Read our Review of Inglourious Basterds
(speaking to a dairy farmer about his ability to find Jews hiding from the Nazis in the French countryside) "The feature that makes me such an effective hunter of the Jews is, as opposed to most German soldiers, I can think like a Jew where they can only think like a German, more precisely like a German soldier. Now if one were to determine what attribute the German people share with the beast it would be the cunning and the predatory instinct of the hawk. But, if one were to determine what attributes the Jews share with the beasts it would be that of the rat."

(trying to make a deal with Lt. Raine) "Oooh, that's a Bingo. Is that the way you say it, that's a Bingo? (Lt Raine: "You just say Bingo.") Bingo, how fun."

(breaking a German soldier, Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz, who killed 13 Gestapo officers, out of jail) "We just want to say we are a big fan of your work. When it comes to killing Nazis, I think you show great talent and I pride myself for having an eye for that kind of talent. Your status as a Nazi killer is still amateur. We've come here to see if you wanted to go pro?"
- Lt. Aldo Raine,
Inglourious Basterds
(talking to eight Jewish recruits he hopes to make part of his unit) "My name is Lt. Aldo Raine and I'm putting together a special team and I need me eight soldiers, eight Jewish American soldiers...once we're in enemy territory as a bushwhacking gorilla army we're going to be doing only one thing and one thing only,"
- Lt. Aldo Raine,
Inglourious Basterds
(continuing to talk to his recruits) "You join my command, you take on a debt, a debt that you owe me personally. Each and every man under my command owes me one hundred Nazi scalps and I want my scalps. And all of you will get me my scalps taken from the heads of one hundred dead Nazis or you will die trying."
- Lt. Aldo Raine,
Inglourious Basterds
(just before he carves a swastika on a prisoners forehead) "When you take off that uniform ain't nobody gonna know you was a Nazi and that don't sit well with us. So I'm gonna give you a little something you can't take off."
