 FACT: In Greece, just before the large explosion, Avner, a  supposedly fluent German speaker asks "kann ich ein Licht haben?" as  he asks for a light for his cigarette, to which the person responds  "sind Sie Deutscher?" ("Are you German?"). All native speakers and  all (English speaking) students of German know that this is a  fundamental error from the direct english translation. The correct  question is: "Kann ich Feuer haben?", which translated into English  means "Can I have fire?". As a result the corresponding question  ("Are you German") is superfluous, as he obviously cant be!
