Fritz Gerte:
[Pastor Hall, his daughter Christine and Storm Troop Leader Fritz Gerte are at dinner at the Pastor's home]
It was magnificent! Sixty thousand people, cheering like mad! When the Führer rose to speak, you could hear a pin drop.
Christine Hall:
No one dropped one, did they?
[Teasingly]
Fritz Gerte:
It is not a joking matter, Fräulein Hall.
Pastor Frederick Hall:
The Storm Troop Leader is right, Christine. Please go on with your story.
Fritz Gerte:
I think not, Herr Pastor. It seems to me that the ideals of National Socialism find little sympathy in this house.
Pastor Frederick Hall:
Because we don't understand them. If, so far, I have not been attracted to National Socialism, it's because it seems to me to encourage the two things I've always tried to fight against - lust for power and fear. Perhaps I'm wrong.
Fritz Gerte:
We believe in the rule of the strong. The glory of Germany can only survive if we cut the canker from the organism.
Pastor Frederick Hall:
As doctors, you're not always very gentle.
Fritz Gerte:
Surgeons must have courage to cut.
Pastor Frederick Hall:
True, but they must also have a thorough knowledge of the human body. Otherwise, they'd be merely murderers.
Fritz Gerte:
Herr Pastor!
[Offended]
Christine Hall:
Don't worry about Daddy. He's always dropping bricks.
Pastor Frederick Hall:
Oh, please, please. I didn't mean anything personal in any way.
Fritz Gerte:
I'm afraid we can find no common ground unless you admit the right of a superior race to shape its' life according to its' historic mission.
Pastor Frederick Hall:
We Christians believe that the spirit dominates, or should, and anybody who believes with us is one with us.
Fritz Gerte:
There are many pastors who understand their task as our Führer wishes it to be understood.
Pastor Frederick Hall:
You despise men, don't you?
Fritz Gerte:
[Surprised]
No, I don't think so. Man has only to obey to be happy.
Pastor Frederick Hall:
Obedience is not the final virtue.
Fritz Gerte:
With us, it is!
Pastor Frederick Hall:
I take orders from one who knows men and yet doesn't despise them. He trusts them with this great danger of freedom. He gives them choice, though they often choose wrong. But, when a man loses his freedom he ceases to be a man.
