Dieter

Some Dieter quotes:

• "Vhy is it that the truly brilliant are doomed to a life of obscurity, surrounded by a sea of mediocrity, only to end up covered in sores in a pool of their own filth? Oh vell, the beat goes on."
• "Vould you like to touch my monkey? Touch him! Love him! Liebe meine abst-monkey."
• "Gregor Was, your presence intimidates me to the point of humiliation. Would you care to strike me?"
• "Genius! By seemingly embracing the cliches of the vest, he is underscoring its excruciating banality."
• "In your film Irritant Number Four, the only images were that of a baby's head and a toilet. Did you mean for me to scream?"
• "I'm happy as a little GIIIIIRL."
• "You plug your show with the subtilty of a flying mallet."
• "Your agony is gorgeous."
• "Textures intrigue me."
• "Your story has become tiresome."
• "A fat man and a shprinkler are soon together."----Old Bavarian adage
• "Yes, Ve are doomed and I am filled with remorse, and it is most delicious."
• "Sadly, Klaus is limited. But he is beautiful, is he not?"
• At Dieter's Dance Party , in response to a record being rated -3 on a scale of 1 to 14, Dieter says, "Sadly, there are no integers on this scale, so your gangly adolescent attempt to be clever has proved futile."
