Robert Stack credited as playing...
Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski
- Joseph Tura: Wait a minute. I'll decide with whom my wife is going to have dinner and whom she's going to kill.
- Maria Tura: Don't you realize Poland's at stake?
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: Have you no patriotism?
- Joseph Tura: Now listen, you... first you walk out on my soliloquy and then you walk into my slippers. And now you question my patriotism. I'm a good Pole and I love my country and I love my slippers.
- Maria Tura: Well, I hope your country comes first.
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: So do I.
- Maria Tura: This is an emergency! War!
- Joseph Tura: Look, look, look, I don't know much about the whole thing... but is this Siletsky a real danger to Poland?
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: A catastrophe!
- Maria Tura: He must be taken care of!
- Joseph Tura: Then he will be taken care of.
- Maria Tura: Well, who's gonna do it?
- Joseph Tura: I'm gonna do it.
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: But how?
- Maria Tura: Where?
- Joseph Tura: I'm gonna meet Herr Siletsky at Gestapo headquarters. And after I've killed him I hope you'll be kind enough to tell me what it was all about!
- Maria Tura: No, no, no. I think we've talked much too much about me. Tell me about yourself.
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: Well, there isn't much to tell. I just fly a bomber.
- Maria Tura: Oh, how perfectly thrilling!
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: I don't know about it being thrilling. But it's quite a bomber. You might not believe it, but I can drop three tons of dynamite in two minutes.
- Maria Tura: Really?
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: Does that interest you?
- Maria Tura: It certainly does.
- Joseph Tura: It's unbelievable! Unbelievable! I come home to find a man in the same boat with me and my wife says to me, "What does it matter?"
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: But, Mr. Tura, it's the 'zero hour'.
- Maria Tura: You certainly don't want me to waste a lot of time giving you a long explanation.
- Joseph Tura: No, but I think a husband is entitled to an inkling.
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: I hope you'll forgive me if I acted a little clumsy, but this is the first time I ever met an actress.
- Maria Tura: Lieutenant, this is the first time I've ever met a man who could drop three tons of dynamite in two minutes.
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: I have so much to tell you. When we're in the plane we can't talk, when we're in the tea room can't do anything but talk.
- [reaches out for a hug]
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: Maria...
- Maria Tura: [walks away] And when we're in the dressing room we must be very careful of my make-up.
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: My people are fortunately out of Poland; but, well, there is someone in Warsaw...
- Professor Alexander Siletsky: Oh, a lady?
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: Yes. It's a very confidential matter. Professor, I'd appreciate it if you'd tell her - oh, but don't tell her husband.
- Professor Alexander Siletsky: Now I know exactly what to do.
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: Just say, "To be or not to be." She knows.
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: I've seen you in everything you've ever played. I'll never forget how I laughed when I saw you in "Kiki".
- Maria Tura: Yes, some people thought I was funny.
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: But, you certainly weren't funny when you played Lady MacBeth.
- Maria Tura: Thank you.
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: I don't want to over-step myself, but, I'll take a chance. Would you permit me to show my plane?
- Maria Tura: Maybe.
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: The other night Professor Siletsky was addressing us at the camp and I mentioned the name of Maria Tura. And he never heard of her!
- Gen. Armstrong: Neither have I.
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: He's supposed to be a Pole who lived in Warsaw and she's the most famous actress in Warsaw.
- Gen. Armstrong: Now, look here, young man, there's lots of people not interested in the theater. As a matter of fact, there's only one actress I ever heard of and I certainly hope I'll never hear from her again.
- Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: Shhh! Not so loud. You might endanger all of us. After all, we're all in the same boat.
- Joseph Tura: Oh, the same boat, eh? Well, then, let me ask you something, as one sailor to another: what ill wind blew you into my slippers?
