Joyeux Noël Quotes

Daniel Brühl as Lieutenant Audebert

• (General Audebert) "How did you let yourself --"
• (Daniel Brühl) "If you came to preach, leave now."
• (General Audebert) "Don't you realize the gravity of this? It's high treason. Punishable by death."
• (General Audebert) "Only we can't execture 200 men. That's all that saves you. Not counting all the other cases of fraternization reported since. If public opinion hears of this --"
• (Daniel Brühl) "Have no fear, no one here will tell."
• (General Audebert) "I hope not. Who'd want to?"
• (Daniel Brühl) "Want to? The men involved feel no shame. If they won't tell, it's because no one would believe or understand."
• (General Audebert) "I don't understand you. Carousing with the enemy while the country's partly occupied."
• (Daniel Brühl) "The country? What does it know of what we suffer here? Of what we do without complaint? Let me tell you, I felt closer to the Germans than those who cry, "Kill the Krauts." before their stuffed turkey."
• (General Audebert) "You're talking nonsense."
• (Daniel Brühl) "No, you're just not living the same war as me. Or as those on the other side."
• (General Audebert) "You and your men will rejoin the Verdun sector. You're right about one thing. I don't understand this war. My corps was the cavalry. You should have made a career of it, like I said. Today, I'm asked to fight a way where the shovel outweighs the rifle. In which people swap addresses with the enemy to meet when it's all over. Plus the cat we found with a note from the Germans, "Good luck, comrades." I was ordered to arrest the cat for high treason -- until further notice."

• (Daniel Brühl) "I heard last night about your wife. If you like, I can get a letter through to her."
• (Daniel Brühl) "Why would you do that? If you got caught --"
• (Daniel Brühl) "One letter won't stop us winning the war. And anyhow, when we'll have taken Paris and it's over, you can invite us for a drink in Rue Vavin."
• (Daniel Brühl) "You don't have to invade Paris to drop round for a drink."

• (Daniel Brühl) "Our artillery will shell you in 10 minutes, so I suggest you come shelter in my trench."

Dany Boon as Ponchel

• (Dany Boon) "A summit meeting, and we're not even invited."

• (Jörg) "Felix. Where have you been? Felix."
• (Dany Boon) "No, his name is not Felix. It's Nestor."
• (Jörg) "It's Felix."

• (Dany Boon) "No, it's Nestor. It's Nestor."
• (Jörg) "Felix."
• (Dany Boon) "See? Nestor. It's Nestor. See? It's Nestor."

Christopher Fulford as All

• (Le Kronprinz) "Be seated."
• (Le Kronprinz) "In two days' time, you will be in East Prussia to take part in an offensive against the Russian Army. I hope you'll show pugnacity in the face of the enemy. This train will cross the fatherland but it won't be possible for you to see your families. Why? I think you can guess. Long live Kaiser Wilhelm."
• (Christopher Fulford) "Long live the Kaiser."
• (Le Kronprinz) "They hand it out to just anybody."

• (Bishop) "Christ our Lord said, "Think not that I come to bring peace on earth. I come not to bring peace, but a sword." The Gospel according to St. Matthew. Well, my brethren, the sword of the Lord is in your hands. You are the very defenders of civilization itself. The forces of good against the forces of evil. For this war is indeed a crusade. A holy war to save the freedom of the world. In truth I tell you: the Germans do not act like us, neither do they think like us, for they are not, like us, children of God. Are those who shell cities populated only by civilians the children of God? Are those who advanced armed hiding behind women and children the children of God? With God's help, you must kill the Germans, good or bad, young or old. Kill every one of them so that it won't have to be done again. The Lord be with you."
• (Christopher Fulford) "And also with you."
• (Bishop) "May God Almighty bless you. The Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost. Amen."
• (Christopher Fulford) "Amen."
