Where I am, we have to move them out

now, quickly, wipe them away.

- Yeah, not to return.

- Never to return.

There are labor shortages

in the Reich and elsewhere we control.

- There is no argument about that.

- Everywhere, and in our four-year plan...

Not that f***ing four-year plan again.

But our war is against the Jews.

I do not see the logic...

We won't sterilize them and wait until they

die, or sterilize and exterminate the race.

That's farcical.

Dead people don't hump or get pregnant.

Death is the most reliable form

of sterilization. Put it that way.

So who is deferred?

First-degree mixed married to Germans

with second-degree children are exempt.

Individually, first-degree mixed

who have special privilege.

- For labor, if needed...

- I can't give a rule for everything.

Can I just say one word more?

In the obligation

to maintain a lawful society...

Another lecture.

...what we would be saying to those...

Where we depart from the law

in deporting a Jew married...

Good! Deport them!

- A new law will be required...

- Write it! Why don't you write it?

Consider:
The Jews are taken away.

The German spouses will inherit

the property of the Jewish spouses...

...go to court,

and apply for a death certificate.

What happens to your secret killings then?

No matter what you call them,

the secret is out, dear friends.

Perhaps not inheritance.

Perhaps divorce, freedom to remarry.

So a requisite divorce mechanism...

...dealing with these marriages

to be terminated...

...becomes the Reich's responsibility

to its German citizens.

- F***.

- I am speaking.

Except for those initiated before

the spouse is deported...

...the courts will be so busy with divorces,

they'll be on 24-hour shifts.

- The litigation wait will be decades.

- Or longer.

I have no sympathy with Germans who

climbed in bed with members of the tribe.

Nor do I.

I ask myself, "What is his concern?"

When the ruling principle

of our government and our party...

...is to make Germany Jew-free,

you are arguing to let these Yids stay?

To influence, to operate freely,

with the exception that you neuter them?

They are not free.

The law restricts them, it isolates them.

I am merely speaking of...

- Perhaps the judge has love for them.

- Yes, special love.

For whom? For Jews?

Wonderful. You don't have my credentials.

Forgive me. From your uniform,

I can see that you're shallow...

...ignorant, and naive about the Jews.

Your line, what the Party rants on about...

...is how inferior they are,

some subspecies...

...and I keep saying how wrong that is!

They are sublimely clever!

And they are intelligent as well.

My indictments to them are stronger

because they are real...

...not your uneducated ideology.

They are arrogant, self-obsessed,

calculating and reject the Christ.

I won't have them pollute German blood.

- Please, Doctor.

- He doesn't understand.

And neither do his people.

Deal with the reality of the Jew,

and the world will applaud us.

Treat them as imaginary phantoms,

evil, inhuman fantasies...

...and the world will have

justified contempt for us.

To kill them without regard for the law

martyrs them...

...which will be their victory.

Sterilization recognizes them

as a part of our species...

...but prevents them from being

a part of our race.

They'll disappear soon enough.

And we will have acted in defense

of our race and of our species...

...and by the law.

He spoke of the Law

for the Protection of German Blood.

He spoke of the Law

for the Protection of German Blood.

I wrote that law.

When you have my credentials,

then we'll discuss...

...who loves the Jews and who hates them.

Pigs don't know how to hate.

I know, too,

when it comes to the half-mixed...

...that to kill them abandons

that half of their blood which is German.

I'll remember you.

You should. I'm very well known.

- We should take a moment just to...

- Absolutely.

If I may, for a moment.

Dr. Stuckart has raised the question of

administrative consequences of evacuation.

He is a very brilliant scholar of the law...

...and, I'm sure, just as totally committed

to a Jew-free Europe as any of us.

Let us take a moment.

Go on with the food.

More lemon.

If you are suggesting that you have

dominion over me, just remember this:

Even the Party,

which I have served loyally since 1922...

...answers to the government.

They both answer to the Fhrer.

You may be a friend of Gring...

...but if you're a betting man,

put your money on Bormann.

Hear you've been flying

that little plane of yours.

This morning, yes.

I'm never comfortable off the ground.

Not me, I admit.

Nietzsche advises the secret

to enjoying life is to live dangerously.

He enjoyed it so much he went mad.

Look at the world,

and tell me the pleasures of sanity.

Excuse me, Doctor.

Would you join me for a moment?

Thank you.

We will accomplish this.

I will not allow administrative

technicalities to slow it down.

Every agency will jump to follow my order,

or arses will sting.

And there are no shortages of meat hooks

on which to hang enemies of the state.

This will be an SS operation.

And as the war goes on, the SS will

more and more command the agenda...

...and put marks against the names

of the less than cooperative.

You have a choice to make.

You understand that I respect the...

Please.

You will still have to make your choice.

Do not let a strutting...

...imbecilic, porcine prick

like Klopfer make it for you.

I'd rather not see the bullies...

...I admit we have more

than our share of them in the SS...

...take too much of an interest in you.

- Interest in me?

- Do you not think?

And all I want from this meeting

is unanimity...

...and no trouble

getting what has to be done, done.

With you at my side, so much is possible.

I've done this arithmetic.

The real size of the labor force is already

a million less than the figures show.

The economic considerations are not

the only considerations.

I'll say they're not.

Have you done the extrapolations?

My friend, with due respect,

may I say, "F*** the extrapolations"?

I hope you understand,

I want to be as useful as I can.

- We must be in contact.

- Exactly.

No one listens.

From where he sits,

he does not have the ghettoes or the stink.

And he's burglarizing administrative

control from the Governor-General.

- Privileges of rank.

- I don't hear any urgency.

Privileges of rank. The higher you go,

the more infallibility is bestowed.

But I don't hear any

cut-the-bureaucracy solutions.

Our problems.

You're right.

He does not have our problems.

Crap. "The privileges of rank."

All that matters is the SS blood group

tattooed under your arm.

That's a secret password for you people.

What are these suspicions?

I will tell you this: When cholera hits

the ghettoes, and typhoid...

...your tattoos won't protect you

from shitting your guts out...

...until you dry up and die.
