- Lina: Remember the story?
- Jakob Heym: Which one?
- Lina: The sick princess. Is it a true story?
- Jakob Heym: Of course it is.
- Lina: The boys said it is silly.
- Jakob Heym: What is silly?
- Lina: well with cotton balls. She wanted a cotton ball as big as her pillow.
- Jakob Heym: She wanted a cloud. She thought clouds were made of cotton balls.
- Lina: Aren't clouds made of cotton balls?
- Mischa: I just wanted to say to you... I mean... you know... We're all here... I wanted to ask you and your wife, of course...
- Jakob Heym: Speak freely, you're not asking for my hand, are you?
- Mischa: I'm asking for Rosa's.
- Kowalski: I'm asking you as a friend. What would you invest in?
- Jakob Heym: Maybe luxury goods of some kind. They were crazy for them after the last war. David built a house with the profits on the schnapps he sold.
- Kowalski: You're right. Do you think we'll have potatoes to make schnapps?
- Jakob Heym: Probably not. Everything will be short. You need good instincts.
- Kowalski: I'll make you an offer, Jakob. We'll serve each other for free.
- Jakob Heym: Good. Why are you grinning?
- Kowalski: A deal's a deal?
- [They shake hands on it]
- Jakob Heym: What's funny now?
- Kowalski: You eat more often than you get a haircut.
- Jakob Heym: True... But I shave every day. A deal is a deal.
