Quotes 

• Henckels : By order of the commissioner of police, Zubrowka Province, I hereby place you under arrest for the murder of Madame Céline Villenueve Desgoffe-und-Taxis.

  M. Gustave : I knew there was something fishy. We never got the cause of death. She's been murdered, and you think I did it.

  [runs away] 

• Henckels : Who's shooting who?

  Dmitri : That's Gustave H., the escaped murderer and art thief! I've got him cornered!

  M. Gustave : That's Dmitri Desgoffe und Taxis! He's responsible for the killing of Deputy Kovacs, Serge X and his club-footed sister, plus his own mother!

  [pause] 

  Henckels : Nobody move; everybody's under arrest.

• M. Gustave : Why are we stopping at a Barley Field?

  [Title Card: 19th October, The Closing of the Frontier] 

  M. Gustave : [the train comes to a stop, the Doors to the cabin room swing open, soldiers stand at the doorway] 

  M. Gustave : Well, Hello there, chaps.

  Franz : Documents, please.

  M. Gustave : With pleasure.

  [Hands the officer his papers] 

  M. Gustave : It's not a very flattering portrait, I'm afraid, I was once considered a great beauty.

  [Notices the soldier's name tag, it reads: "Cpl F. Müller."] 

  M. Gustave : What's the F. Stand for, Fritz? Franz?

  Franz : Franz.

  M. Gustave : [Cheerfully]  I knew it!

  [Zero hands the soldier his papers] 

  M. Gustave : He's making a funny face.

  M. Gustave : [to the soldier]  That's a Migatory Visa with stage three worker status, Franz darling, he's with me.

  Franz : [Hesitates, looks at Zero]  Come outside, please.

  M. Gustave : Now wait a minute, sit down, Zero. His papers are in order, I crossed referenced them myself with The Bureau of Labor and Servitude. You can't arrest him simply because he's a bloody immigrant, he hasn't done anything wrong!

  [a moment of disbelief, the soldier looks, then grabs Zero by the arm and rises him from his seat. A light struggle breaks out, Gustave, angered, yells at them] 

  M. Gustave : Stop it! Stop, damn you!

  Zero : Never mind, Mousier Gustave! Let them proceed!

  M. Gustave : Ow, that hurts!

  [Zero and Gustave are roughly shoved against the wall] 

  M. Gustave : You filthy, godamn, pock-marked, fascist assholes! Take your hands off my lobby boy!

  [a whistle blows, and the door to the wagon opens. Everyone stops moving. Inspector A.J. Henckels walks into the room, he stands at the doorway] 

  Henckels : What's the problem?

  M. Gustave : This is outrageous! The young man works for me at the Grand Budapest Hotel in Nebelsbad.

  Henckels : Mousier Gustave?

  [pauses] 

  Henckels : My name is Henckels, I'm the son of Dr. and Mrs. Wolfgang Henckels Bergersdörfer. Do you remember me?

• Henckels : I want road blocks at every junction for fifty kilometers. I want rail blocks at every train station for a hundred kilometers. I want 50 men and 10 bloodhounds ready in five minutes. We're going to strip-search every pretzel-haus, waffel-hut, biergarten, and, especially, every Grand Hotel from Äugenzberg to Zilchbrück.
