Rachel Hansen: Better that you find this out now before you come home and find her in bed with Lars from Norway.

Did Col. Landa know that Shosanna was the girl he...

– Bridget von Hammersmark
Lt. Aldo Raine: Well I speak the most Italian, so I'll be your escort. Donowitz speaks the second most so he'll be your Italian cameraman. Omar speaks third most, so he'll be Donny's assistant.
