[given the spate of elections, Hindenburg tries to talk to his officials about keeping Hitler in check, but when Hitler expresses his desire to be Chancellor...]
Franz von Papen: That's my job! [Kurt von Schleicher laughs]
Adolf Hitler: [walks up to von Schleicher] I wouldn't laugh, General. Perhaps I'll take your job as well. [to Hindenburg] Herr Reich President, surely you can see I'm a force to be reckoned with? The sooner you appoint me Chancellor, approve my cabinet...
President Paul von Hindenburg: I will never appoint you Chancellor! [stands up] How dare you presume, sir? You're nothing but a Bohemian corporal! If I made you head of this government, how would I answer to God?
Hitler: And how will you answer to Germany if you don't? [pause] Good day, sir.
