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]
