Billy Turner quotes from The Man in the High Castle

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.

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.

Billy Turner

Jahr Null will be a live TV event broadcast across the Reich and the GNR.

Where will the Reichsfuhrer and the Reichsmarschall be?

Turner

On a VIP boat in the harbor. As close to the action as possible.

And will Nicole Dormer be on the boat?

Turner

Yes.

And where will I be?

Turner

On the boat, with me.

Will I have an interview with her?

Turner

No, she'll be directing, but, uh, I'll make sure to get you a statement.

Of course. I think I have this.

Turner

Okay, let's take five before the production meeting. [the other staff leave and Billy closes the door. to Thelma, coldly] Don't ever do that to me again. I had to make a lot of calls to clean up your arrest.

I'm sorry.

Turner

Stay away from Nicole.

All right.
