Elsa Korr: [after Jojo tells her his race is superior, she has him in a headlock; [w:Aryan race|Aryan; releases Jojo roughly] Break free. Break free, Great ], there are no weak Jews.

I don't want you to kill yourself over me, which a couple of girls have done in the past, and it's pretty stressful. I need you to stay alive. Thank God you've been taken care of by that kid, who I must say is a remarkable young man beyond his years. And brave too.

Jojo Betzler: [a fake letter from Elsa's fiance Nathan] Dear Elsa, this is hard for me to say but, I don't want to marry you anymore. I found a new woman, and we laugh a lot, and do the tongue kiss.

Jojo Betzler: OK, here's the situation. If I tell on you, you’ll be in big trouble and I don’t think you want that.
