Listen to that music, Glocken. Don't try to tell me you don't react to that music....

Lowenthal: Listen to that music, Glocken. Don't try to tell me you don't react to that music. Glocken: Schmulz. Lowenthal: Hmph, tell me, Glocken, now honestly, when you hear that music, wherever you are, don't you have a special feeling about being a German? Glocken: I'll tell you, Leaven's honor, honestly, when I hear that music, wherever I am, I have a special feeling about being a dwarf. Lowenthal: Ah, I remember being thousands of miles from home in a movie theater in New York; they put on a picture of the funeral of the Kaiserin Victoria. That good woman, how much she meant to all of us. Glocken: [rolls eyes] You are German, aren't you? You are the most German person I have ever met. Lowenthal: [chuckles] Oh, I want to show you something. I take it out every once in a while and look at it when I want to feel good. Glocken: Well, the order of the Iron Cross, second class - and a war hero besides. You may be the biggest fool on this whole boat. Lowenthal: [looks offended] Why do you say that? Glocken: [says agitated] Where have you been during this voyage? Lowenthal: Do you think this boat is a cross-section of the German people? Huh, no. You don't know the average German the way I know him. The people that produced a Goethe, a Beethoven, and a Bach are not to be sneezed at, you know. Glocken: Fifty percent of the people who produced a Goethe, a Beethoven, and a Bach voted for Rieber's party last week! Lowenthal: [grumbles disagreed] Forty-four percent. Glocken: Lowenthal, you are blind; you're absolutely blind! You can't see what's going on in front of your own face. Lowenthal: What do you mean? Ah, you mean this business about the Jews? You don't understand us. The German-Jew is something special. We are Germans first and Jews second. We have done so much for Germany; Germany has done so much for us. A little patience, a little good will; it works itself out. [scoffs endearingly] Lowenthal: Huh, listen, there are nearly a million Jews in Germany. What are they going to do? Kill all of us? Glocken: [looks frightened]
