Nicole Dormer quotes from The Man in the High Castle

Cut! Okay, cut. This is the old America. You are the new America. I want to see you full of power, energy. [to cameraman] In fact, get the camera off the sticks and move it in closer. Follow them. We need to feel the kinetic potential, the vitality of the new American Nazi youth. Okay, boys, what you're doing here is important work. You're erasing the past, replacing it with a better world, a world that is entirely yours. We ready? Okay, back to the start, please. Ready. And action! [the workmen start smashing the marble with more strength; instructing cameraman] Now get down low, underneath them, as they work. Shoot up. Make him look heroic.

Billy Turner

They can't pull this shit on me last minute. The Fritz Kuhn deal is my deal. I don't need some German chick fresh off the rocket plane to tell me which way's up. [a woman enters the office]

Nicole Dormer. German chick.

Turner

[shakes her hand] Sorry. Billy Turner. Minister of Propaganda, and world-class idiot. Welcome to New York, fraulein. First time?

Hardly.

Turner

Miss Dormer...

Nicole.

Turner

Nicole. I think there are some transatlantic crossed wires on this little renaming ceremony.

[reads sample propaganda posters] "Fascism is freedom"? "Freedom to prosper." "Freedom to explore." "Freedom from fear." "Freedom to propagate"?

Turner

That's the new campaign.

New? Sounds rather familiar.

Turner

Brand-new.

"Procreate to Populate, with Pride"?

Turner

That's the spring rollout to inspire our young brides to...

Fuck and be fertile?

Turner

I wouldn't quite put it that way.

[looks at draft art of a woman about to catch her baby] This image is perfect for a message from the Reich. Warmer, more maternal. Something like... forgive my English... perhaps... "Now more than ever, we care about you."

Turner

That's not bad. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, schatzi.

[narration] But it is among Thomas' own generation, among his fellow classmates, that he is most honored.

[in interview] I loved Thomas. I did. [sniffles] You know, ever since I met him in the second grade, he was always talking about the future. His plans. Everything that he dreamed about doing to make the Reich an even better place.

Thomas spoke about the future. Did he ever talk about his father?

All the time. Thomas idolized him.

[voiceover] Oberstgruppenfuehrer Smith is one of the American Reich's most decorated soldiers. [footage of Volkshalle rally] And just last fall, Smith was honored by Reichsfuehrer Himmler for saving the Reich from the traitor Heusmann. At this time of Smith's greatest triumph, his son Thomas was walking to his death. [cut to Thomas' tribute at his school] At the ceremony at Thomas Smith's high school, I witnessed an astonishing moment.

Reichsmarschall George Lincoln Rockwell

[in tribute speech] A boy with a dream in his heart.

[describing footage] Thomas' younger sister, Amy, instinctively stood to salute her brother. Child after child followed suit. And I wondered, what kind of man inspired such devotion and passion in his children? [cut to Smith] That man, John Smith. He bears a responsibility of being father to children and father to the entire nation. It's that immense and that simple.

Billy Turner

Turner.

Billy. Thank God. It's Nicole.

Turner

What's the matter?

Thelma's been arrested. We were having a drink - there was a raid.

Turner

A raid? Where the hell were you?

A club.

Turner

What kind of club?

For women.

Turner

Oh, shit. Look, I'll make some calls.

There were photographers.

Turner

Okay, I - I'll find out who.

Collect the film and, uh, send someone to pick her up.

Turner

Billy, you have to go yourself. If it comes out -

Of course. Of course. Yeah, you're right. Let me see what I can do.

Turner

Thank you.

We could not have hoped for a more spectacular start to Jahr Null.

Danke, mein Fuhrer.

But for now, you are being recalled to Berlin.

Is Miss Riefenstahl stepping down from her post?

No. Unfortunately, your high-handed behavior, your flouting all rules and conventions... Did you really believe perversion had no price? [sees Dormer's reaction] That club was raided on my orders. [as two guards come to take her away] You are being sent back to Berlin for a course of mandatory reeducation.

And what will happen to her? [referring to Thelma Harris]

Mrs. Harris' fate is not your concern.

[feels the guards hold her] Is that really necessary?
