"Is this some trick to make me care about the Germans? Because I guarantee you, it’s not working."

"A woman chancellor of Germany? What’s next, an American TV show featuring a woman president?"

"The question remains: Will the people of Germany obey her? If she wears a black leather uniform and slaps a riding crop against the side of her leg, I believe they will."
