Quotes
-
Herman : Will you two stop quarreling? If you two can't live together peacefully, how can there ever be peace on the Earth? The last two people on Earth, they would kill each other.
-
Herman : Maybe suffering is an attribute of God.
-
Herman : The Talmud is such a great book. It doesn't explain what a man should do with two wives.
-
Herman : Stop it. Stop that. Stop it. Stop it. You're swearing like a fishwife.
-
Herman : Look, since Yadwiga knows, we can all be friends. Ja? No, it's good. This way I'll have fewer lies to tell.
-
Herman : I bought a bulb.
-
Herman : Oh, Masha. Oh, Masha, Masha. You know, Tamara's right. I'm a lost man. I can't decide. I can't decide between women. I can't decide on anything. I - Masha. Masha.
-
Herman : Maybe your mother's better off. She doesn't have to make any more decisions. That's the one advantage to being dead.
-
Herman : I wish I had the wife.
Rabbi Lembeck : If you want one, you could have one. I picked out a fine woman for you. You wouldn't even meet her. What are you afraid of? You wait long enough, you'll marry a shiksa. The subject for my next speech... "Mixed marriages: The plague of the Jews."
-
Rabbi Lembeck : Look, I wanted us to be friends. But there's something about you that makes it very difficult. I could help you a great deal, but you close up like a clam.
Herman : Uh, maybe. Maybe I am no longer a part of this world.
Rabbi Lembeck : Clichés. Empty words. I know hundreds of concentration camp survivors, some of them practically on the way to the oven, but they're doing fine. They drive cars, they do business and they have telephones.
Herman : Maybe that's my problem. I was hiding in a barn.
-
Herman : I will not go to synagogue once a year like these assimilated hypocrites who call themselves Jews!
