Imro Kuchar: Why are you running away? Afraid of your own brother-in-law?
Antonin Brtko: He can go to hell!
Imro Kuchar: Well, he may go soon. Our little Führer's gotten fat! It's all that fancy food and wine they get. He has the face of a bishop. The local god.
Antonin Brtko: To me he's the same, a good-for-nothing scrounger, Mr. Commander!
