- Anton Bartonek: Telling you not to eat or drink. one morsel of food, one swallow of drink, before you think, Before you think! What is best for your country. Keep your country free from the foe you hate. Catch him! Catch him! Do not wait!
- Karel Vavra: Patience, children. Patience. You mustn't cry Jarmilla. None of us must cry. We must stand erect with our eyes to the sun and courage in our hearts.
- German Arresting Soldier: Anton Bartonek, miner?
- Anton Bartonek: Yes.
- Maria Bartonek: What is it, Anton?
- German Arresting Soldier: You're under arrest.
- Anton Bartonek: What for?
- German Arresting Soldier: You're accused of sabotage. Our Führer has good ears. He even knows what goes on underground.
- Anton Bartonek: He'd better get used to it!
- German Arresting Soldier: What?
- Anton Bartonek: He doesn't dream what's in store for him. For all of you!
- Karel Vavra: Beyond the borders of our country, in England and far off America, millions of men are leaving their work, in factories and on the farms, to fight those who made slaves of our people. They've sworn to destroy Nazism and liberate all the oppressed peoples of Europe. They ask you to help them.
- Maria Bartonek: Please, Major Bauer. Who will feed my children? They'll starve!
- Herman Bauer: Your husband should have thought of that before. German trains need coal! Our housewives needed to cook our modest meals!
- Professor: Inevitably, pressure creates its own counter pressure. Its very existence fertilizes the seeds of its eventual annihilation.
- Professor: My lecture today is on the phenominom of pressure as conceived by the philosophers of the seventeenth century.
- Reinhardt Heydrich: Very interesting, please proceed.
- Professor: One might argue, that sufficient pressure would be able to destroy its own counter pressure. But, this is not necessarily true. Force and violence destroy only bodies, never the essence of the opposing force.
- Reinhardt Heydrich: I presume you refer to metaphysical matters not to political events?
- Professor: Philosophy covers the entire field of life.
- Reinhardt Heydrich: Advise, Professor of Philosophy, to confine himself to the realms of the abstract.
- Jarmilla Hanka: Darling, if you have to go, please take me with you.
- Karel Vavra: No, darling.
- Jarmilla Hanka: I'm not afraid.
- Karel Vavra: I'd be afraid for you. You're safer here.
- Jarmilla Hanka: I don't want to be here or - or anywhere without you.
- Karel Vavra: Maybe somewhere in the world, sweethearts still walk together hand-in-hand. But, not here, darling.
- Herman Bauer: Americans, huh! They are soft. Spoiled by democracy! We'll mop them up like that!
- [Snaps fingers]
- Herman Bauer: Read "Mein Kampf". One day Hitler will take over America and put it in order.
- Jan Hanka: You know, when I was young I thought things were simple. Right or wrong. Black or white. And as I grew older, I tried to understand the in-between. The shadows. I tried to see the other fellows point of view. I even imagined Nazis might be human beings . But, this afternoon I knew I was right at first. Things are simple. They kill you. You kill them.
- SS Colonel: Something has to be done immediately! There must be reprisals. Bloody reprisals. You must stamp out resistance at once!
- SS Officer #1: What can we tell the press? They're waiting for a statement. Shall I tell them that the assassin was a Czech?
- SS Officer #2: A Czech? Preposterous! They wouldn't dare!
- SS Officer #3: It could have been a British parachuter.
- SS Colonel: No! We'll say it was a Jew. That's always good!
- SS Colonel: We must have the assassin before Himmler arrives. Do something! Take hostages! Hostages from every town and village. Hundreds of arrests is what I want. Shoot them by the hundreds! Shoot them down - every one of them!
- SS Officer #1: But, what shall we tell the press?
- SS Colonel: Shoot them - eh? Tell them, eh, the Reich Protector Heydrich had a slight accident. Just a few scratches. He'll be back at his desk in the morning. That's all gentlemen. Heil Hitler!
- Herman Bauer: Please, I'll have to speak to my wife. I need my hat and coat.
- German Arresting Officer: No, you won't. You're under arrest.
- Herman Bauer: If my Führer wants me, without my hat and coat, I'm ready. I'll go. Take your hands off me! I'm a Party man! Heil Hitler!
- German Arresting Officer: Shut up!
- Herman Bauer: You won't kill me. I love my Führer. Heil Hitler! I gave him my two sons. Two brave, German sons. Mama! They are taking me! Mama! Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler! Heil...
- Heinrich Himmler: A soldier dies with courage, Heydrich.
- Reinhardt Heydrich: A true Nazi, eh? I would like to see how you and your Führer would act if your insides were shot out. Why can't I get morphine? Its getting dark. I want to live!
- Heinrich Himmler: You are dying for the Führer, Heydrich.
- Reinhardt Heydrich: I don't want to die. I'm not going to die for the Führer or anyone else. I want to live. You'll face death one of these days too, Himmler - you and your Führer. All of you will face death. All of you. There's another thing out there. Come, closer. You'll lose. The Russians will win. The Poles, the British, the Czech, the Americans will win. You'll be the only ones to lose. And why? Why will they win? I'll tell you. You are too weak, that's it. Everyday I had them shoot thirty. It should have been three hundred, Himmler. And three thousand. Day for day, three - I should have done away with them all. All of them. All of them. Kill them if you want to be safe. Everyday. All of them. Shoot them. Shoot them. Kill them.
- Reinhardt Heydrich: I'm absent minded today. I forgot the ladies entirely. Are you afraid little lady?
- Clara Janek: No. I'm not afraid.
- Reinhardt Heydrich: All right. Now, surely, I'm not sending ladies to a Concentration Camp. They will go to the Russian front instead of the men. But, of course, dig trenches? No, lovely one! I would never think of that. A pretty girl like you could serve so much better entertaining our courageous German soldiers.
- Clara Janek: No!
