" Yes A wonderful leader" "You'll meet him" "Aren't you coming to the settlement?" "There isn't another for eight miles." "I told her we were looking for work." "We should be glad to, but, uh, there are four of us." "Don't worry." "When 111 people sit down for supper, four more won't make any difference." "[Lohrmann] Did you say 111?" "Thirty-nine brothers, 47 sisters and 25 children." "Hmm." "What are you?" "Mormons?" "Mormons?" "No." "Hutterites." "[Laughs] I didn't mean we were all one family." "We're only brothers and sisters in God." "Hurry up, boy." "You are a slow boy." "Anna, more bread for our guests." "We're sorry about the bread." "Mmm." "I know a bit about baking." "If you don't mind my saying so, you ought to get a new baker." " We had a good one, but he went to Small Springs." " Mmm." "Better pay?" "Pay?" "Oh, no one gets paid here." " Doesn't anyone get paid anything?" " No." "Well, what do you work for, then?" "Just your keep?" "No." "For us all." "What, all these people work for nothing?" " Yeah." " What sort of work?" "Whatever suits them best." "Well, what do you mean?" "They don't choose themselves, do they?" " Haven't you got a leader of the community?" " Yes." "There he is over there." "Where?" "Which is your leader?" "There." "Third from the right." "Well, doesn't he tell the people what sort of job they've got to do?" "Oh, no." "We tell him what we want to do." "Then how can he be your leader?" "How do you mean?" "Well, anyone works at whatever job they like, then." "Yeah, that's right." "If somebody can make shoes, he makes shoes." "If he wants to be a blacksmith, he works in the forge." "If somebody feels he can preach, well, he preaches." "Well, what's your specialty?" "I'm... the baker." "When you sell your stuff in Winnipeg, what happens to the money?" "We buy new tractors, build houses, found new settlements." "We just founded a new one over at Small Springs." "And if someone leaves you and then wants to come back, don't you punish them?" " Punish?" " Yes." "Don't you send them to a camp or something?" "Camp?" "Why a camp?" "No, we just take them back because our religion tells us to." " The Hutterite religion?" " The Christian religion." " ## [All Singing]" " Is it one of your rules to sing like this?" "We haven't any rules." "We sing because we like to." "It's good for the digestion." "## [Continues]" "Well, good night." "The leader will look after you." " Thank you." " What's the salute?" "The what?" "Don't you give the leader a salute?" "[Chuckles]" " Good evening, friends." " Good evening." "On behalf of my friends and myself, I have to thank you for your kindness... in giving us food and shelter." "You're welcome." "I hear you come from up north in the woods, or down north, as we call it here." "Yes." " Just come out?" " Last week." "Are you Germans?" "I ask, are you Germans?" "Yes." "Are you ashamed of it?" "Of course not." "I'll show you where to sleep." "[Hirth] Thank you" "[Man] Most of us are Germans" "You may find some from the same part of the old country as yourselves" "Anna, I thought you would have told them all about us." "[Vogel] We mostly discussed birthdays." "[Chuckles] Well, it's quite an event with us, the 16th birthday." "It means that one has grown up at last." "Come in, please." "This house belonged to Hugo Waldner... one of our brothers who has gone to the new settlement." " At Small Springs?" " Yes." "You see, we are like bees." "If we get too many, we send out a swarm." "So the house is empty and at your service." "Good night." " Sleep well." " [Hirth] Good night" "Hmm." "That's what I call a busy girl." "It's nothing." "I make 14 beds every night." "That's a lot of work." "We have a lot of men who have no mothers and who aren't married yet." " So somebody has to make their beds." " Quite right." "Two of you can sleep in here, and there are two more beds in the other room" " Where do you sleep?" " In Peter's house." " In Peter's house?" " But I don't make the bed for him" " Poor Peter." "Why not?" " Because he has a mother to look after him." "[Vogel] Haven't you a mother?" "No." "She was drowned." "Drowned?" "In the sea." "When we left Germany... we went to England... because we had to wait until we got a permit to come to Canada." "We got our permit after war was declared." "Was your father with you?" "Wait a minute." "I want to hear about her mother." "Her ship was sunk." "[Kranz] Torpedoed?" "I