The Road Back (1937)

Slim Summerville: Tjaden

Quotes 

• Tjaden : Its just goin' on and on. Nobody knows how to stop it now. It's got too big and too old. Might as well try and stop the Rhine.

  Ernst : It can't go on.

  Tjaden : What, the Rhine?

  Ernst : The war. We've no shells, no food. We're bandaging wounds with paper. It's got to stop.

  Willy : And you're the man who's going to stop it I suppose?

  Ernst : It's up to us to stop it together - you and I, the common soldier. It's in our power to stop it.

  Willy : It's not the war you'll stop - it's a bullet against the wall.
