- Jozef Katz: I don't understand anything any more. But I know one thing. When the law persecutes the innocent, that's the end of it. And those who make the law, too.
- Rozalia Lautmannová: [in Tóno's dream] We all have our sorrows. We all know the past, but who can see the future?
- Imro Kuchar: I'd call you a swine if I hadn't known you for so long. You're just a poor fool who's been swindled.
- Markus Kolkocký: Have you heard of a cock that didn't crow at dawn?
- Antonin Brtko: No.
- Markus Kolkocký: That goes for us too, my friend!
- 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.
- Antonin Brtko: Interesting.
- 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!
- Imro Kuchar: Well, he may go soon. Our little Führer's gotten fat! It's all that fancy food and wine they get. He has the face of a bishop. The local god.
- Antonin Brtko: To me he's the same, a good-for-nothing scrounger, Mr. Commander!
- Antonin Brtko: To hell with Markus.
- Eliasová: Would it hurt to greet them? Would your tongue fall out?
- Antonin Brtko: I'm not a parrot.
- Eliasová: Would your arm drop off if you saluted them?
- Antonin Brtko: At your service, madam!
- Markus Kolkocký, Ruzena Kolkocká, Evelyna Brtková: [singing] I blew my whistle, And dad squeezes mum, I blow my whistle, I'll squeeze you too...
- Markus Kolkocký: If we don't get rich now, we never will. It's our duty to God and the Führer! It's our duty to the Republic.
- Antonin Brtko: I dreamt of a white butterfly. It was completely white.
- Eliasová: A white butterfly, a white flag. Love thy neighbor. I've put out your white handkerchief.
- 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.
- Rozalia Lautmannová: [in Tóno's dream] Fear is the root of all evil. Once we no longer live in fear of each other... Do you hear the bells?
