- Ann Marie Brandt: Isn't he stupid?
- Anita Hoffman: But he's a boy.
- Ann Marie Brandt: What's that to be so stuck up about?
- Holger Brandt: There comes a night each year when one senses that Winter is suddenly over.
- Anita Hoffman: Yes, that Spring has come. Oh, how I look forward to it through the dreary months.
- Holger Brandt: Look, there goes the Winter now: broken, rushing to the sea. Don't you feel when Spring comes that the world is yours just for the asking? That there's nothing that you couldn't be?
- Anita Hoffman: Tonight, I would dare anything. Or, perhaps, it's only the champagne.
- Holger Brandt: Do you know what you remind me of?
- Anita Hoffman: No. Tell me.
- Holger Brandt: A Viennese waltz. Smiling but melancholy. A melody of the days when Vienna was a happy city.
- Anita Hoffman: Holger, I'm going. I'm going now. Quickly, as if it didn't matter. Don't touch me - or say anything. Don't turn around.
- [she leaves, Holger turns around]
- Anita Hoffman: What am I? Your shadow. I don't exist without you.
- Holger Brandt: You're not a shadow. How can you talk such nonsense?
- Anita Hoffman: But it's enough. Let me be with you like this - always.
- Holger Brandt: And will that be enough? Always?
- Anita Hoffman: It has been the greatest happiness I've ever known - and the greatest I'll ever know. Such happiness couldn't come more than once in one's life. I know it couldn't. Could it?
