- Mashka: Don't you want to kiss me?
- Baron Gregor de Bergmann: [Cutting a juicy pear with his knife and eating it as he talks] A pear is the best fruit!
- Mashka: Every time you see her, you want to be rid of me.
- Baron Gregor de Bergmann: [Seemingly ignoring her] Lots of juice in a pear!
- Mashka: Well, you'll find out I'll not be got rid of so easily! Do you hear what I say?
- Baron Gregor de Bergmann: Adam should've chosen a pear.
- Mashka: You've got it all planned, haven't you? You're gonna marry her. You're gonna make her your wife, your baroness!

- Baron Gregor de Bergmann: [as Anton lies dying in the well of the Black Room] Goodbye, brother. There's nothing to fear now. The prophecy can't be fulfilled.

- Anton de Bergmann: [Dying words] Even from the dead!
- Col. Paul Hassel: [Playing chess] Your attack is weak as your brother Gregor's was brilliant. Chess, by the way, was the only virtue I ever discovered in him.
- Baron Gregor de Bergmann: I received a letter today from him from Warsaw. Most of it was devoted to begging me to send his love to you, Colonel.
- Col. Paul Hassel: His love to me? Well, if I have to accept it, I'd rather have it by post than any way I can think of.
