Inglourious Basterds - Identity and Intent in Dialogue
Major Dieter Hellstrom:
Now, gentlemen, around this time you could ask whether you're real or fictitious. I, however, think that's too easy, so I won't ask that yet. Okay, my native land is the jungle. I visited America, but the visit was not fortuitous to me, but the implication is that it was to somebody else. When I went from the jungle to America, did I go by boat?
Bridget von Hammersmark:
Yes.
Hellstrom:
Did I go against my will?
Von Hammersmark:
Yes.
Hellstrom:
On this boat ride, was I in chains?
Von Hammersmark:
Yes.
Hellstrom:
When I arrived in America, was I displayed in chains?
Von Hammersmark:
Yes!
Hellstrom:
Am I the story of the negro in America?
Cpl. Wilhelm Wicki:
No.
Hellstrom:
Well, then, I must be King Kong.
