Quotes 

• Günter Wetzel : People have always laughed at the great ideas.

  Doris Strelzyk : You want us to climb into a balloon and float away to West Germany?

  Petra Wetzel : Come on. It isn't funny to make jokes about going to the West.

  Doris Strelzyk : They're not joking.

• Günter Wetzel : I'm not gonna be a delivery boy all my life. I'm a mechanic. Damn good one and I've got a right to prove it.

  Petra Wetzel : There are other ways. Helicopters fly people out of Czechoslovakia.

  Günter Wetzel : [laughs]  How are we gonna get into Czechoslovakia? Sneak across that border with two little children? And even if we did, we don't have the money. They're charging ten, twelve thousand a ride.

  Petra Wetzel : You really think we can do it?

  Günter Wetzel : I know we can. We have to. The police are gonna find the Strelzyks and when they do, we're locked into it.