think so." "Don't you know?" " Was there a big explosion?" " [Anna Whimpers]" "Shut up, you two." "You and your questions." "Don't answer them, Anna" "Oh, leave that." " Run along now." " I'll take her home." "All right, you take her." " Good night, Anna." " Good night." "Chins up." "[Hirth] Remember then, do nothing without orders" "Discipline is more important now than ever" "So far, luck has been with us" "It's a great stroke of fortune being here at all" " Do you think they are friendly, Herr Leutnant?" " Friendly?" "Yes." "But you saw how their leader tried to draw us out." ""Are you Germans?" "Are you ashamed of being Germans?"" " That in a country with which we are at war." " There can only be one answer to that." "Our agents have done their work well." "Yes." "This religion may be nothing but a cover." "I bet they sing the "Horst Wessel" song better than hymns." "We shall see that tomorrow." "Heil Hitler" "Heil Hitlerl" "Shut the door." "Well, Vogel, who knows?" "Rerhaps one day the story of our adventures will all be written in a book" "In a few years time, it may be the basis of compulsory lectures to the Hitler Youth." "The ships we sank, with women and children aboard... the lifeboats we shelled — mmm, we were good at that." "What we did to the Eskimos at the post... the unarmed men we shot in the back." "You forget, Vogel, we're at war." "We can't expect to win without the methods of total warfare." "Men, women and children — they're all our enemies and must be treated as such." "Did you never read what Bismarck said?" ""Leave them only their eyes to weep with."" ""Leave them only their eyes to weep with."" "Did he say that?" "Those were his actual words in the war of 1870" "You should study Bismarck He was a great German" "A great German." "You know, Vogel, I'm worried about you." "You're a good fellow, but you don't discipline yourself." "You give way to emotions That'll land you in trouble one of these days" "Why don't you take an example from Kranz, a fine, soldierly fellow" "You could be just as good a Nazi as he is if you tried." " Are you listening, Vogel?" " Yes, Herr Leutnant." " Then think it over." " Yes, Herr Leutnant." " And get out of bed and turn out the light." " Yes, Herr Leutnant." "[Sighs]" "Vogel, I —" "[Snoring]" " Herr Leutnant?" " Either of you seen Vogel?" " No, Herr Leutnant" " Well, get dressed at once." " [Woman] Good morning, friend." " Good morning." "He's asking for you." "Oh?" "All right." "Well?" "Aren't you going?" "Well, I can't go till I've got this lot ready." "What shall I tell him?" "I'll be along in a minute." "[Chattering]" "[Man] Now, where's this new baker I hear about, eh?" "Ah." "Now, that's what I call bread." " [All Murmuring Agreement] - [Man] You'll have to teach David the trick" "[David] Trick or no trick, I could never make bread as good as that" "Cheer up, David." "It took me seven years." " Why ever did you want to give it up?" " I didn't want to give it up." "I had to." " You see, we all had — - [Door Slams]" "[Man] Reterl Just come and look at this breadl" "Good morning, friend." "Mr. Vogel is the best baker we've had here in 15 years." "I can't imagine why his last boss let him go" "Must have been crazy lfhe wasn't then, he is now" "Congratulations, Vogel." "It was a good idea." "Round the barn!" "What's the news in Winnipeg?" "The market was good for geese." "People are asking for Hutterite geese." "I don't like that, Andreas." "No?" "For 300 years our brethren have wandered from place to place... from country to country... because of the jealousy of others." "This is a good country, Andreas." " I met Frau Habermann." " Yes?" "Oh, her trial was on today, wasn't it?" "Her husband and her eldest son, Eric, are to be interned." "She is free." "Bad luck... just at harvest time." "It wasn't a good day for the trial." "Papers are full of stories about those Germans who landed from a U-boat down north." "They seem to have acted like wild beasts, killing and stealing." " What's Frau Habermann going to do?" " I had a talk with her." " She needs help on the farm." " It'll be difficult." "We'll talk it over." "Tell the others we'll have a meeting tonight, yes?" "[Exhales] Air's heavy." "I'm afraid we're going to have a storm tonight." "Sorry." "Sorry I'm late, Peter." "Barbarina, there's an electric storm playing all around us... frightening the animals and your chickens." " Move