"Grand Hotel. People coming, going. Nothing ever happens."

　　"Now I'm a gambler, running at large, like a happy pig, devouring everthing of life that pleases me. I really belong in jail."

　　Kringelein: I know I oughtn't to presume, but I'm so grateful to you. It's been so marvelous. For the first time in my life, I've gambled and I've danced. You gentlemen can laugh, but for the first time in my life, I've tasted life! Life is wonderful, but it's very dangerous. If you have the courage to live it, it's marvelous. You don't know about that. You're healthy and happy. But I, believe me, if a man doesn't know death, he doesn't know life. It's a short life, but a gay one. Please, gentlemen, don't go, don't go. Come on. Drink to life, to the magnificent, dangerous, brief, wonderful life. And the courage to live it.

　　"The music has topped. How quite it is tonight. It was never so quite in the Grand Hotel."

　　"I don't believe it. He was a real gentleman. I know people."

　　There's a Grand Hotel everywhere in the world.

　　Grand Hotel. Always the same. People come, people go. Nothing ever happens.
