• Joseph K. : Why isn't the court in session?

  Hilda : It'll be sitting tomorrow.

  Joseph K. : Are you sure?

  Hilda : Sure. My husband's a guard here.

  Joseph K. : Influence, huh?

• Hilda : It's Bert.

  Joseph K. : Bert?

  Hilda : I know. He's ugly. Did you get a look at those legs of his? All the same, I gotta go and be with him. I'll come back soon. Then I'll go with you wherever you like and you can do with me whatever you want. What's wrong? Don't you believe me?

  Joseph K. : Why should I? This could be a trap.

  Hilda : Are you afraid?
