Corporal Hartmann
- General Kahlenberge: You're to stay with him every minute of the day. Twenty-four hour call, do you understand?
- Corporal Hartmann: Yes, sir.
- General Kahlenberge: He may want to go out at night. Do you know anything which might interest General Tanz? Nightclubs or girls, that sort of thing.
- Corporal Hartmann: A few, sir, but, uh... I don't really know what the general's taste is, sir.
- General Kahlenberge: Let us hope that whatever it is, it is not you, Corporal.
- [Hartmann looks at him in shock]
- General Kahlenberge: However, if it should be, remember that you're serving the fatherland.
- Corporal Hartmann: ...I'll try to remember, sir.
- General Tanz: You've been a satisfactory orderly, and companion.
- Corporal Hartmann: Thank you, sir.
- General Tanz: Except for the bath water this morning.
- Corporal Hartmann: I'm sorry, sir.
- [at the museum, General Tanz can be seen viewing a portrait of Vincent Van Gogh. As he looks at it, he begins to have a seemingly manic reaction to it. While watching, Hartmann becomes concerned. After a few seconds, he suddenly grabs Tanz by the arm. Suddenly, Tanz comes to his senses before glaring intensely at Hartmann]
- General Tanz: [sharply] How dare you touch me!
- Corporal Hartmann: [nervously] Excuse me, sir, but... but...
- General Tanz: *Never* do that again!
- [General Tanz can be seen sitting with Corporal Hartmann at an outdoor café in Paris. As they each have a drink, they can be seen talking]
- General Tanz: Tell me, when it comes to the final choice... who is more important? You? Or I?
- Corporal Hartmann: A General is more important than a Corporal, sir.
- General Tanz: Of course. Never forget that, no matter what happens.
- [at a café in Paris, General Tanz can be seen speaking with Corporal Hartmann]
- General Tanz: Give me your wallet, Corporal.
- [Hartmann looks surprised by the sudden command as he reaches into the pocket of his coat and pulls out his wallet]
- General Tanz: I shall take a short walk.
- [Tanz takes a wallet of his own and pulls out some money. Which he places on top of Hartmann's wallet. As he's doing this, he notices that the latter's wallet contains a picture of Ulrike]
- General Tanz: You have good taste.
- [Tanz puts his wallet away and stands up]
- General Tanz: Pay the bill and leave an adequate tip. When I return, I may wish to study further details of Parisian nightlife.
- Corporal Hartmann: Yes, sir.
