- Dr. Falke: Ladies and Gentlemen, it's four o'clock in the morning and the air of Vienna is like champagne. And when I'm soaked in champagne I love it. I love the whole world. In particular, of course, our dear friends the British, and the French, the Russians, and the Americans who have been spoiling us Viennese for so many years now. And when I say "spoiling" I'm not thinking only of your champagne

- Dr. Falke: , vodka
- [points to the Russians]
- Dr. Falke: , and Coca-Cola

- Dr. Falke: . We're very proud that you love us so much and I can assure you that we love you, too. But even the dearest friend loses a bit of his attraction if he overstays his time. Don't you agree? So if you don't mind: go home. Come back as our guests. But please... go home.
