Cordelia Egermann
- Cordelia Egermann: We laughed about all those repairs and the architect's report. It was really quite funny. Peter said that I live in a real rat trap. But I love my old house. I'll never move out of it.
- Cordelia Egermann: When he was twenty, he met a very nice girl. They got engaged and planned to get married after finishing college. And then he met Katarina and fell madly in love with her. Katarina had a lot of control over him. She had the say. What Peter's parents said or thought... wasn't important anymore. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be. I don't know anything. I don't understand anything. And how could I understand?
- Cordelia Egermann: I'm his mother, Katarina. I'm close to him than any other person. I gave birth to him and raised him. He's a part of my life. You don't have any children. You don't understand a mother's feelings. The responsibility... the guilt... the shame.
- Katarina Egermann: You're right. I don't understand.
- Cordelia Egermann: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.
- Katarina Egermann: You didn't hurt me. I feel sorry for you.
- Cordelia Egermann: I don't believe that.
- Katarina Egermann: I've been here for half an hour. All you've talked about is your feelings. Your problems, your guilt, your shame.
- Cordelia Egermann: Forgive me, Katarina. I thought you'd come here so that we could talk. I thought we could talk... about our feelings.
- Katarina Egermann: He doesn't seem to be all there.
- Cordelia Egermann: Do you think he's in distress?
- Katarina Egermann: No, he's getting injections.
- Cordelia Egermann: I wish an injection could catapult me out of this hell. This truly is hell. I walk around all day by myself. I put on my coat to take a walk in the park... but I can't go out the door. I don't know what to do.
