Quotes 

• Kurt Schröder : Bambi, every time I look at you I think: such an innocent face and such a complicated woman.

  Bambi : You know what?

  Kurt Schröder : What?

  Bambi : You're a louse.

• Kurt Schröder : I'm sick and tired of listening to people who always want what they can't get!

• Erika Jurgens : You people are always saying something is impossible. Because it gives you an excuse for doing nothing. It's the same at home. All my father worries about is our fine furniture and his next promotion.

  Kurt Schröder : Your father is a very sensible man!

  Erika Jurgens : I don't want to live with that. I want to get away from everybody who accepts this world as if it were right and normal. I want to get out!

• Kurt Schröder : Blessed are the decent, because they shall inherit a kick in the teeth.

• Kurt Schröder : Excuse me, Major. I'm having a lot of trouble with the fan belt. But, it takes them such a long time to do anything at that garage.

  Major Eckhardt : So?

  Kurt Schröder : I've got a lot of stuff at home. If I could take the car for a few hours, I could fix it myself.

  Major Eckhardt : When?

  Kurt Schröder : Oh, any time. This evening!

  Major Eckhardt : Ah! This - eh - stuff you've got at home, Schröder, which is it? Blonde or brunette?

• Erika Jurgens : Maybe we're crazy; but, the idea of being free is in our minds now. And in the end, we'll try!

  Kurt Schröder : Wait! If you really want to go across, I'll give you a little advice. You don't go over the wall and you don't go through. You go this way - under.
