Quotes1

  • Gregor Hessenstein: Your caution is praiseworthy. The fewer people know, the better. The Stasi is not to be toyed with. On that note, I brought something for you.
  • [Hessenstein takes a pie out of a box, revealing a typewriter hidden underneath]
  • Georg Dreyman: I'd have preferred the whole pie. I already have a typewriter.
  • Gregor Hessenstein: The Stasi can identify its typeface. If they intercepted the text at the border, for using your typewriter, you'd end in Hohenschonhausen. And that's no fun, as Paul can confirm, right? I'm afraid I could get only a red ink ribbon for this model. Do you mind writing it in red?
  • Georg Dreyman: That won't be a problem.
  • Gregor Hessenstein: Is there somewhere you can hide it?
  • Georg Dreyman: Yes, I'll find a place.
  • Gregor Hessenstein: Don't take it lightly. I don't want my next article to be about your disappearance! Nobody may know that this typewriter exists!
