Markus Kolkocký : I'll have him arrested. Him and all the Jew-lovers!
Antonin Brtko : A Jew-lover?
Markus Kolkocký : A dirty Jew-lover, your Mr. Kuchár. We know all about him. We're keeping an eye on him. I'm warning you, stay away from him! A Jew-lover is worse than a regular Jew. He isn't one of them, but he's on their side.

Markus Kolkocký : Interesting? You bloody fool. Dangerous! Remember that. They're dangerous, remember that!

Imro Kuchar : Why are you running away? Afraid of your own brother-in-law?
Antonin Brtko : He can go to hell!

Antonin Brtko : Mrs. Lautmann, let me explain. You're Jewish, aren't you? Well, I'm an Aryan. Jewish shops are finished. That's the law. There are only Aryan shops now. It's called "Aryanisation." Understand?
Rozalia Lautmannová : No, I don't.
Antonin Brtko : You don't. Here it is in black and white. I'm your Aryan and you are my Jewess. Understand?
Rozalia Lautmannová : You've got a sense of humor, young man! Are you a bailiff?
Antonin Brtko : No, I'm your Aryan controller.
