Both wrong! Although some subsequent movie after the one I have in mind might have duplicated the line. And I think I have the sequence wrong. I think it should go, “Mein herr, ballon?” ---

All I can think of is the scene in _ **TMMiTFM** _ where the German pilot punches a hole in his balloon with the spike on his Pikhelm. ---

You’re closer to the decade it was made, and on the right continent. Have to post a link to the [scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U_2AWPm4IE&t=80s), because it’s so cool and creepy. ---
