Quotes 

• Bridget von Hammersmark : There have been two recent developments regarding Operation Kino. One, the venue has been changed from the Ritz to a much smaller venue.

  Lt. Aldo Raine : Enormous changes at the last minute? That's not very Germatic. Why the hell is Goebbels doin' stuff so damn peculiar?

  Bridget von Hammersmark : It probably has something to do with the second development.

  Lt. Aldo Raine : Which is?

  Bridget von Hammersmark : [sits up]  The Führer is attending the premiere.

  Adolf Hitler : [cut to Hitler]  I've been rethinking my position in regards to your Paris premiere of "Nation's Pride". As the weeks have gone on and the Americans are on the beach, I do find myself thinking more and more about this Private Zoller. This boy has done something tremendous for us. And I'm beginning to think my participation in this event could be meaningful.

  Sgt. Donny Donowitz : [cut back to the Basterds]  Fuck a duck!

• Fredrick Zoller : [shouting to the camera, acting in Nation's Pride]  Who wants to send a message to Germany?

  [Nation's Pride is interrupted by Shosanna's movie] 

  Shosanna Dreyfus : I have a message for Germany.

  [Hitler and Goebbels watch in shock] 

  Shosanna Dreyfus : [her image on the screen smirks]  That you are all going to die.

  Adolf Hitler : [yelling in German]  Enough! Stop it!

  Joseph Goebbels : [yelling in German]  Turn off the projector!

  Shosanna Dreyfus : And I want you to look deep into the face of the Jew that is going to do it!

  Joseph Goebbels : [in German as the audience begins to shout in protest and anger]  I don't know what's going on! That does not belong in my movie!

  Shosanna Dreyfus : [her image on the screen smiles]  Marcel... burn it down.

  Marcel : [standing behind the screen, he smiles]  Oui, Shosanna.

• Kliest : [in German; subtitled]  Mein Führer, do you still wish to see Private Butz?

  Adolf Hitler : [in German]  Who and what is a "Private Butz"?

• Adolf Hitler : [in German, with subtitles]  How did you survive this ordeal?

  Pvt. Butz : They let me go.

  Lt. Aldo Raine : [cut back to the ditch]  Now, when you report what happened here, you can't tell 'em you told us what you told us. They'll shoot ya. But they're gonna wanna know why you so special, we let you live? So, tell 'em we let you live so you could spread the word through the ranks what's gonna happen to every Nazi we find.

  Adolf Hitler : [cut back to Hitler's office]  You are not to tell anybody anything! Not one word of detail! Your outfit was ambushed and you got away! Not one word more!

  Pvt. Butz : Yes, mein fuhrer.

  Adolf Hitler : Did they mark you like they did they did the other survivors?

  Pvt. Butz : Yes, mein fuhrer.

  Lt. Aldo Raine : [cut back to the ditch]  Now, say we let you go, and say you survive the war. When you get back home, whatcha gonna do?

  [Wicki translates to German] 

  Pvt. Butz : [in German]  I will hug my mother like I've never hugged her before.

  Cpl. Wilhelm Wicki : [to Aldo]  Says he's gonna hug his momma.

  Lt. Aldo Raine : Well, ain't that a real nice boy? Are you going to take off your uniform?

  [Wicki translates] 

  Pvt. Butz : Not only shall I remove it, I intend to burn it.

  Cpl. Wilhelm Wicki : Says he's gonna burn it.

  Lt. Aldo Raine : Yeah, that's what we thought. We don't like that. You see, we like our Nazis in uniform. That way we can spot 'em just like that. But you take off that uniform, ain't no one ever gonna know you were a Nazi. And that don't sit well with us. So, I'm gonna give you a little something you can't take off.

  [cut back to Hitler's office. He moves closer to Butz as Butz removes his cap to show a large swastika-shaped scar on his forehead] 

• Adolf Hitler : [in German]  NEIN, NEIN, NEIN, NEIN, NEIN, NEIN!

  [turns to his men] 

  Adolf Hitler : How much more of these Jew swine must I endure? They butcher my men like they were fish bait! I have heard the rumors myself! Soldiers of the Third Reich, who have brought the world to its knees, now pecking and clucking like chickens. Do you know the latest rumor they've conjured up in their fear-induced delirium? The one that beats my boys with a bat. The one they call "the Bear Jew" is a golem!

  General Frank : [in German]  Mein Führer, that is just soldier's gossip. No one really believes that the Bear Jew is a golem.

  Adolf Hitler : Why not? They seem to elude capture like an apparition! They seem to be able to appear and disappear at will. You want to prove they're flesh and blood?

  [pounds on table] 

  Adolf Hitler : THEN BRING THEM TO ME! I will hang them naked, by their heels from the Eiffel Tower! And then throw their bodies into the sewers for the rats of Paris to feast on!

• Adolf Hitler : [at the premiere of "Nation's Pride"]  Extraordinary, my dear. Simply extraordinary. This is your finest film yet.

  Joseph Goebbels : [Goebbels' eyes fill with tears]  Thank you, mein Führer. Thank you.

• Adolf Hitler : Kliest!

  Kliest : Ja, mein Führer?

  Adolf Hitler : [in German; subtitled]  I have an order I want relayed to all German soldiers stationed in France. The Jew degenerate known as the Bear Jew henceforth is never to be referred to as the Bear Jew again. Did you get that, Kliest?

  Kliest : Ja, mein Führer.
