Four Sons

The Schoolmaster:
Books, Herr Postman, are friends that never deceive,

Joseph - Her Son:
[to his mother] Another letter from Fritz Kellner asking ne to come to America - It's a great country - America. Everyone is equal. If I only had the money.

Major von Stomm:
You have a son in America. Give me his letters.

Mother Bernle:
I haven't heard from him in many months - not since the war.

Major von Stomm:
The better for you. He's a traitor fighting against the Fatherland!

The Iceman:
[Hearing a voice groaning in German out in no-man's land] Hey, Dutch, what's that guy yellin' out there?

Joseph - Her Son:
The poor devil's calling 'Mutterchen' - it means 'little mother.'

The Iceman:
- I guess those fellows have mothers too.

Von Stomm's Orderly:
[Giving the Major a luger to commit suicide. It is apparent to the Major that a worse fate awaits him if he doesn't] A parting gift from the regiment, Herr colonel - to speed you to a better world. Shall we say - in ten minutes? [He closes the door slowly, leaving the Major alone with a leering smile on his face]
