Sawatski quotes from Look Who's Back (2015)

Sawatski, Fabian.

Adolf Hitler

Hitler, Adolf. Grossdeutsches Reich.

Your manager said you have a program?

Hitler

Of course I have a program.

Then say something like "Since 5:45 we are returning fire!" Like that?

Hitler

If you are quoting my speech, then you must know how it continues.

There's more? I'm listening.

Hitler

"From now on, we shall repay bomb for bomb." What do you know about Poland?

Poland? Uh, the capital is Warsaw...

Hitler

Just facts from a book. A paper moth can digest that. How about real knowledge? You have 1.4 million men and only 30 days to take the whole country.

Why only 30 days?

Hitler

Where do you attack? And how do you keep the Romanians quiet?

The Romanians?

Hitler

Oh, pardon me. Who cares about the Romanians? General Sawatski, he does not look left, he does not look right, he just starts marching, that General Sawatski. Poland is an easy foe. But what's this? Suddenly our army has lots of small holes in its back. And out of those holes flows and oozes the blood of German heroes. Has our General perhaps forgotten about the Polish-Romanian alliance? You, Sawatski, could not find the way to Poland for any army in the world! You could not even find your way into your own uniform! I, on the other hand, know at all times where my uniform is! It's at the cleaner's!

So what's your real name?

Hitler

Adolf Hitler! Like I told you!

Really?

Hitler

Yes, really.

What a coincidence.

Hitler

Oh, please. You have a name too. I don't say, "Oh, what a coincidence!"

And you look like him. The mustache, the hair, your language. It's exactly the same.

Hitler

And do you look much different than your name?

Hitler

I was wondering when you would show up.

It's you. You're him.

Hitler

I never claimed to be anything else. History repeats itself. I guess it's my fate to have to part with my dearest companions.

That way. Yes, history repeats itself. You're fooling people with your propaganda.

Hitler

Oh, Sawatski. You don't understand. In 1933, people were not fooled by propaganda. They elected a leader, one who openly disclosed his plans with great clarity. The Germans elected me.

You're a monster.

Hitler

Am I? Then you have to condemn those who elected this monster. Were they all monsters? No. They were ordinary people, who chose to elect an extraordinary man, and entrust the fate of the country to him. What do you want to do, Sawatski? Ban elections?

No. But I'm going to stop you.

Hitler

Have you never asked yourself... why people follow me? Because at their core, they are just like me. They have the same values. And that's why you won't shoot.

Hitler

You can't get rid of me. I'm a part of you. A part of all of you. And look; it wasn't all bad.
