Comrade X (1940)

Sig Ruman: Emil Von Hofer

Quotes 

• Jane Wilson : Probably the government's decided that from now on all foreign correspondents must be blindfolded and lead around by seeing-eye dogs.

  British World Press Attendee : Ha-ha-ha.

  Jane Wilson : 'Anything to keep the truth out' is their motto.

  Emil Von Hofer : Please, Miss Wilson, do not speak for me. I am not complaining against the Russian government.

  Jane Wilson : My dear Van Hofer, a German journalist is not in the position of complaining against the absence of truth anywhere.

  British World Press Attendee : Quite you are, Miss!

  Emil Von Hofer : [Offended]  Excuse me!

  British World Press Attendee : With pleasure, old boy.

• Emil Von Hofer : Mr. Thompson, this is my room and I must ask you to vacate, if you please!

  Mac Thompson : Now, that's a fine way to talk. I get this room, I fix it up, I pay for it in advance and I live in it. And you march in and try to throw me out. Now, is that a nice way for a Nazi to act, I ask you?

• Mac Thompson : Germany just declared war on Russia! Ten tank divisions just moved into the Ukraine. And sniffle-puss, there, never told us a word about it!

  Emil Von Hofer : Who was that speaking?

  Mac Thompson : American Embassy!

  Emil Von Hofer : Liebe Himmler!

• Comrade Baronoff - Hotel Manager : German dog, out!

  Emil Von Hofer : Get your hands off me, you Russian dog!
