[Hitler convenes the Reichstag's emergency session inside the Kroll Opera House after the fire]
Adolf Hitler: In order for the government to carry out the necessary procedures against terrorism, Reichstag must support an Enabling Act. This act is your opportunity to hand power over to those who can wield it most effectively. From now on, all legislation will be handled by the Administration, which will have sole right to make constitutional changes. Freedoms of speech, association, and the press are temporarily suspended. Privacy rights in relation to telephone and postal communication are revoked.[the non-Nazi delegates are agitated as someone calls for order] The government assumes the right to intervene in any situation to restore order. The right to draft laws passes from the Reich's President to Chancellor. I offer the Reichstag the chance for peace in Germany!
Franz von Papen: Never! If you respect our Constitution...
Hermann Goering: [bangs gavel] Will the Vice-Chancellor return to his seat!
Adolf Hitler: I will take any refusal as a statement of opposition! Gentlemen, you must decide. Will it be peace, or war? [stunned silence until Goering and gradually everybody sings Deutschland uber Alles]