over, Philip." " What about you, Anna?" " Andreas." " Huh?" " One of our guests is speaking." " Eh?" "What?" "Oh!" "Good!" "We're discussing the Habermanns." "I was about to say... you have one clear choice." "Where there is a question of blood... where one is governed by the deepest of racial instincts... then every other consideration is swept aside." "Men like yourself— German, or of German ancestry— rise up with all the might and power of the great German people behind you conscious of the sacred duty that binds us all together... and in the knowledge that he who doesn't forget his people... will not by his people be forgotten." "There is a new wind blowing from the east... a great storm coming across the sea... a hurricane which will sweep aside all the old, outmoded ways oflife and mark the beginning of a new order, not only for Europe" "but for the whole world" "Let those beware who would have the temerity to stand in its way." "They will go down before its irresistible impulse... and be crushed out of existence!" "But for those who accept the new order or those who perhaps belong to it already why need I use these parables of speech any longer?" "I mean, all of you here tonight — yes, you, brothers —" "I call you brothers and proudly acknowledge you as such." "You who formed a little stronghold of our people here in Canada... you will have your share of the happiness and prosperity... that is waiting for us all when the storm is over and the sun rises — that mighty sun —" "which will give us everything we need in life" "What sun are you talking about, friend?" "I am talking of the greatest idea in history— supremacy of the Nordic race, the German people." "I am talking of the being whose name I am certain lives in every heart... whose name hangs on all our lips... whether we can shout it to the world or only whisper it in one another's ears." "Germans!" "Brothers!" "I ask you to join with me in paying homage to our glorious führer." "Heil Hitlerl" "[Kranz, Lohrmann] Heil Hitlerl" "[Thunder Rumbling]" "I don't ask where you come from or what brought you here... although you've left us in no doubt as to your beliefs." "Someone has given you, no doubt deliberately... a completely false impression of us." "We are only one amongst many foreign settlements in Canada." "There are thousands of them in this part of the world." "And they have been founded, some recently, some 80 years ago... by people who left their homes in Europe because of famine... because of starvation... because of racial and political persecution... and some, like ourselves, because of their faith." "Some came only to find new land new boundaries, a new world" "But all have found here in Canada... the security... the peace and tolerance and understanding... which, in Europe... it is your führer's pride to have stamped out." "You call us Germans" "You call us brothers." "Yes." "Most of us are Germans." "Our names are German." "Our tongue is German." "Our old handwritten books are in German script." "But we are not your brothers." "Our Germany is dead." "However hard this may be for some of us older people... it's a blessing for our children." "Our children grew up against new backgrounds, new horizons." "And they are free... free to grow up as children... free to run and to laugh without being forced into uniforms... without being forced to march up and down the streets... singing battle songs." "You talk about a new order in Europe." "The new order... where there will not be one corner... not a hole big enough for a mouse... where a decent man can breathe freely." "You think we hate you, but we don't" "It is against our faith to hate." "We only hate the power of evil which is spreading over the world." "You and your Hitlerism... are like the microbes of some filthy disease... filled with a longing to multiply yourselves... until you destroy everything healthy in the world." "No." "We are not your brothers." "What do you want?" "I am come to tell you that you can make your own beds." "I don't want to work for you." "[Vogel] That's all right, Anna Run along now" "You're Nazis, aren't you?" "Aren't you?" "We're not allowed to hate anybody." "But I hate you." "I believed you'd escaped from an internment camp." "I should tell the police about you." "You killed my father... because he said your führer was the Antichrist." "You drowned my mother." "I hate you." "I hate you!" "So you're going