• It's Man : [the very first line of the series]  It's...

• Nazi : Vot is the big joke?

  Interrogated Officer : I can only give you name, rank, and why did the chicken cross the road?

• German Radio Voice : [English translation of the fatal joke]  There were zwei peanuts walking down the strasse, und one was assaulted - peanut.

• Nazi : I want to know the joke.

  Interrogated Officer : All right. How do you make a Nazi cross?

  Nazi : [thinking]  I don't know. How do you make a Nazi cross?

  Interrogated Officer : Tread on his corns.

  Nazi : [getting his toes stomped on, he jumps around, shouting in anger]  That's not funny!

  [he pretends to backhand the officer, with a Gestapo agent clapping to simulate the strikes] 

  Nazi : Now, if you don't tell me the joke, I shall hit you properly.

  Interrogated Officer : I can stand physical pain, you know.

  Nazi : Ah, you're no fun.
