Quote #7
LUDWIG: Me and the boys talked it over. We think you're a really straight fellow.
GUSTAVE: Well, I've never been accused of that before, but I appreciate the sentiment.
LUDWIG: You're one of us now.
GUSTAVE: What a lovely thing to say.
Making friends in prison is easy. All you need to do is be overly polite and accommodating, provide delicious, hand-crafted pastries, and, uhh, "beat the living shit" out of them. Sounds simple enough.
Quote #8
HENCKELS: Monsieur Gustave? My name is Henckels. I'm the son of Dr. and Mrs. Wolfgang Henckels-Bergersdofer. Do you remember me?
GUSTAVE: I know exactly who you are. It's uncanny. You're little Albert.
HENCKELS: I'm terribly embarrassed. Release them. Release them. Your colleague is stateless. He'll need to apply for a revised Special Transit Permit, which at this point may be very difficult to acquire. Take this. It's temporary but it's the best I can offer, I'm afraid.
The kindness Gustave showed to a young Henckels repays him as Henckels has remembered Gustave and pays him back for his good deed. Sometimes loyalty is just a de facto part of a relationship, but in the Grand Budapest it's earned.
