Klaus Koch : [Koch took Gilles back after he was put to move to another camp] You would risk your life for those nameless people.
Gilles : Those aren't nameless. Just because you don't know their names. At least they aren't murderers.
Klaus Koch : I'm not a murderer.
Gilles : No. You just make sure that the murderers eat well.
-
Klaus Koch : As long as you work for me nothing will happen to you. I bet 20 cans of meat that nothing will happen to you.
Gilles : Too bad I won't be able to eat them since I'll be dead.
-
Gilles : [about his daily fourty words in 'Farsi'] Inventing them is not a problem but to remember them all, it's impossible. And there will always be more. Many more.

American Investigator : Do you remember some of the names?
Gilles : Yes. I remember. I can give you 2840 names.
American Investigator : Of people?
Gilles : Yes. The first and last names of 2840 people.
American Investigator : But that's impossible!
[Then he lists their names]