to tell the police about us, are you?" "Little girls should be seen and not heard." " That will do." " What's the matter with you?" " That will dol" " Vogel." "Come along, Anna." "I'll take you home." " Herr Leutnant, we can't let them go." " I'd like to see what you're going to do about it." " Vogel!" " Yes, Herr Leutnant" "Have you forgotten who you are?" " No, Herr Leutnant." " Let the girl go and shut the door." "I'll take her home, Herr Leutnant" "[Door Closes]" "Is that you, Anna?" "Yes, Peter." "I brought Anna home." "She's all right." "We're going now, perhaps in a few minutes." "I only wanted to say that you've been kind and I like it here." "You like my bread, and I like the way you live." "Being with you has made me feel like it used to be at home." "I'd almost forgotten what it was like... baking bread, doing my real work." "That's how it used to be seven years ago before everything changed." "The life I've been living seems to have no sense in it now." "Well, I'd better go now." "Please don't go." " Are they still talking?" " Hush, child." "Go to sleep." "How can a man like you, Vogel —" "I mean, you're a simple, good human being." "How can you get mixed up with such a lot of gangsters?" "What can you do?" "When you're a boy, you like playing soldiers." "When you're a young man, you can't get work unless you belong to them." "When you're an old man, you're anxious not to lose what you've got." "But there are thousands of men like you, Vogel... men who don't like the way things are going." "I suppose so." "I suppose they don't know themselves." "I didn't know." "It's as if a blind man said he doesn't know the sun shines." " I suppose so." " Why don't you stay with us, Vogel?" " Do you mean it?" " Of course I mean it." "Even if you know who I am, where I come from—" "I don't care who you are or where you come from." " I know you." " Thank you, Peter." " It will mean internment." " What's it matter?" "I'll come back after the war." "This is your home."

"The sentence will be carried out immediately in the name of the führer." "[Gunshots]" ""Investigations by the R.C.M. P... have resulted in finding the remains of a Canadian Airways sea plane... similar to the one stolen by the five Nazis at Wolstenholme" " Give me the glasses." " What for?" " Food." " You can't eat them." "I can sell them." " They're his." " Come on, come on." "They belong to the fatherland." "It wouldn't let us starve, would it?" "Congratulations, Lohrmann." "No field glass has ever had a better end." "We shall view the future better through these." " [Chuckles] How much did he give you?" " Seven dollars." "Well, what are you waiting for?" "You saw what the bulletin said." "They're watching the border." "But they don't know there are only three of us." "They still think there are five." "The police aren't fools." "They'll find out soon enough." "If we're caught, it won't matter whether there are three or five or 10 of us." "We're going to change our plans." "We're going to Vancouver." "Vancouver?" "AJapanese ship leaves Vancouver in a month's time." " Is it far to Vancouver?" " About 2,000 kilometers." " We can never get as far as that." " The führer has never admitted the word "can't."" "Neither should we." "Our one consideration must be how to get to —" " [Man] Ham sandwich, sir" " How to get home." "Doesn't matter how we do it, but we will get home." "That's how he works." "He says that it's Germany's destiny to rule Europe." "Doesn't matter how she achieves that destiny, but she will achieve it." "He gave me this." "These Canadians give everything away." "The road west is plain enough." "Follow the River Assiniboine for 50 miles." "Do we start now, Herr Leutnant?" "No." "No, we sleep tonight in the railway station." "Tomorrow we'll catch a bus outside the city limits, then walk." "He wanted us to fly to Vancouver." "Said it would save a lot of time." " [Chuckling] What did you say, Herr Leutnant?"

"One, who appears to be the leader... is a well-built man of medium height" "He has very definite features, a commanding manner is clean-shaven, brown hair" "He wears a blue suit and tan shoes and carries himself as ifhe'd been drilled" "There is no very good description of the second man." "He is thin and inconspicuous in his manner" "He wears a suit of some light color and a hat tilted over his eyes" "He may be carrying a bulky rucksack." "The third man is short and dark."

