Fredrick Zoller Quotes in Inglourious Basterds (2009)

Fredrick Zoller: [shouting to the camera, acting in Nation's Pride] Who wants to send a message to Germany?

[Nation's Pride is interrupted by Shosanna's movie]

Shosanna Dreyfus: I have a message for Germany.

[Hitler and Goebbels watch in shock]

Shosanna Dreyfus: [her image on the screen smirks] That you are all going to die.

Adolf Hitler: [yelling in German] Enough! Stop it!

Joseph Goebbels: [yelling in German] Turn off the projector!

Shosanna Dreyfus: And I want you to look deep into the face of the Jew that is going to do it!

Joseph Goebbels: [in German as the audience begins to shout in protest and anger] I don't know what's going on! That does not belong in my movie!

Shosanna Dreyfus: [her image on the screen smiles] Marcel... burn it down.

Marcel: [standing behind the screen, he smiles] Oui, Shosanna.

Joseph Goebbels: [in German; subtitled] How many seats in your auditorium?

Francesca Mondino: [translates into French]

Shosanna Dreyfus: [in French; subtitled] Three hundred and fifty.

Francesca Mondino: [translates into German]

Joseph Goebbels: That's almost four hundred less than the Ritz.

Fredrick Zoller: [in German] But Herr Goebbels, that's not such a bad thing. You said yourself you didn't want to indulge every two-faced French bourgeois taking up space currying favor. With less seats it makes the event more exclusive. You're not trying to fill the house, they're fighting for seats. Besides, to hell with the French. This is a German night, a German event, a German celebration. This night is for you, me, the German military, the High Command, their family and friends. The only people who should be allowed in the room are the people who will be moved by the exploits on the screen.

Joseph Goebbels: [after a pause] I see your public speaking has improved.

Fredrick Zoller: [to Shosanna] It's been a pleasure chatting with a fellow cinema lover.

Shosanna Dreyfus: [in French] I don't wish to be your friend.

Fredrick Zoller: Why not?

Shosanna Dreyfus: Don't act like an infant. You know why.

Fredrick Zoller: I'm more than just a uniform.

Shosanna Dreyfus: Not to me. If you are so desperate for a French girlfriend, I suggest you try Vichy.
