanwhile, fucking with you the whole time before the war. She'd make you a good wife, Lena. She knows *all* the tricks.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Colonel Muller What do you think this peace conference is really about, who gets Poland? The future. That's why everyone's come to Potsdam. What do the next hundred years look like? All those V-2 rockets that hit London during the war. Well, you were there. lf it lasted another year, that would have been New York, Chicago.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Bernie Teitel Be honest with yourself for a change, Jake. Has anything good happened since you came back?

🧡

👏

🥱

Congressman Breimer You've seen what months of bombing can do to a city. Imagine one bomb could do the same thing. One bomb. Stick it on the end of a rocket, press a button here, goes off over there. Anywhere, halfway around the world. That's the future. The future of mankind's in our hands. It's our destiny.

Lena Brandt You got a john for me? A rich one?

Danny I've got a bloke in the club who'll give you a thousand marks. Thinking about it. When I met you, you'd have a go for a can of tuna.

🥱

Lena Brandt You want it straight or something special?

Jake Geismer What's special?

Lena Brandt Whatever you want.

🥱

Lena Brandt I'm a Nazi myself, did you know that? It's true.

Jake Geismer You're not a Nazi.

Lena Brandt No, not a Nazi. None of us. Just something to join, like a sport club. How could you fuck someone for all those years and not know them?

Jake Geismer Stop it.

Lena Brandt Did you ever fuck a Nazi?

Jake Geismer Cut it out.

Lena Brandt How about a Jew?

Jake Geismer Why won't you let me help you?

Lena Brandt A Nazi and a Jew both, better yet.

Jake Geismer You did nothing wrong!

Lena Brandt I survived.

🧡

🥱

Lena Brandt As the wife of an SS man, I was exempt. ''A Jewess is not a Jew,'' that's the way they used to put it. It's not something I have ever told anyone. And at the end - no one was exempt.

🥱

Harry S. Truman [voice on the radio] We are fighting for peace and for the welfare of mankind. There's not one piece of territory, or one thing of a monetary nature that we want out of this war. We want peace and prosperity for the world as a whole.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Congressman Breimer No sense beating up on the Germans anymore. The Russians are the enemy now. They're godless people. Go down to the rail yard and see for yourself. Anything's not nailed down, they're taking it, sending it to Moscow.

🧡

👏

🥺

🥱

Colonel Muller We're not gonna start World War III over some dumb GI who got his dick stuck in a pitch pot.

🧡

Danny Tully? He's not a bad sort. Just a bit of a cunt.

🧡

🥺

🤔

🥱

Patrick Tully You can say what you want about the war. Certainly, I would never wish for all those millions of people to die; but, the war - was the best thing that ever happened to me. Because, when you have money, then, for the first time in your life, you understand *it* - what money does for you. Where before all you understood was not having it. Money allows you to be who you truly are.

Jake Geismer She could get people to do things, and they didn't know how she did it.

Lena Brandt A Factory inside a Mountain. Tunnels where the American bombs couldn't reach. What were once sulfur mines. Someone had to take them out. Slave labor. Prisoners, detainees. That was how they built the rockets. Emil was asked to calculate how much to feed them...... to keep them alive just three months until the tunnels were completed. It's here, in his notebooks. Eight hundred calories a day. After that, let them die and bring in new workers. The correct answer, it turned out. It was more efficient. They called it Dora. Camp Dora. Thirty thousand died in that camp. Bettmann ran it.Every detail.He hanged people from a crane right outside his office window.

Patrick Tully The whole city spread its legs for you. All that ''eat, drink, and be merry'' bullshit, ''seize the day.'' It sure didn't make anyone smarter. And the best part of it was no one got hurt. There was too much money floating around for anybody to fall down without a nice soft cushion. Occupation Marks printed just for us. Funny money. It didn't feel like losing it when they lost it. The Russians, they had to spend it before they went home. Which was all anyone talked about: going home. Everyone. Even the Russians! God, who would ever want to?

Patrick Tully You see any action?

Jake Geismer I was in London when Franz Bettmann aimed his Roman candles about a hundred feet away from me. Broke all my martini glasses.
