Mrs. Sauer
- Frau Hedy Sauer: I heard what he said.
- Bruno Sauer: Did you see the little rat slipping around? He tried to drag me into something.
- Frau Hedy Sauer: You've cut yourself. He was speaking of George Heisler, wasn't he?
- Bruno Sauer: How do I know?
- Frau Hedy Sauer: Who was he?
- Bruno Sauer: I never saw the fellow before.
- Frau Hedy Sauer: But he seemed to know what you had said to Heisler.
- Bruno Sauer: He might very well have been the Gestapo.
- Frau Hedy Sauer: He might very well have been sent by Heisler! You didn't even try to find out. You're a coward.
- Bruno Sauer: How could I be sure?
- Frau Hedy Sauer: You've been telling yourself for years that someday you would do something. You never really meant it. You've been fooling yourself, excusing your own weakness. Today you had your chance, and you didn't take it.
- Bruno Sauer: Hedy!
- Frau Hedy Sauer: You were afraid!
- Bruno Sauer: Hedy, please, why do you torture me? What's wrong between us?
- Frau Hedy Sauer: What do you think? When I left home to marry you, it was because everything there was repulsive to me. My father, my brothers, their way of living. I think sometimes of the plans you used to have. What's become of them? The things you used to say, the things you planned to do.
- Bruno Sauer: I can't help it. I don't dare to risk anything. My home, my family, you. I'm very much in love with you, Hedy.
- Frau Hedy Sauer: You've chosen the wrong way to keep me. I'd risk all this, all of it. It's no use to me now, because I've lost my respect for you. It's a shame. It shouldn't have happened.
