- Kruger Stelman: I want to ask you Captain... what are my chances?
- James Phelps: At your age? Not very good.
- Kruger Stelman: Do not misunderstand me, Captain. I'm not trying to save my skin. I'm thinking about something Rednitz said.
- James Phelps: Herr Rednitz said many things, most of them eminently forgettable.
- Kruger Stelman: Not this. He said I would die a traitor.
- James Phelps: Schtelman, you yourself know whether or not you disclosed the information. That should be enough.
- Kruger Stelman: No, Captain, it is not enough. Not for me. You are a younger, fitter man. Your chance of survival is much greater than mine. Take the account number, prove to them I never cracked.
- James Phelps: No, thank you, Herr Schtelman. I am a seaman, not a politician.
- Kruger Stelman: Captain. Captain, take it, the number.
- James Phelps: I am not interested, Schtelman.
- Kruger Stelman: My old SS number, 7-7-3-2-6. Do you hear, Captain? Zurich National Bank, double seven-3-2-6! Do you hear, Captain? The account number. Zurich National Bank, 7-7-3-2-6, 7-7-3-2-6! Captain! Captain, the account number! 7-7-3-2-6! 7-7-3-2-6! Seven-seven, Captain! 3-2-6.

- Kruger Stelman: Congratulations, Sardner. After 25 years, you finally got the information out of me.

- Person on Tape: [voice on tape] Good morning, Mr. Phelps. You are looking at Kruger Schtelman, who is due to be released in three days from a prison in the East European Republic after serving a 25-year sentence for war crimes. Schtelman is the only man alive who knows the whereabouts of the funds stolen by the SS from the countries occupied by the Nazis in World War II. This enormous sum is intended to finance a neo-Nazi coup in Europe, which is set to trigger as soon as they get the money. Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to learn where this vast hoard of cash is hidden before the neo-Nazis do. As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim.
- Kruger Stelman: If my people remember me at all, Colonel, they will say "Kruger Schtelman, a soldier - he could not be broken!"
- Kruger Stelman: I have no information.
- Colonel Jaroslav Sardner: I wonder- how many times have you used that sentence, Herr Schtelman?
- Kruger Stelman: In the last 25 years, more times than I can remember, Colonel. To you, your predecessor, his predecessor. In rat-infested cellblocks, in palatial offices, in seamy hotel interrogation rooms. Every conceivable setting for my one simple performance line: "I have no Information to give you."
