Quotes
-
Mrs. Traub - Fritz's Landlady : Contests! Contests! Always you are winning contests. An electric train, a pool table - what is this to me? I want my rent.
Fritz Hagedorn : Oh, you're forgetting, Mrs. Traub. Only last month I gave you a washing machine.
Mrs. Traub - Fritz's Landlady : Yes, and a refrigerator and a set of China ware, and a pair of the dachshunds, and a reducing machine. But this time, I want money.
-
Fritz Hagedorn : I was just trying to fit my skis into my compartment.
Hilde Tobler : Well, I'm glad you told me. I thought you were trying to break my leg.
-
Fritz Hagedorn : [to Rudolph Tobler who is incognito as Edward Schultz] If Mr. Tobler's half as bad as Mr. Kesselhut said he was, I'm glad I didn't meet him.
Rudolph Tobler : [as Edward Schultz] Well, would he... .
[Mumbles as they are joined at the table]
-
Rudolph Tobler : [Incognito as Edward Schultz to his valet who is impersonating a wealthy industrialist] Well, Mr. Kesselhut, Mr. Hagedorn here tells me you know Mr. Tobler. What kind of a man is he?
Johann Kesselhut : Oh, uh, a very fine gentleman.
Fritz Hagedorn : Oh, that's all right, Mr. Kesselhut. You can trust Mr. Schultz, heh, heh. Go on, tell him about Mr. Tobler being a jackass.
Rudolph Tobler : [Incognito as Schultz] Oh, he's a jackass, is he?
Johann Kesselhut : Oh, well, I wouldn't say that.
Rudolph Tobler : [as Schultz] Are you calling Mr. Hagedorn a liar?
-
Fritz Hagedorn : Well, isn't there something I can do?
Mrs. Irene Mallebre : You might ask me to dance.
Fritz Hagedorn : I hardly expected to be rewarded for my clumsiness.
-
Fritz Hagedorn : You broke my skis.
Hilde Tobler : Good! That makes us even.
Mrs. Kunkel : Who is that man?
Hilde Tobler : I don't know. Mirror, Kunkel.
Mrs. Kunkel : [Holding up a mirror for her] That's the kind of riffraff you meet on these trips.
-
Mrs. Traub - Fritz's Landlady : How much did you win?
Fritz Hagedorn : Two weeks' vacation. A vacation, and I haven't worked in a year.
-
Hilde Tobler : You know, the first time I met you, I didn't like you at all.
Fritz Hagedorn : Go on.
Hilde Tobler : But the second time... .I liked you as much.
-
Fritz Hagedorn : In case we get killed, who are you?
Hilde Tobler : In case we get killed, it doesn't matter.
-
Fritz Hagedorn : What's that over there?
Hilde Tobler : What?
Fritz Hagedorn : [Pointing] There.
Hilde Tobler : Looks like a door.
Fritz Hagedorn : This side does. Before we jump at any conclusions, let's look at the other side.
Hilde Tobler : Yes, then if it matches, we'll know it's a door.
Fritz Hagedorn : That's right.
-
Fritz Hagedorn : I'm glad you're poor. It's not so bad, this world of ours. We may be struggling, but at least we're alive. When we taste good food, it's an adventure - not an everyday incident. When we dance or skate or have a good time, we remember it always. And we marry not blinded by doing the same thing night after night. When we fall in love, we then are loved for ourselves alone.
-
Fritz Hagedorn : They call these marchones.
Hilde Tobler : Hmmm.
Fritz Hagedorn : If a villager or guide is taken by accident, his family builds one of these little shrines on the spot where he met his death.
-
Mrs. Irene Mallebre : Are you staying for the season, Mr. Hagedorn?
Fritz Hagedorn : I'm afraid not - my limit's two weeks. And you?
Mrs. Irene Mallebre : Well, that all depends. You see, I just keep running away from loneliness. Ever since my husband, uh...
Fritz Hagedorn : You husband?
Mrs. Irene Mallebre : Yes. He was taken from me three years ago. When I was just a child.
Fritz Hagedorn : Dead?
Mrs. Irene Mallebre : No, divorced.
-
Rudolph Tobler : [Incognito, as Edward Schultz] Well, here's to our vacations. May we all get what we're after.
Fritz Hagedorn : I can't understand the management giving me these rooms. Kittens, brandy, hot bricks, heh...
Rudolph Tobler : Yeah, well, perhaps they think that you're a millionaire in disguise.
[They both laugh]
-
Fritz Hagedorn : Have you had an accident?
Mrs. Kunkel : You call being buried alive an accident?
-
Fritz Hagedorn : So, that's why you hired me - to buy me for your daughter. Well, you can't do it. I'm through.
-
Mrs. Kunkel : You, you weasel.
Fritz Hagedorn : You old battle ax.
-
Fritz Hagedorn , Hilde Tobler : Suppose somebody should ask me who you are. What do I tell 'em?
Hilde Tobler : Tell 'em you don't know.
