How do I know why there were Nazis???

That's one of my favourite lines ever, it's so random and hilarious, yet it also has a bizarre kind of logic to it, it's almost saying "don't try to understand these things, you'll only end up confused." It reminds me a lot of another Woody line that I love, from Deconstructing Harry in which Harry espouses his anti-religious view:

"If it's a choice between air conditioning and the Pope then I'll take air-conditioning".












"Reality is the new fiction they say, true is truer these days, truth is man-made"

Even in his mediocre films (Hannah was one of his great ones), Allen always has excellent dialogue with hysterical lines. There must be hundreds of memorable ones in his films.

I used to live in Prague and in the early 90's I saw several Woody Allen films there (in English with Czech sub-titles). It was bizarre to be the only person in the theatre to laugh at certain lines, but not all of Woody's lines are accessible to foreigners.
