Full Transcript
00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.878
The Fϋhrer and Goebbels' propaganda have said pretty much the same thing
00:00:04.962 --> 00:00:07.964
But where our conclusions differ
00:00:08.009 --> 00:00:11.001
is I don't consider the comparison an insult
00:00:13.596 --> 00:00:17.432
Consider for a moment the world a rat lives in
00:00:18.309 --> 00:00:20.477
It's a hostile world indeed
00:00:21.312 --> 00:00:24.731
If a rat were to scamper through your front door right now
00:00:24.815 --> 00:00:27.275
would you greet it with hostility
00:00:28.194 --> 00:00:30.007
I suppose I would
00:00:30.154 --> 00:00:35.003
Has a rat ever done anything to you to create this animosity you feel toward them
00:00:35.993 --> 00:00:38.578
Rats spread disease They bite people
00:00:39.163 --> 00:00:42.916
Rats were the cause of the bubonic plague but that's some time ago
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.627
I propose to you any disease a rat could spread
00:00:45.711 --> 00:00:48.171
a squirrel could equally carry
00:00:48.256 --> 00:00:49.881
Would you agree
00:00:50.979 --> 00:00:51.633
AGREES IN FRENCH
00:00:51.717 --> 00:00:54.302
Yet I assume you don't share the same animosity with squirrels
00:00:54.387 --> 00:00:57.018
that you do with rats do you No
00:00:57.598 --> 00:01:00.001
Yet they're both rodents are they not
00:01:00.184 --> 00:01:04.187
And except for the tail they even rather look alike don't they
00:01:04.563 --> 00:01:07.399
It's an interesting thought Herr Colonel
00:01:08.999 --> 00:01:10.151
However interesting as the thought may be
00:01:10.236 --> 00:01:13.053
it makes not one bit of difference to how you feel
00:01:15.866 --> 00:01:19.911
If a rat were to walk in here right now as I'm talking
00:01:21.997 --> 00:01:24.916
would you greet it with a saucer of your delicious milk
00:01:25.002 --> 00:01:26.459
Probably not
00:01:27.128 --> 00:01:28.795
I didn't think so
00:01:29.422 --> 00:01:30.964
You don't like them
00:01:31.002 --> 00:01:32.999
You don't really know why you don't like them
00:01:33.997 --> 00:01:35.001
All you know is you find them repulsive
00:01:37.999 --> 00:01:41.002
Consequently a German soldier conducts a search
00:01:41.142 --> 00:01:43.643
of a house suspected of hiding Jews
00:01:44.562 --> 00:01:46.146
Where does the hawk look
00:01:46.023 --> 00:01:49.441
He looks in the barn he looks in the attic he looks in the cellar
00:01:49.999 --> 00:01:51.943
he looks everywhere he would hide
00:01:52.001 --> 00:01:57.993
But there are so many places it would never occur to a hawk to hide
00:01:59.327 --> 00:02:02.996
However the reason the Fϋhrer has brought me off my Alps in Austria
00:02:03.998 --> 00:02:07.005
and placed me in French cow country today is because it does occur to me
00:02:08.999 --> 00:02:12.013
Because I'm aware what tremendous feats human beings are capable of
00:02:12.256 --> 00:02:14.001
once they abandon dignity
00:02:16.909 --> 00:02:18.136
May I smoke my pipe as well
00:02:20.001 --> 00:02:23.999
Please Herr Colonel make yourself at home
