• Lizzi Spoekenkieker : Do you know what they say in Mexico? Mexicans loathe the Americans, hate the Spaniards, distrust the English, admire the French, and love the Germans.

  Rieber : That is all very nice. I am glad they say those things, but, as far as I am concerned, after a few weeks in Mexico, you can keep the Mexicans too.

• Rieber : Shall we play again? Or, perhaps, I might suggest another game.

  Lizzi Spoekenkieker : What game?

  Rieber : Any game! One which *you* might win.

  Lizzi Spoekenkieker : What game do you mean?

  Rieber : You have no idea?

  Lizzi Spoekenkieker : I will not let you talk that way to me!

  [turns around to leave, Rieber spanks her behind with a ping pong paddle] 

  Rieber : So!

  Lizzi Spoekenkieker : Oh!

  Rieber : I'm sorry.

  Lizzi Spoekenkieker : How dare you!

  Rieber : I could not resist.

• Rieber : I have lately got a doctor to do a series of articles advocating the extermination of all the unfit - at birth.

  Lizzi Spoekenkieker : That's the way it's with Herr Rieber. He is thinking all the time.

  Rieber : All this will be accomplished painlessly, of course. Painlessly! Not only defective or useless children, but the old too. All persons over - 60 or 65, perhaps. The same measures will be taken with Jews, of course, and any illegitimate mixtures of race. White with colored of any kind. Chinese. Negroes. And for any white man convicted of any serious crime.
