Eli RothQuotes

Lt. Aldo Raine: You probably heard we ain't in the prisoner-takin business; we in the killin Nazi business. And cousin, business is a-boomin'. Up the road apiece, there's an orchard. Now, besides you, we know there's another kraut patrol fucking around there somewhere. Now if that patrol were to have any crackshots, that orchard would be a god-damn sniper's delight. If you ever want to eat a sauerkraut sandwich again, you gotta show me on this here map where they are, you gotta tell me how many there are, and you gotta tell me what kind of artillery they're carrying with them.

Sgt. Werner Rachtman: You can't expect me to divulge information that would put German lives in danger.

Raine: Well, now Werner, that's where you're wrong, because that's exactly what I expect. I need to know about Germans hiding in them trees, and you need to tell me, and you need to tell me right now. Now, just take that finger of yours and point out on this here map where this party's being held, how many's coming, and what they brought to play with.

Rachtman: [''Placing his hand on his chest''] I respectfully refuse, sir.

Raine: [''Rapping sound''] Hear that?

Rachtman: Yes.

Raine: That's Sgt. Donny Donowitz. You might know him better by his nickname: the Bear Jew. Now, if you heard of Aldo the Apache, you gotta have heard of the Bear Jew.

Rachtman: I've heard of the Bear Jew.

Raine: What did you hear?

Rachtman: He beats German soldiers with a club.

Raine: He bashes their brains in with a baseball bat, what he does. Now, Werner, I'm gonna ask you one last god-damn time. If you still respectfully refuse, I'm calling the Bear Jew over. He's gonna take that big bat of his, and he's gonna beat your ass to death with it. Now, take your wiener schnitzel lickin finger and point out on this map what I want to know.

Rachtman: [''Softly''; ''screams''; ''The Basterds all laugh.''] Fuck you... and your Jew dogs!

Raine: Actually, Werner, we're all tickled to hear you say that. Quite frankly, watching Donny beat Nazis to death is the closest we ever get to going to the movies. Donny!

Sgt. Donny Donowitz: [''From within a cave''] Yeah?

Raine: We got a German here who wants to die for his country! Oblige him!

Donowitz: [''Appears from cave and taps medal on Rachtman's chest''] Did you get that for killing Jews?

Rachtman: [''Donny makes a few practice swings on Rachtman's head and then proceeds to bludgeon Rachtman''] Bravery.

Basterds Squad: Yeah! Oh, no! Donny! Yeah, Donny!

Raine: [''To Wehrmacht captive Butz''; ''Basterds laugh''] About now I'd be shitting my pants if I was you.

Donowitz: [[w:Ted Williams|Teddy Fucking Williams; [w:Fenway Park|Fenway Park; ''to another prisoner''; ''Prisoner begins running and Hirschberg shoots him''] ] knocks it out of the park! ] is on its feet for Teddy Fucking Ballgame! He went yard on that one, on to fucking Lansdowne Street! You!

Raine: Damn it, Hirschberg! Donny, bring that other one over here... ALIVE.

Donowitz: [''To Butz''] Get the fuck up! Batter up. You're on deck! Two hits. I hit you, you hit the ground.

Raine: English?

Corporal Butz: Nein

Raine: [''Wicki translates''; ''Butz quickly points; the Basterds laugh''] Wicki! Ask him if he wants to live. Tell him to point out on this map the German position.

Raine: [''Butz replies''] Ask him how many Germans.

Wilhelm Wicki: Around about 12.

Raine: [''Butz replies''; ''Butz replies''] What kind of artillery? Now, when you report what happened here, you can't tell them you told us what you told us. They'll shoot you. They're going to want to know why you're so special we let you live. So tell them we let you live so you could spread the word through the ranks what's going to happen to every Nazi we find. If you survive the war, when you get home, whatcha gonna do?

Wicki: He's gonna hug his mother.

Raine: [''Butz replies''] Well, ain't that nice. Ask him if he's gonna take off his uniform.

Wicki: He's gonna burn it.

Raine: [''Snaps fingers''; ''Draws his [[w:Bowie knife|Bowie knife] Yeah, that's what we thought. We don't like that. See, we like our Nazis in uniforms. That way you can spot em just like that. If you take off that uniform, ain't nobody gonna know you was a Nazi. That don't sit well with us. So I'm gonna give you something you can't take off.
