- Joe Newman: No. I heard he died 20 years ago.
- Dr. Peter von Brecht: Of course, The trouble with Germany today, Joe, is everyone works too hard, for the wrong reasons. It's a National obsession. Trying to expiate the sins of the past.
- Joe Newman: I didn't know they'd remember them.
- Dr. Peter von Brecht: You're not a German. Mentally you're like your mother. You see people eating too much, driving too fast, talking too loudly, and you're fooled. Take it from me. Beneath the shining chromium and the neon lights, the pain and the sickness are still there.
