View Quote Elsa: I'm not a ghost, Johannes. I'm something worse, but I think you already know that, don't you? You know what I am.
[Jojo knows it, but is afraid to say it. He shakes his head--]
Elsa: Yes. Say it. SAY IT!
Jojo: A Jew.
Elsa: Gesundheit.

View Quote Klenzendorf: Today you boys will be involved in such activities as marching, bayonet drills, grenade throwing, trench digging, map reading, gas defense, camouflage, ambush techniques, war games, firing guns and blowing stuff up.
[the boys cheer]
Klenzendorf: The girls will practice important womanly duties... such as... dressing wounds, making beds and learning... how to get pregnant.
[the girls are not cheering, obviously]
Rahm: I've had 18 kids for Germany. [sarcastically] Such a great year to be a girl.

View Quote Rosie: You've lived more lifetimes than most.
Elsa: I haven't lived at all.
Rosie: You're being challenged. They say you can't live, that you won't live. If that comes true, then they win.
Elsa: They have been winning so far.
Rosie: They'll never win, that's the power you have. As long as there's someone alive out there somewhere, then they lose. They didn't get you yesterday or today, you make tomorrow the same! Hey. Tomorrow must be the same.

View Quote Trainee: [lecturing how soldiers must be ready to kill the enemy. When asked if they are able, Jojo reluctantly says yes]
Trainee: Johannes. Can you kill?
Jojo: [reluctant] Of--of--of course. I-- I love killing.
[Jojo is told to kill a rabbit; he refuses]

View Quote [after discovering Elsa, Jojo runs to his room, asking Adolf for advice]
Adolf: How did she get control like that?
Jojo: She must've used her powers! Mind control.
Adolf: Ah, typical. You see how fast she moves?
Jojo: Yes!
Adolf: Ah, like a female, Jewish Jesse Owens, and now she's got your fancy knife.
Jojo: Mmmph! My knife!
Adolf: Ah, like a female, Jewish Jesse Owens, Jack the Ripper. You're definitely in a pickle, my friend. What to do... what to do...
Both: Got it!
Jojo: I'd negotiate! / Adolf: You're gonna burn the house and blame Winston Churchill. Or negotiate. Hmm.

View Quote [Jojo and Rosie spot a public gallows, where anti-Nazi people are hanged]
Jojo: What did they do?
Rosie: What they could.

View Quote [Jojo fails at negotiating. He goes back to his room, depressed]
Adolf: She's pretty rude, you know. That's just my two pfennige. And now she's got TWO KNIVES!
Jojo: I KNOW!
Adolf: How you're gonna chop up stuff?
Jojo: I DON'T KNOW!
Adolf: Oh and she's still up there, that thing, that-- that-- that...
Jojo: Jew!
Adolf: Ah, Jew! Ah, what we're gonna do bout that Jew?
Jojo: You think of something.
Adolf: Oh, now I'm the expert?
Jojo: STOP OFFERING ME DAMN CIGARETTES! I'M TEN!
Adolf: Alright, sorry I'm STRESSED OUT! OK, let's talk like turkeys. You can't let your mother know or that Jew will cut off your Nazi head BUT... there's no reason this thing in the attic needs ruin your life-- in fact... you could use it to your advantage.
Jojo: How?
Adolf: When someone tries to use mind powers on me, you know what I do? Use mind powers back on them. Remember last year, when that one-arm pirate, von Stauffenberg, tried to blow me up with a table bomb?
Jojo: Yeah, you survived.
Adolf: Correctumondo. But the only reason I survived, apart from having bomb-proof legs, is that I outwitted old-von Stauffy. I let him think I was dead when in actual, I was absolutely fine. But pretending I was dead, I drew out all the traitors. So what you're going to do?
Jojo: Pretend I'm dead?
Adolf: Exactly-- no. No, what I mean is this: make her feel safe and then she'll drop her guard and then YOU will be the one in control.
Jojo: Reverse psychology!
Adolf: Don't complicate things. Just use my backwards mind power trick, and everything will be fine. [sees watch] Oh, I have to go. We're having unicorn for dinner at my place tonight. Concentrate, Jojo! Remember, a Jew living in your wall is better than two Jews flying around with their bat wings climbing down chimneys and eating innocent Nazis. And don't give her any more knives! Tschüss! [proceeds to jump out of the window]

View Quote [a fake letter from Elsa's fiance Nathan] Dear Elsa, this is hard for me to say but, I don't want to marry you anymore. I found a new woman, and we laugh a lot, and do the tongue kiss.

View Quote [a second letter apologizing] I just wanted to let you know that I don't want to break up with you now. I don't want you to kill yourself over me, which a couple of girls have done in the past, and it's pretty stressful. I need you to stay alive. Thank God you've been taken care of by that kid, who I must say is a remarkable young man beyond his years. And brave too.

View Quote [after Jojo grabs books] Yes. Great thinking, Rabbit. we'll use all of these books to make a fake floor that she'll fall through, straight into a pit full of piranhas, and—and lava and... bacon. Why, she won't know what hit her.

View Quote [after Jojo tells her his race is superior, she has him in a headlock] Break free. Break free, Great Aryan, there are no weak Jews. I am descended from those who wrestle angels and kill giants, we were chosen by God. You were chosen by a pathetic little man who can't even grow a full mustache! [releases Jojo roughly] Stronger race, huh?

View Quote [After Jojo tells him Elsa is not bad] I am beginning to question your loyalty to myself and the party. [voice gets louder] You call yourself a patriot?! Yet where is the evidence? The German soldier was born out of necessity. Germany depends on the passion of these young men: passion and the readiness to FALL fot the Fatherland, DESPITE THE FUTILE EFFORTS OF ALLIED WAR PROFITEERS WHO SEND THEIR ILL-PREPARED ARMIES CLUMSILY INTO THE LAIR OF THE WOLF! And only zealous who stand steadfast in the face of the enemy will be ETCHED in German memory forevah! IT IS UP TO YOU TO DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED, or disappear without a trace, like a pitiful grain of sand INTO A DESERT OF INSIGNIFICANCE!

View Quote [after the war, Jojo realizes how horrible Hitler was, and attempts to kick him out of his life] **** OFF, HITLER.

View Quote [clarifying to his friend Yorki his position] Yorki, you're my second best friend. First place is reserved for the Führer. So unless you're Hitler hiding in a fat little boy's body, I'd be happy with second place.
