- John Banner as Ernst delivers a hilariously Deadpan Snarker set of lines:Ernst: Regular army? No. I'm too old. Too fat. Home guard. We are patrolling the border so the young, strong, and handsome men can go to Russia and freeze to death. Wonderful system. (laughs)

Oh, you think I'm not loyal to the Führer, but I am. He's a great man. Whatever he tells me to do, I do. He sends message to the Home Guard: he says, "if the enemy puts a foot on German soil it is your duty to drive him out!"
[beat]
You are the enemy. I cannot *drive* you out; I have no car. So I make you walk out!
