John Rabe:
Stop it! This is the safety zone. Get out and leave the women alone. [Rabe switches to German and makes a Nazi salute] We're Germans. Germans. We're Germans. [Japanese officer aims his pistol at Rabe] Help me out here, damn it!
Dr. Georg Rosen:
[Rosen also makes a Nazi salute] Heil... Shitler. Heil Shitler.
John Rabe:
[after resolving the situation] That's not funny.
Dr. Georg Rosen:
We got through.
John Rabe:
All the same, he is the F?hrer of the German people.
Dr. Georg Rosen:
And shall I tell you what I don't find funny?
John Rabe:
Yes what is it?
Dr. Georg Rosen:
It also concerns the so-called F?hrer.
John Rabe:
Listen here...
Dr. Georg Rosen:
Friedrich Rosen, my father. An ambassador and foreign minister, forced to flee and die in China. Simply because my grandfather, Beethoven's best friend, no less, happened to be Jewish. My father couldn't die in the country he always lived for. That's not funny. Nor is my position as secretary. After years as embassy councillor. I should be glad to even be alive. Do you think that's funny? [Rosen makes a Nazi salute] Heil Shitler.
