M (1931 film)

"We're doing our job because we have a living to make. But this monster has no right to live. He must disappear. He must be exterminated, without pity… without scruples."

"[to Hans Beckert] You talk of rights… You will get your rights. We are all law experts here, from six weeks in Tegel, to fifteen years in Brandenburg."

"Girl in Circle: Just you wait, it won't be long, The man in black will soon be here, With his cleaver's blade so true, He'll make mincemeat out of you!"

"Pickpocket with Seven Watches: There are more police on the street tonight than whores."

"Tillie: Don't do that!"

"Children: [singing] Just you wait a little while, the nasty man in black will come. With his little chopper, he will chop you up!"

"Beggar: Stop snoring! You'll wake the lice."

"Tillie: BLEH!!"

"Berlin boasted the biggest film industry in Europe, producing in Fritz Lang's Metropolis the science-fiction masterpiece of the twenties and in the same director's M the definitive film noir."
