: : : : On Last Crusade the nazi's keep on saying stuff like "Hanna bago!" and a few times we joked around saying "Hand me a bagel" but what does it really mean? Remember the Nazi said it after he smacked Henry for yelling "Jr!" in the tank? Someone answer! See ya's, Shorty.
: : : : "It's poker Shorty, anything can happen." -Indy, Tod.
: : : Hanna bago means nothing. I don't know what it can be.
: : : -Webley-
: You do speak german Webley? I didn't know that!

: : The Nazi actually says "Keine Bewung"- or something like that which means "No movement", but probably, "Don't move." I was wondering that myself since he says it so much!

: You may be right Ulla, I think that's what he said. I will check it tonight to be 100% sure.
: Another thing: The phrase "Javolt, Meine Herr!" used by Max McCoy is horribly wrong written. It's "Jawohl, mein Herr!".
: I am sorry to say this because I like his books very much but Max should have had a better editor and lecturer to get ther German sentences right.

I'm sorry, Sas c|:) !
Is "Javolt" really pronounced more like "Jawohl"? I noticed that in "Hollow Earth", but, to tell you the truth, what EXACTLY does "Jawohl" mean?
