Col. Hans Landa: Now if one were to determine what attribute the German people share with a beast, it would be the cunning and the predatory instinct of a hawk. But if one were to determine what attributes the Jews share with a beast, it would be that of the rat. If a rat were to walk in here right now as Im talking, would you treat it to a saucer of your delicious milk? Perrier LaPadite: Probably not. Col. Hans Landa: I didnt think so. You dont like them. You dont really know why you dont like them. All you know is you find them repulsive. Consequently, a German soldier conducts a search of a house suspected of hiding Jews. Where does the hawk look? He looks in the barn, he looks in the attic, he looks in the cellar, he looks everywhere *he* would hide, but theres so many places it would never occur to a hawk to hide. However, the reason the Führers brought me off my Alps in Austria and placed me in French cow country today is because it does occur to me. Because Im aware what tremendous feats human beings are capable of once they abandon dignity. ~ Inglourious Basterds
