Ben Daniels: Bühler
Quotes
-
Dr. Joseph Bühler : If it is already built, WHY this meeting? Why BOTHER?
-
Klopfer : I take it that you do not get good food up in Krakow?
Dr. Joseph Bühler : If all of Berlin eats like you, it's no wonder we have shortages.
-
Undersecretary Martin Luther : I'm sorry, why can't you shoot them?
Dr. Joseph Bühler : Didn't you just hear him? It is the worst thing for our soldiers to be doing. They are women, they are children. And soldiers have a sense of honor, sir.
Undersecretary Martin Luther : There's plenty of honor in following orders.
Lange : Sir, would you care to join my group?
Undersecretary Martin Luther : Enthusiastically!
Heydrich : No.
Undersecretary Martin Luther : I will.
Heydrich : No, you will not. 11 million, even half that number, executed in small batches, would be asinine to undertake for the reasons Dr. Meyer mentioned. Inefficient use of time, manpower, bullets. No. As Major Lange will learn, gas if much more efficient, and less public.
-
Lange : [as Heydrich continues to get a final word from everyone around the table] Yes.
Dr. Joseph Bühler : I would like to urge that speed that Dr. Meyer asked of you. The Poles are not as disciplined a population as we Germans. And I will report our will of the group to the Governor General.
Heydrich : He will understand that I'm relieving him of a burden. Colonel?
SS.Col. Eberhard 'Karl' Schöngarth : I thoroughly approve and I'm anxious to start. I look forward to working with your office, and yours, Colonel.
Dr. Roland Freisler : The sooner, the better.
-
Dr. Joseph Bühler : I will tell you this: When cholera hits the ghettos, and typhoid, your tattoos won't protect you from shitting your guts out until you dry up and die. Then tell me about infallibility.
-
Adolf Eichmann : And the - carbon monoxide, what it does is... The bodies come out pink. The gas turns them pink.
SS.Col. Eberhard 'Karl' Schöngarth : [laughing] That's a nice touch.
Dr. Joseph Bühler : If it is already built, what is this meeting? Why bother?
Heydrich : The system has shown that it works. It will work for you. It is settling in. The method is now defined.
Dr. Roland Freisler : The Jews go in red and come out pink. That is progress.
[laughter around the room]
-
Dr. Joseph Bühler : The Governor General has specifically been told that we would be the FIRST area, the first, to have our ghettos emptied, the Jews evacuated. The possible epidemic we face...
General Reinhard Heydrich : I know the conditions, you need not repeat them. But as to the promise, you were wrong. First to be cleansed is Germany
[lights up cigarette]
General Reinhard Heydrich : , then you. Germany first.
Dr. Alfred Meyer : But what bureaucratic struggles...
General Reinhard Heydrich : [becoming annoyed] I do not think you understand - this is my operation. No bureaucracy, and no bureaucrat with his nose in the rulebook and his hand on his cock will slow it down. We will be moving Jews in days, not weeks. Start writing up your train schedules.
[Begins browsing vinyl records]
General Reinhard Heydrich : Ah. Schubert, Quintet in C Major. The adagio will tear your heart out... tell the Governor General to expect my call. Have we helped your problem?
Dr. Joseph Bühler : Yes, I hope so.
General Reinhard Heydrich : Good then.
[to Meyer]
General Reinhard Heydrich : You, sir?
Dr. Alfred Meyer : I'm sure trains will be available.
General Reinhard Heydrich : Anything else?
Dr. Alfred Meyer : You have been very patient.
General Reinhard Heydrich : [scoffs at him] Don't count on it. Have a good ride to Krakow.
