All Quiet on the Western Front

Stanislaus Katczinsky:
[commenting on the German advance] Paul, if we keep up this pace, we won't have conquered France for 180 years. I worked it out. [laughs]

Paul Bäumer:
Don't let them catch you, Kat.

[French cannons bombard the German trenches]

Tjaden Stackfleet:
Creeping barrage.

Paul Bäumer:
What?

Tjaden Stackfleet:
Every couple of minutes, the artillery barrage makes an advance forward. And directly after that, the infantry moves forward.

Albert Kropp:
What does that mean exactly?

Stanislaus Katczinsky:
That they are coming!

[On Marshal Foch's private train, Matthias Erzberger negotiates a ceasefire with the French]

Matthias Erzberger:
Monsieur le Maréchal, I am asking you for an armistice.

General Ferdinand Foch:
[after handing the document of armistice to Matthias] You have 72 hours to accept our conditions. They are non-negotiable.

Matthias Erzberger:
Seventy-two hours?

General Ferdinand Foch:
The war will continue until you sign them.

Matthias Erzberger:
Monsieur le Maréchal, in God's name, don't let 72 hours pass us by here. Thousands of lives depend on it.

General Ferdinand Foch:
[Marshal stands up to hand a pen to Matthias] Sign then!

Paul Bäumer:
I'm afraid of what's about to come.

Stanislaus Katczinsky:
Don't be.

Paul BäUmer:
The stench will remain on us forever.

Paul BäUmer:
When you're starving, you'll do anything.

Stanislaus "Kat" Katczinsky:
Germany will soon be empty.

Matthias Erzberger:
All that's left separating us from an armistice is false pride.

Matthias Erzberger:
My son killed in the war. He doesn't feel any honor.

General Friedrichs:
What is a soldier without war?

General Friedrichs:
General Friedrichs: A man is born alone, he lives alone, and dies alone.
