Jakob Zouk
- Woman in Apartment: Hey, Mister?
- Jakob Zouk: [Hears band playing Silent Night outside the Apartment] I ain't heard that piece in 14 years.
- Woman in Apartment: Get into bed!
- Jakob Zouk: That's something else I ain't heard in 14 years. Too late.
- Guy Van Stratten: I'm sorry but you're going to have to talk to me. We got to get out of here. Look, if we don't start moving, right away, you're going to be killed! I mean that, murdered.
- Jakob Zouk: I'm a dying man with no money. Somebody wants to kill me? He's wasting his time.
- Guy Van Stratten: No money? Well, you could use some dough, couldn't you. How would you like to earn 500 marks?
- Jakob Zouk: Earn?
- Guy Van Stratten: Or, even a thousand! We could go to my hotel. No, that's no good, he might find us. We can go to another hotel and I'll get you a fine room with a nice bed and lots of warm, big, thick, heavy blankets.
- Jakob Zouk: Oh, yeah? And who are you? Santa Claus?
- Guy Van Stratten: I am the one who's going to keep you from getting murdered. Oh, I know you, sir, you're an old jail bird, just out of stir, an ex-dope pusher, the world's forgotten you. I wouldn't give you a thought if I didn't have to. If my own life didn't depend on it.
- Guy Van Stratten: Oh, you don't want to talk. That's what Oscar said.
- Jakob Zouk: O-O-Oscar, he's a drug addict. He'll never be well.
- Guy Van Stratten: I almost made him well. I got him out in the water. Took away his needle.
- [Cut to new scene inside a sail boat]
- Oscar: I don't need to play my music for a pleasure cruise. Pleasure?
- [Shaking]
- Oscar: I don't know how long we've been out on this boat? For how many days I've been without?
- Guy Van Stratten: Without your heroin!
- Oscar: You didn't throw it away did you?
- Guy Van Stratten: You'll get your junk when you start to talk.
- Oscar: I won't talk. I won't tell you anything.
