- [Discussing the plan to assassinate Heydrich]
- Janak: He's been doing the same thing everyday without fail. It never varies. What do you think, Jan?
- Jan Kubis: [pointing to a map] There's only one place - here. We kill him there as he comes around Holesovice Junction.
- Anna: But he's heavily guarded all the time!
- Jan Kubis: He slows down.
- Anna: You're going to stand there, pointing your guns a few feet from Heydrich, in full view of his escort?
- Karel Curda: We'll never get away with it.
- Jan Kubis: It's the only place.
- Anna: It's suicide!
- General: First, I am gonna give you some background information And then I'll talk about the mission itself. The Code name is: Operation Daybreak.
- Reinhard Heydrich: My dear friends, it gives me great pleasure to propose a toast to the bride and groom. Two fine representatives of Germany's future. Lieutenant Rostock is a brave soldier and his wife, Monika, is the prototype of the ideal German woman. Together they will serve our Führer, and together they will purify all Europe in his glorious name.

- Jozef Gabcík: Yeah. What the hell is it all about?
- Anna: Loss of time and energy and thought and for what? Killing. Christ, we're young. We should be out enjoying ourselves!
- Father Petrek: War is the greatest evil. In war, no man could hold himself responsible for the sins of his enemy.
