Quotes
-
Il padre : I've considered killing myself, but I don't have the courage.
-
Eva : Did you get the Number 2 Card?
Edmund : No, they kicked me out because I'm not fifteen yet.
Il padre : I knew that would happen. Still, I'm glad you're not going anywhere. That's too much work for a boy your age.
Edmund : But it would have meant more to eat. For Karl-Heinz, too.
Il padre : Did you hear that, Karl-Heinz? You know that poor Edmund, at his age, can't support all of us. He's still a child. But you, what do you do? You keep hiding. You didn't even register for a food card.
-
Edmund : It wasn't my fault. I was with other boys.
Il padre : Enough! I don't want to hear any lies!
Eva : He didn't mean any harm, Papa. He wanted to get something to eat.
Il padre : I'll do without.
Karl-Heinz : Me, too. I'd rather die of hunger.
Eva : Easy for you to say.
Il padre : I can't stand it anymore, here in this bed.
