Quotes 

• Major Otto Hecht : You are assuming that because a man steals from his country... he will also betray it?

  Professor Blake : No, that would make any tax fiddler a potential traitor.

• Professor Blake : Oh, there's no such thing as country, major. There are only rivers, mountains, houses and people. "Country" is an abstraction.

  Major Otto Hecht : You don't really believe that.

  Professor Blake : No.

• Professor Blake : Telling bad jokes doesn't make a man a collaborator.
