The Great Waltz
1938
Johann 'Schani' Strauss II: Thanks for firing me, Mr Wertheimer. Goodbye, you worms!
Johann 'Schani' Strauss II: He's the greatest music publisher in Vienna! Fritz Schiller: Well, he's still Hofbauer.
Julius Hofbauer, Music Publisher: Mark my words, young man, if it hasn't got the imprint of Hofbauer, it isn't even music.
Carla Donner: The only composers I ever knew were fat little men with bald heads.
Policeman outside Hohenfried's: Don't forget to turn out the light. Johann 'Schani' Strauss II: I was just going to arrest her, don't you see how guilty she looks? Policeman outside Hohenfried's: I wish my wife looked as guilty as that.
Johann 'Schani' Strauss II: I don't care who sings this! Vienna will sing this!
Carla Donner: Where are we? Coachman: Where you wanted to be, in the Vienna Woods, and it's only six o'clock in the morning, and you have a long and beautiful day ahead of you.
Julius Hofbauer, Music Publisher: He must be full of marches after a revolution like this.
Poldi Vogelhuber: We don't have revolutions every day, thank Heaven.
Carla Donner: You probably deserve him more than I do, but he's going with me.
Johann 'Schani' Strauss II: Have you ever been on the Danube?
Johann 'Schani' Strauss II: And the earth, and the blood of life itself is vanity.
Johann 'Schani' Strauss II: Something difficult and honest had to be said, and it was just like you to say it.
Emperor Franz Josef: Tell me, is there still anything about me that annoys you?
