Die Post geht ab (1962)

Adrian Hoven: Willy

Quotes 

• Barbi Lothar : What are you painting there?

  Willy : [using a paint brush, he is printing on his Bus with red paint]  I am giving my Bus a name: "Caesar."

  Barbi Lothar : And why not "Columbus"?

  Willy : [thinks it over]  "Colum-Bus"? Not bad. In fact, much better. You are not as untalented as you look.

  Barbi Lothar : [walking away]  I've got aptitudes of which you do not even suspect.

• Willy : [expected a million bucks cash, he hands his inheritance papers to a bureaucrat, they walk downstairs]  If you don't have the money in a safe, you can just give me a check. I can't carry that much cash anyway.

  Bureaucrat in Probate Court : [they walk outside to the parking lot, he points to an old rust-bucket of a broken-down minibus]  There stands your inheritance.

• Franz : So tell me at last, what did you actually inherit?

  Willy : A minibus.

  Franz : That's great. Then we can finally drive together on vacation.

  Willy : On one condition: no women.

  Franz : I'll go along with that.

• Franz : [at the very beginning of the movie, he and 4 musicians are walking along the sidewalk, accompanying Willy on his way to Probate Court]  Say, Willy, what was your uncle anyway?

  Willy : A transport entrepreneur.

  Franz : And so he left you a few million?

  Willy : [high strung]  Fellas, don't make me nervous. So long, till tonight.

  [quickly waves good-bye, and hurries into the building.] 

  Franz : [to the 4 musicians, quips]  No sooner does he inherit something, he gets cheeky.
