- [English subtitled version]
- Dr. Hans Mertens: And you? Where were you at the time? In the country? In the mountains? In safe keeping?
- Susanne Wallner: Yes. I guess I was in safe keeping. You could call it that.
- [English subtitled version]
- Susanne Wallner: What's your occupation?
- Dr. Hans Mertens: A surgical specialist.
- Susanne Wallner: What? You're a doctor?
- Dr. Hans Mertens: Not a very intelligent question. Surgeons are usually doctors. But I'm a special kind of surgeon. One who can't stand seeing blood. I can no longer bear to hear the moans of people in torment. I know there is no longer any point in healing mankind.

- Susanne Wallner: Oh my, it is hard. It's so hard to forget.
- Herr Mondschein: No, it is easy to forget what happened. You need to have a worthwhile goal to aim for.
- Susanne Wallner: Yes, work. Life. Living life at last.
- [English subtitled version]
- Susanne Wallner: I was afraid of freedom. Afraid of people. Afraid to return here. Afraid to see our city again. Now I'm sitting here again. Just like old times. You are still working here. As if nothing had happened.
