Candy Confronts Kaunitz in Berlin, Explained：asked for it
In a Berlin cafe, Kaunitz makes a scene and the room turns on the Englishman. Candy gives as good as he gets, and when he calls the Alldeutsche Verband shameful, the warning comes back: "You are not now in England." From there, the argument only escalates.
あらすじ
At a Berlin cafe, Kaunitz spots Candy and deliberately makes a scene. Candy tells him to stop, then handles the man himself; the German crowd blames the English visitor. When Candy says the Alldeutsche Verband should be ashamed of itself, a voice reminds him he is no longer in England.

What's really going on
The scene is a diplomatic quarrel played out in a cafe, where manners matter more than fists. Kaunitz turns a personal grudge into a public performance, and Candy refuses to lower himself to it — until he does, and then the room turns his act of self-defence into an insult to Germany. The key line is the cold reminder, "You are not now in England," which tells him that his assumptions about fair play do not travel. Candy answers with the logic that will define his whole life in the film: if the officers belong to that organisation, then they should be ashamed of it too. He is not arguing about the facts on the table; he is insisting that some standards apply everywhere. What the others hear is provocation, and what follows will be a duel.
Theme
PrideCandy will not let an insult to his country stand, even when he is outnumbered; his dignity matters more to him than the safe response.
CourageStanding alone in a hostile room, he says what he believes rather than what will calm the crowd, and accepts that a duel may follow.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Kaunitz make a scene in the cafe?
To humiliate Candy in public. He turns a private grudge into a performance for the room, counting on the crowd to side with him against the foreigner.
What does "asked for it" mean?
It means someone brought the trouble on themselves and deserved what came. Candy uses the idea to justify his response to Kaunitz's provocation.
Why does the room turn on Candy?
Because he humiliates a German in front of other Germans. The crowd reads his self-defence as an insult to the country, and they tell him he is not protected by English rules here.
Why does Candy say the officers should be ashamed too?
Because they belong to the same organisation he has just condemned. His point is one of principle: if the group spreads lies, its members share the blame, whatever their uniform.
