RUDI: I used to smoke, in Paraguay. It’s a disgusting habit, I know. I’m returning to old habits here. (Beat). At the airport, the customs official had Band-Aids on his hands that were crusted over with dirt and pus. I kept looking at them as he went through my suitcase. Also, he was smoking and the ash kept falling onto my clothes.

[... … …]

We were cutting up beetles and looking at the insides of them, and Hermann said something like “That's what your father did to the Jews”. It was a sort of. . . joke. I was surprised, I didn’t get the joke.
