Inspector Morand
- Major Grau: One of them is a... a murderer.
- Inspector Morand: Only one? But murder is the occupation of Generals.
- Major Grau: Then let us say what is admirable on the large scale is monstrous on the small. Since we must give medals to mass murderers, why not give justice to the small... entrepreneurs.
- Inspector Morand: Welcome, Colonel Grau, to the spider's web.
- Major Grau: How did you know it was me?
- Inspector Morand: What other German Colonel would enter unannounced?
- Major Grau: Any SS Colonel would.
- [In the years after the war, Inspector Morand can be seen talking with former General von Seidlitz-Gabler]
- General von Seidlitz-Gabler: You must have noticed, my daughter and wife are not on good terms. In fact, they haven't spoken to one another since the war.
- Inspector Morand: That's sad.
- General von Seidlitz-Gabler: I myself only see my daughter once or twice a year. And very briefly at that. She lives on a farm near Munich. We meet in a railway station with her child. It's the only way I can get to see my grandson.
- Inspector Morand: Your daughter is married?
- General von Seidlitz-Gabler: Yes. To a farmer named Luckner. She was never the same after the war. Poor girl. Something happened to her, I don't know what. It's hard to help children, isn't it? Particularly if one's wife... well, it was impossible after Paris. Anyway, that's all I see of her. But why do you wish to see her?
- Inspector Morand: In Paris, many years ago, she knew a young man.
