Lola (1981)

Karsten Peters: Editor

Quotes 

• Editor : You promised me a scandal, but you brought me contracts.

  Von Bohm : Of course I brought you contracts. You think the devil nowadays still stinks of sulfur and has a hairy tail?

• Editor : What goals could the ruling class be pursuing?

  Von Bohm : The goal of getting rich.

  Editor : But that's why contracts are signed.

  Von Bohm : But at what cost? I'll tell you. At the cost of the poor. Those without rights. The exploited.

  Editor : They get something out of it, too. If one person gets rich, the others get rich, too. Maybe not exactly rich, but they're not as poor as they were before. That's why we call our market economy a social one: because there's something in it for everyone. Those are the rules of the game. Understand?

  Von Bohm : Yes, I understand. The rules of the game. That's what I told my advisor: that the rules of the game have be changed.
