Okay, here's the new quote.  "--/-----/---/-/----/------/-----/------------/---/-------,/---/------/-/------/---------/-----./ ----'-/---,/-----?" "------,/----/------!" "--/-------------/--/----/----/--------/--/------------./ ---/--/-/-------/---/--------/--/---/----?/ --/--------/----/--/----/----/--/------/--/-----!" "----?" "---/--------/----/---/----/----..." "-/-----/-------,/-----." "...---/---/--/-----."

I'd wirte the letter in German if I knew how, butt...
A
I think, therefore, I get bananas.
When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.
What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?
I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.

Butt? As in a butt sticking out from a yellow towel? And what German letter are you referring to? Ä? Ö? Ü? ß? Needless to say, they don't occur in this quote.
So, let me give you an A.
"A-/-----/---/-/----/-a----/---a-/----a-a-----/---/-------,/---/-a----/a/-a----/------a--/-----./ ----'-/---,/-----?"
"-a----,/----/------!"
"--/-------a-----/--/--a-/----/------a-/--/--------a---./ ---/--/-/-------/---/--------/--/---/--a-?/ --/--a-----/----/--/----/----/--/------/--/A----!"
"--a-?"
"---/--a-----/----/---/----/----..."
"-/---a-/-------,/-----."
"...---/-a-/--/-----."

Okay, that's supposed to be "I'd write".
The German letter that coincides with the English A, or the start of the German alphabet to be exact.
I typed the post, saw the extra T in but, and decided to leave it, just for fun. Yes, I did think of Yellow Towel when I posted.
Now, I guess...R.

Actually, Woody, we have the same alphabet as in English. There are some additional letters, but they are made up of two combined letters, like a+e=ä, o+e=ö, u+e=ü and s+s=ß.
So, here are E, R, and T.
"A-/-e---/---/-/-e-e/-a----/---a-/-re-art-----/--r/--r-er-,/--e/ea--e-/a/rat-er/----rta-t/----e./ ----'t/---,/-e---?"
"-a----,/-err/---t-r!"
"--/---er-ta-----/--/t-at/t---/---er-a-/--/------era--e./ ---/--/-/-er--r-/t-e/e------/--/---/-e-?/ --/--a--e-/----/--t/e-e-/----/E-/----re/-e/A-er-!"
"--at?"
"---/--a--e--/----/--t/e-e-/----..."
"-/--ea-/E------,/-e---."
"...t-e/-a-/--/-tee-."

Overlooked the L. Sorry about that. So, here are H, L, O and S.
"As/He---/a--/-/-e-e/-a----/---al/-re-arat-o-s/-or/s-r-er-,/she/ra-se-/a/rather/---orta-t/-ss-e./ ----'t/-o-,/He---?"

DR. PESCADO: As Heidi and I were making final preparations for surgery, she raised a rather important issue. Didn't you, Heidi?
HEIDI: Jawohl, Herr Doktor!
DR. PESCADO: My understanding is that this Superman is invulnerable. How do I perform the excision of his head? My scalpels will not even nick El Hombre de Acero!
SPENCER SPENCER: What?
HEIDI: His scalpels will not even nick...
SPENCER SPENCER: I speak English, Heidi.
HEIDI: ... The Man of Steel!

Go with it babsi. I get enough of them anyways, plus I am almost running out of phrase ideas. And I like guessing.

It's not only a (very short) German sentence, but also a Spanish expression. So, Babsi, over to you!
