What do you know about me?

Everything.

Erik Lensherr
[at a German bar in Argentina, Erik Lehnsherr orders a beer, then notices a photo of Schmidt on the wall with two other men] [In German, as his order is brought]

German beer?

Bartender
[In Spanish]

Of course.

Pig Farmer
[In German]

Yes,, it's Bitburger. Tastes good, eh? [laughs]

Erik Lensherr
[In German, taking a drink]

... The best. [He turns to the two other patrons, who happen to be the men in the photo] What brings you to Argentina?

Pig Farmer
[In German]

The weather. I'm a pig farmer. [chuckles]

Tailor
[In German]

Tailor. Since I was a boy. My father made the finest suits in Dusseldorf.

Erik Lensherr

My parents were from Dusseldorf!

Tailor

Really?

Erik Lensherr

Yeah! [He comes to their table and sits down]

Tailor

What were their names?

Erik Lensherr

Oh, they had no names. Their names were stolen from them... by pig farmers, and tailors.

Erik Lensherr
[He grins slyly as he toasts the two men; they glance at each other uneasily as all three drink. Erik uncovers the number tattoo on his arm from Auschwitz. The pig farmer suddenly draws a Hitler Youth dagger, but Erik catches his wrist and wrenches the knife away] [reads knife inscription]

"Blood and honor." Which would you care to shed first?

Pig Farmer

We were under orders!

Blood, then. [pins his hand to the table with the knife, causing the pig farmer to scream in agony]

Bartender
[points pistol at Erik, in Spanish]

Freeze, asshole!

Pig farmer
[in German]

Come on, shoot!

Pig farmer
[Erik controls the pistol to be aimed at the tailor, and fires at him. He throws the knife to stab the bartender, and brings it back to jam into the pig farmer's wounded hand while finishing his glass.] [In German]

Who...What are you?!?

[in English]

Let's just say I'm Frankenstein's monster. [glances at the picture of Klaus Schmidt] ...and I'm looking for my creator. [picks up bartender's pistol and shoots the pig farmer]