"I must ask all of you to stay exactly where you are... and not talk or move." "All of you, as citizens, can help to bring these men to justice." "Each one of you, look closely at your neighbor."

" A nuisance, isn't it?" " Hmm?" "The war, I— Anyhow, up here in the Rockies the war seems so remote, one can't take it so seriously" "Of course one knows one half of humanity is trying to wipe out the other half, but... up here among the mountains and the spruce forests... one sees it in perspective."

""From the earliest age, their small boys were trained in the arts of war..." ""which they considered to be the only pursuit worthy of a man." ""But they preferred to attack by night, rather than by day" ""and wherever possible, to shoot the enemy in the back" ""Their smaller neighbors lived in constant danger from them." ""They also believed in first terrorizing their opponent... by covering themselves in war paint and beating loudly on their tribal drums."" "Well, doesn't that sound familiar to you?" "Familiar?" " I don't quite understand" " Well, what price Goebbels, eh?" " Very similar." " Yeah, you see, don't you?" "And listen to this." "This is wonderful." "Come here, sit down." "Uh, oh, yes."

" That's not a very nice way of putting it." " But you'll do your best to escape it." "Do you mean I'm —" "I wonder if I am." "I don't think I'm a coward." "I've never really been in any great danger." "I don't exactly know how I'd behave." " I can imagine how you'd behave." " I beg your pardon?" "I said, "I can imagine how you'd behave."" "[Chuckles] Well, you are an extraordinary fellow." "You're certainly frank." "So you despise my mode of life, eh?" "Well, I'm getting some revelations tonight Maybe it'll do me good" "Maybe I'm becoming a little smug" "I imagined you'd been thinking, "Here's a nice, decent sort of chap." ""Invites me to dinner when he doesn't even know me" "Amiable." "Full of interesting conversation."" "And instead of that, you think I'm —" "Go on, what do you think I am?" "This ought to be enlightening." "If you were a real man, you'd have struck me across the face when I suggested you were a coward." "Instead of which, you talk about it." "Well, why not?" "I may write about the customs of red Indians 200 years ago... but I don't have to behave like one." "After all, we've been given reasoning powers and the gift of speech."

"This is a new experience." "So I've been entertaining gangsters." "Well, what do you want?" "Money or what?" "You don't believe we'd shoot you, do you?" "Such a thing couldn't happen to Mr. Philip Armstrong Scott." "Anything unpleasant must be kept as far away as possible... as far as the war, 5,000 miles away." "Suppose I was to tell you that the war is right here in this tent?" "I don't suppose you've heard of the U-boat that was sunk in Hudson Bay and the six Germans who escaped." "So that's who you are — Nazis." "Well, that explains everything." "Your arrogance, your stupidity, your bad manners —" "Get over there by your books!" "Oh, dear." "Do I have to be tied up?" "Excuse us, Mr. Scott." "We still employ savage, tribal methods." "They get results." "The best thing that's happened to us is meeting you." "You've put the heart back into us." "There are only two of us now." "Two out of six brave men." "There are millions like us in Germany." "Any more of your sort here, you don't stand a chance of winning this war." "We'll see to that." " Get the clothes out of there." " Well, they won't suit you." "Not much there, I'm afraid." " Thirty-three dollars." " Do I get a receipt?" "There's only one suit here You better have the overcoat" "Interesting." "So far, I don't feel the least afraid." "No sign of trembling." "Pulse appears to be quite steady." "Mouth a bit dry perhaps." "Here." "Rifles." "Ah, you feel happier now, don't you?" "Look out." "Wars may come and wars may go, but art goes on forever, eh?" "Stop!" "Thomas Mann." "Yes, I have read this book." "We kicked this swine out of the Reich years ago." "There's something else too" ""Blackfoot Tribal Customs"" "Think yourself lucky we don't burn you too."
