The Book Thief Page #3

I'm not going to

waste good money...

on a stamp for a letter that's

never going to be answered.

What was I to say?

Hans?

Alex.

Good man.

Are you ready to go?

Of course he is.

Liesel!

Come on, Liesel,

we'll miss the parade.

Right.

Come on, let's go.

Saumensch.

Hello, Rudy.

During this National

Socialist revolution

as much as our nation prospers,

we should not decrease

our determination to

cleanse ourselves morally

and intellectually from within

Education, theater,

films, literature, the press

these are the supporting pillars

which shape the unique

personality of our nation

And that is why we

have gathered here tonight

to free ourselves from

any intellectual dirt

We will exterminate the illness

that infected Germany

for the last twenty years

We will completely

destroy the chains

that were forged to enslave us

We will fight our

enemies and if that means war

then we will stand by our

Fuhrer until the final victory

Such a war will see

our nation restored

and bring an end to our enemies

The end of plutocrats

The end of communists

And the end of Jews

To our great German Empire

and to our beloved Fuhrer,

Adolf Hitler

- Sieg!

- Heil!

Hey, Jesse Owens.

Push off, Franz.

Leave him alone.

Did you like the speech, Dummkopf?

Were you listening?

What about it?

Your mother was one, wasn't she?

A communist?

That's what they say.

Who's "they"?

You even look like one.

What are you talking about?

I'm not talking

to you, Steiner.

She knows.

Burn a book.

Go on, burn a book.

Go on! I'll be watching.

Both of you.

What was that about?

Nothing.

Liesel.

Where have you been? I said

to meet me at the church.

Sorry, Papa.

Let's go now.

What is it?

Nothing.

Are you sick?

Nein. I'm fine.

Tell me, what is the

matter with you?

What the hell is this?

You stole it?

Sorry, Papa.

Are you going to tell Mama?

Papa?

Did anyone see you?

I'll tell you what.

Let's make this our secret.

We'll read it like the other book.

In the basement.

Thank you, Papa.

Good, now.

We better get back before Mama worries.

We don't want that.

Liesel, come.

What is it?

Liesel?

My mother isn't

coming back, is she?

Is she a communist?

Who told you that?

Is she?

Did the fuhrer take her away?

Then I hate the fuhrer.

Nein.

You can't say that.

Don't ever say that.

Understand?

Come.

"The Invisible Man

by H.G. Wells. "

Sounds good.

"Chapter one.

"The Strange Man's Arrival.

"The stranger came early in Feb... "

"February. " Ah.

Good girl.

Who's that?

Papa, who is it?

Hans Hubermann?

Ja.

Do you still play the accordion?

Quickly.

Papa!

Liesel, go to bed!

What is this?

Max.

No. No.

Help me.
