[edit] Max Bialystock
- That's it, baby, when you've got it, flaunt it, flaunt it!
- That's exactly why we want to produce this play. To show the world the true Hitler, the Hitler you loved, the Hitler you knew, the Hitler with a song in his heart.
- How could this happen? I was so careful. I picked the wrong play, the wrong director, the wrong cast. Where did I go right?
- Bloom, look at me. Look at me, Bloom! Bloom, I'm drowning. Other men sail through life. Bialystock has struck a reef. Bloom, I'm going under. I'm being sunk by a society that demands success when all I can offer is failure. Bloom, I'm reaching out to you. Don't send me to prison. [bellowing] HELP!!!
[edit] Singers
- Springtime for Hitler and Germany,
Deutschland is happy and gay.
We're marching to a faster pace:
Look out, here comes the master race!
Springtime for Hitler and Germany,
Winter for Poland and France.
Springtime for Hitler and Germany,
Come on, Germans, go into your dance.
- Don't be stupid! Be a smartie!
Come and join the Nazi Party!- Actually sung by Mel Brooks

- Leo: This won't run a week.
- Max: A week?! Are you nuts? This play's gotta close on Page 4!
- Leo: Just think! Yesterday I was a meaningless little accountant...and today, I am the producer of a Broadway flop!
- Max: [raising his glass] To failure!
- Leo: [raising his glass in return] To failure!
- Drunk at the end of the bar: Oh, thank you. That's very kind of you.
