But where our conclusions differ
00:00:04.128 --> 00:00:07.013
is I don't consider the comparison an insult
00:00:09.634 --> 00:00:13.047
Consider for a moment the world a rat lives in
00:00:14.347 --> 00:00:16.515
It's a hostile world indeed
00:00:17.035 --> 00:00:20.769
If a rat were to scamper through your front door right now
00:00:20.853 --> 00:00:23.313
would you greet it with hostility
00:00:24.232 --> 00:00:26.108
I suppose I would
00:00:26.192 --> 00:00:31.113
Has a rat ever done anything to you to create this animosity you feel toward them
00:00:32.999 --> 00:00:34.616
Rats spread disease They bite people
00:00:35.201 --> 00:00:38.954
Rats were the cause of the bubonic plague but that's some time ago
00:00:39.997 --> 00:00:41.665
I propose to you any disease a rat could spread
00:00:41.749 --> 00:00:44.209
a squirrel could equally carry
00:00:44.294 --> 00:00:45.919
Would you agree
00:00:46.002 --> 00:00:47.671
AGREES IN FRENCH
00:00:47.755 --> 00:00:50.034
Yet I assume you don't share the same animosity with squirrels
00:00:50.425 --> 00:00:53.218
that you do with rats do you No
00:00:53.636 --> 00:00:56.138
Yet they're both rodents are they not
00:00:56.222 --> 00:01:00.225
And except for the tail they even rather look alike don't they
00:01:00.601 --> 00:01:03.437
It's an interesting thought Herr Colonel
00:01:04.001 --> 00:01:06.999
However interesting as the thought may be
00:01:06.274 --> 00:01:09.568
it makes not one bit of difference to how you feel
00:01:11.904 --> 00:01:15.949
If a rat were to walk in here right now as I'm talking
00:01:17.993 --> 00:01:20.999
would you greet it with a saucer of your delicious milk
00:01:21.998 --> 00:01:22.497
Probably not
00:01:23.166 --> 00:01:24.833
I didn't think so
00:01:25.999 --> 00:01:27.953
You don't like them
00:01:27.999 --> 00:01:29.049
You don't really know why you don't like them
00:01:29.994 --> 00:01:31.798
All you know is you find them repulsive
00:01:34.005 --> 00:01:37.999
Consequently a German soldier conducts a search
00:01:37.001 --> 00:01:39.681
of a house suspected of hiding Jews
00:01:40.999 --> 00:01:42.184
Where does the hawk look
00:01:42.268 --> 00:01:45.479
He looks in the barn he looks in the attic he looks in the cellar
00:01:45.605 --> 00:01:47.999
he looks everywhere he would hide
00:01:48.941 --> 00:01:53.111
But there are so many places it would never occur to a hawk to hide
00:01:55.999 --> 00:01:59.006
However the reason the Fϋhrer has brought me off my Alps in Austria
00:01:59.999 --> 00:02:03.538
and placed me in French cow country today is because it does occur to me
00:02:04.791 --> 00:02:08.001
Because I'm aware what tremendous feats human beings are capable of
00:02:08.001 --> 00:02:10.999
once they abandon dignity
00:02:12.002 --> 00:02:14.001
May I smoke my pipe as well
00:02:16.511 --> 00:02:19.001
Please Herr Colonel make yourself at home
