Erwin Kalser credited as playing...
Geneva Man
- Geneva man: [a Red Cross official is inspecting the camp just after Sefton was beaten on suspicion being an enemy informant. The official sees his injuries] What happened to you? Were you beaten?
- [Sefton doesn't answer]
- Geneva man: Why don't you answer?
- [to the German officer escorting him]
- Geneva man: What did you do to this man?
- Sefton: They didn't do nothing.
- Geneva man: Who beat you?
- Sefton: Nobody beat me. We were playing pinochle. It's a rough game.
- German Lieutenant: Here we have a typical barrack. It houses 75 men. Every one of them has his own bunk, naturally.
- Geneva man: Naturally. It would be rather awkward to have three men in one bunk.
- German Lieutenant: As for the blankets, you will notice they're very warm. 50% wool.
- Geneva man: They also smell of mothballs. When were they issued? This morning? What do you do for heat in this barrack? No stove.
- German Lieutenant: The men here used it as a trap door, so we had to remove it temporarily.
- Geneva man: How long is temporarily? I trust not until July.
- Geneva man: I want to talk about Lieutenant Dunbar. Is this Lieutenant Dunbar?
- Oberst Von Scherbach: It is.
- Geneva man: What exactly is he charged with?
- Oberst Von Scherbach: Whatever it is, it's out of your jurisdiction. This man is not a prisoner of war. Not anymore. He's a saboteur.
- Geneva man: He's a prisoner of war until you can prove sabotage.
- Lt. James Skylar Dunbar: I didn't do it. I was in the Frankfurt station and the train was three miles away when it blew up.
- Oberst Von Scherbach: Come now, you threw a time bomb.
- Lt. James Skylar Dunbar: How could I have had a time bomb? They searched me when they took me prisoner.
- Geneva man: And the way you search your prisoners, it does sound rather unlikely.
- Oberst Von Scherbach: All I know is he did it. I am satisfied.
- Geneva man: I am not. According to the Geneva Convention, this man...
- Lt. James Skylar Dunbar: Is there anything in the Geneva Convention that'll let a guy sleep?
- [he stumbles over to von Scherbach's couch and falls asleep]
- Oberst Von Scherbach: You were saying?
- Geneva man: Simply this. After the hostilities are ended, there will be such a thing as a War Crimes Commission. If the man should be convicted without proper proof, you will be held responsible, Oberst von Scherbach.
- Oberst Von Scherbach: Interesting.
- Geneva man: Isn't it?
- Oberst Von Scherbach: Very well. If you insist on details, I have ways of finding out about that blasted time bomb. Good day, sir. You will forgive me for receiving you like this.
- Geneva man: Perfectly all right. I do not like boots.
- Hoffy: Since you want us to speak up, there was a man removed from this barracks last night. A Lieutenant Dunbar. We'd appreciate your looking into it. That's if they haven't shot him yet.
- Geneva man: Why was the man arrested?
- German Lieutenant: Sabotage. He blew up a train.
- Hoffy: They'd have to prove that first, wouldn't they? Isn't that what the Geneva Convention says? You can't just take a man out and shoot him.
