The Blue Max Quotes

James Mason as General Count von Klugermann

• (James Mason) "I'm afraid it's rather a small medal, Willi, but it's the highest Germany can give."

• (James Mason) "Stachel. I want him brought to Berlin immediately."
• (Loni von Friedl) "Yes, Herr General."
• (James Mason) "There is some difficulty?"
• (Loni von Friedl) "Well, I don't know what you have in mind, Herr General, but, uh, with the offensive at its height, well, there'd have to be some legitimate excuse to order him to come."
• (James Mason) "He's wounded, isn't he?"
• (Loni von Friedl) "Yes, Herr General."
• (James Mason) "Hmm. A mentionable wound?"
• (Loni von Friedl) "Uh, in the arm."
• (James Mason) "Good. The people like soldiers who were shot in the right places. Order Stachel to Berlin for special hospital treatment. I want you to ensure that all our newspapers give full prominence to this gallant episode -- photographs, everything."

• (James Mason) "Take a look outside. See that? Revolution is just beneath the surface. If that happens, everything we stand for will be DESTROYED -- unless the German officer corps stands like a rock, intact. And what is more important, untarnished. I made this Stachel into a national hero for good military reasons. If I court-martial him now, it will reflect on the integrity of the whole officer corps."
• (Karl Michael Vogler) "Herr General, I see now, I have notions of honor which are outdated."
• (James Mason) "Ahh, they're not outdated."
• (James Mason) "Stored. With care, and love, for better times."

Jeremy Kemp as Willi von Klugermann

• (Jeremy Kemp) "By the way, Stachel -- there's an impression around that -- you care more about your unconfirmed kill than you do about Fabian's death."
• (George Peppard) "Perhaps it's force of habit. In the trenches, we couldn't even bury the dead; there were too many of them. I've never had the time -- to discuss them over a glass of champagne."

• (Jeremy Kemp) "Well, aren't you coming? It's an order."
• (George Peppard) "Why?"
• (Jeremy Kemp) "Because our commanding officer has made it one. He believes in chivalry, Stachel."
• (George Peppard) "Chivalry?. To kill a man, then make a ritual out of saluting him -- that's hypocrisy. They kill me, I don't want anyone to salute."
• (Jeremy Kemp) "They probably won't."

George Peppard as Bruno Stachel

• (George Peppard) "You've got 18, haven't you?"
• (Jeremy Kemp) "Squadron Rule #1, Stachel: Gentlemen never parade their military achievements."
• (George Peppard) "Any rule against -- saying how long it took you?"
• (Jeremy Kemp) "I would say that was covered by the same rule, wouldn't you?"
• (George Peppard) "No. I wouldn't. How many rules are there?"
• (Jeremy Kemp) "I don't know: none of them have been written down."

• (George Peppard) "Well, I suppose I might as well say it."
• (Ursula Andress) "Say what?"
• (George Peppard) "You're beautiful."

Derek Newark as Ziegel

• (Derek Newark) "I can't keep these barges flying forever -- I'm a mechanic, not a magician."
• (Karl Michael Vogler) "No, Ziegel, you ARE a magician, whether you like it or not."

Karl Michael Vogler as Otto Heidemann

• (Karl Michael Vogler) "Yes, I understand -- but I don't agree with killing helpless men."
• (James Mason) "Otto, this is 1918 -- things have changed. Unrestricted submarine warfare, bombing of civilians, poison gas. Ask your wife -- she's a nurse. Ask Elfi about the mustard gas casualties."
• (Karl Michael Vogler) "So you approve of this kind of ruthlessness."
• (James Mason) "We fight to win, Otto."
