Jacob the Liar (1974)

Friedrich Richter: Dr. Kirschbaum

Quotes 

• Josefa : What's wrong, Brother?

  Dr. Kirschbaum : I'm afraid. I am very afraid. The radio could be bad news for us all. You know these pigs.

  Josefa : Let's call it a day. You can be afraid in bed.

• Dr. Kirschbaum : Dear God. Protect us from this great disaster. Don't let anything happen at this stage. You have protected us for so long. Stop the Germans from finding the radio. Make the spies blind. Only you know how many spies are here. Fool them. Let the Russians get here real soon. Destroy the radio before it destroys us. You know how cruel our tormentors can be.

  [the light starts flickering and then goes off] 

  Josefa : Don't give up. All radios need power. Congratulations.

  Dr. Kirschbaum : Thank you, dear God. A wise decision.

  Josefa : You have connections in high places.
