- Schwester Christel: Otto... I want to belong with you, Otto. Shall we now promise each other here before witnesses?
- Otto Marquardt: Dear nurse Christel, we really do not know each other that well. And you certainly will not speculate on a war widow's pension, because then I have to disappoint you, I intend to stay alive. Farewell.
- Max Planck: Ladies and gentlemen, in our days when one no longer believes in the spirit as the basis of all creation and therefore stands in bitter distance from God, it is precisely the tiniest and invisible that leads the truth out of the grave of materialistic delusions of material and the Door opens into the lost and forgotten world of the spirit. The only thing we can safely claim as our property, the highest good, which no power in the world can steal from us, and which is able to make us happy like no other, is a pure disposition.
- Anni Waldhausen: Why did you desert?
- Otto Marquardt: The homosexual departement is after us. Nurse Christel must have denounced us.
- Anni Waldhausen: You? How dare Christel do something like that? It's absurd.
- Otto Marquardt: Anni, I... I am...
- Anni Waldhausen: No, not you. You just haven't found the right girl yet.
- Otto Marquardt: But the right guy. I love Martin. Do you know where he is? Was he arrested?
- Anni Waldhausen: Yes. He is supposed to be with de Crinis, for appraisal.
- Otto Marquardt: He'll put him into a camp. Martin is on record, he is considered a seducer.
- Anni Waldhausen: Yes, without him you would be... I mean... what the hell?
- Otto Marquardt: Please understand that. Martin did not seduce me. I have fallen in love with him.
