Listen, you absolute cabbage, you think you're so smart? This isn't some deep, philosophical thing, it's a joke. The professor is talking about the American Dream, which is this whole idea of success and opportunity. Then, he asks the German exchange student about a 'German dream.' But here's the kicker, the German student responds as if they *had* a dream, but it was so awful, nobody wanted anything to do with it. It's a dark, historical nod, you get it? Or are you too dumb to get it?
