Michael Langdon: Colonel Frank

Quotes 

• Colonel Frank : [throws his top-hat at a hat-rack and misses; then he refers to a famous golfer who would not have missed this shot]  Well, who'd you expect? Severiano Ballasteros?

• Frosch : [enters]  Herr Direktor, there is again another lady outside. A marquise.

  Colonel Frank : Why do you say she is a Marquise?

  Frosch : [indicating taking off a mask]  She let her marquee down. She wanted to talk, so I put her in the Consulting Room.

  Frosch : [Col Frank bumps hard into Frosch, sending him reeling, as he heads out the door]  Help! Foul! Body-check! Yellow Card! In soccer that's an 11-meter penalty kick. But now I have to drink something.

  Frosch : [picks up a small glass from the Director's desk, thinking it's Slivovitz, and swallows it all in one gulp; then he spits it out in disgust]  Help! Tea!

• Colonel Frank : [drunken Frosch crashes into window]  What is wrong?

  Frosch : Nothing, Herr Direktor, I just bent the window pane in the line of duty.

  Colonel Frank : What do you see?

  Frosch : Shards of glass.

  Colonel Frank : Who is down there?

  Frosch : Ladies. Four ladies... Could be just two, though.

• Colonel Frank : Frosch where can we hide these ladies?

  Frosch : Cell 13.

  Colonel Frank : Since when is cell 13 free?

  Frosch : Since this afternoon. The prisoner's my brother-in-law and he wanted to celebrate New Year's Eve with his family. He'll be back tomorrow.

• Colonel Frank : [Frosch admits 2 women into the jailhouse: Ida and Adele who is going by the pseudonym Olga. Adele gives the Colonel a big hug and calls him Chevalier Chagrin]  Frosch, leave us alone.

  Frosch : [objects]  Herr Director, now that it's getting interesting? You begrudge. Shpoilshport!
