Henckels Quotes in The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

Henckels: By order of the commissioner of police, Zubrowka Province, I hereby place you under arrest for the murder of Madame Celine Villenueve Desgoffe-und-Taxis.

M. Gustave: I knew there was something fishy. We never got the cause of death. She's been murdered, and you think I did it.

[runs away]

Henckels: Who's shooting who?

Dmitri: That's Gustave H., the escaped murderer and art thief! I've got him cornered!

M. Gustave: That's Dmitri Desgoffe und Taxis! He's responsible for the killing of Deputy Kovacs, Serge X and his club-footed sister, plus his own mother!

[pause]

Henckels: Nobody move; everybody's under arrest.

M. Gustave: Why are we stopping at a Barley Field?

[Title Card: 19th October, The Closing of the Frontier]

M. Gustave: [the train comes to a stop, the Doors to the cabin room swing open, soldiers stand at the doorway]

M. Gustave: Well, Hello there, chaps.

Franz: Documents, please.

M. Gustave: With pleasure.

[Hands the officer his papers]

M. Gustave: It's not a very flattering portrait, I'm afraid, I was once considered a great beauty.

[Notices the soldier's name tag, it reads: "Cpl F. Müller."]

M. Gustave: What's the F. Stand for, Fritz? Franz?

Franz: Franz.

M. Gustave: [Cheerfully] I knew it!

[Zero hands the soldier his papers]

M. Gustave: He's making a funny face.

M. Gustave: [to the soldier] That's a Migatory Visa with stage three worker status, Franz darling, he's with me.

Franz: [Hesitates, looks at Zero] Come outside, please.

M. Gustave: Now wait a minute, sit down, Zero. His papers are in order, I crossed referenced them myself with The Bureau of Labor and Servitude. You can't arrest him simply because he's a bloody immigrant, he hasn't done anything wrong!

[a moment of disbelief, the soldier looks, then grabs Zero by the arm and rises him from his seat. A light struggle breaks out, Gustave, angered, yells at them]

M. Gustave: Stop it! Stop, damn you!

Zero: Never mind, Mousier Gustave! Let them proceed!

M. Gustave: Ow, that hurts!

[Zero and Gustave are roughly shoved against the wall]

M. Gustave: You filthy, godamn, pock-marked, fascist assholes! Take your hands off my lobby boy!

[a whistle blows, and the door to the wagon opens. Everyone stops moving. Inspector A.J. Henckels walks into the room, he stands at the doorway]

Henckels: What's the problem?

M. Gustave: This is outrageous! The young man works for me at the Grand Budapest Hotel in Nebelsbad.

Henckels: Mousier Gustave?

[pauses]

Henckels: My name is Henckels, I'm the son of Dr. and Mrs. Wolfgang Henckels Bergersdörfer. Do you remember me?
