To Be or Not to Be

Colonel Ehrhardt:
Oh, yes. As a matter of fact I saw him on the stage when I was in Warsaw once before the war. What he did to Shakespeare we are doing to Poland.

Maria Tura:
No, no, no. I think we've talked much too much about me. Tell me about yourself.

Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski:
Well, there isn't much to tell. I just fly a bomber.

Maria Tura:
Oh, how perfectly thrilling!

Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski:
I don't know about it being thrilling. But it's quite a bomber. You might not believe it, but I can drop three tons of dynamite in two minutes.

Maria Tura:
Really?

Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski:
Does that interest you?

Maria Tura:
It certainly does.

Colonel Ehrhardt:
If you watch the shepherd, you are bound to find the flock.

Greenberg:
Mr. Rawitch, what you are I wouldn't eat.

Rawitch:
How dare you call me a ham?

Maria Tura:
It's becoming ridiculous the way you grab attention. If I tell a joke, you finish it. If I go on a diet, you lose the weight. If I have a cold, you cough. And if we should ever have a baby, I'm not so sure I'd be the mother.

Josef Tura:
I'm satisfied to be the father.

Anna:
What a husband doesn't know won't hurt his wife.

Josef Tura:
Wait a minute. I'll decide with whom my wife's going to have dinner and whom she's going to kill.

Professor Alexander Siletsky:
Shall we drink to a blitzkrieg?

Maria Tura:
I prefer a slow encirclement.

Josef Tura:
If I shouldn't come back, I forgive you for what happened between you and Sobinski. But if I come back, it's a different matter.

Colonel Ehrhardt:
They named a brandy after Napoleon, they made a herring out of Bismarck, and the Fuhrer is going to end up as a piece of cheese!

Rawitch:
Well? What have you to say for yourself now? Here is a man with a beard, and you didn't even pull it!

Josef Tura:
By the way, I talked to Bronski this morning and told him to put your name first.

Maria Tura:
Oh, darling, how wonderful of you, but you see, I really don't care.

Josef Tura:
That's what Bronski said, so we left it as it was.

Joseph Tura:
You can't have your cake and shoot it.

Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski:
Well, the other night, Professor Siletsky was addressing us at the camp, and I mentioned the name of Maria Tura - and he never heard of her.

Gen. Armstrong:
Neither have I.

Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski:
Oh, but, sir, she's supposed to be the most famous actress in Poland.

Gen. Armstrong:
Now, look, son, there are plenty of us who aren't interested in the theater. As a matter of fact, there's only one actress that I ever heard of - and I certainly hope I'll never hear from her again.
