i wonder if people realize what this little speech really means.

it's right out of Alexis Tocqueville and his view of American democracy as being one of productivity but little genius.

[GoweExile]

The ironic thing is that the Swiss didn't even produce the cuckoo clock - the Bavarians did

Great line even if its historically inaccurate. Love the scene and the soundtrack of this film

[Edward Largo]

the Swiss have redeemed themselves by giving us the Third World dictator stashed out, stolen millions in Swiss banks.

which leads us to a debate about local patriotism.

[Leopold Hensel]

its even more ironic, that neither the Swiss, nor the bavarians and not even the Swabians inveted it. It was invented in the Black Forrest, where the people of Baden live in,

What's even better is that the last few lines were totally improvised by Mr.Welles.

[WholeKogan]

the ironic thing is that neither the bavarians nor the bavarians produced it but the swabians.
