  • Veronika Voss : I'm sure you felt bad.

    Robert Krohn : No, not at once.

  • Veronika Voss : When we go away, the furniture has to be covered, the shutters closed, and the electricity turned off.

  • Veronika Voss : Now I belong to you. All I have left to give you is my death.

    Dr. Marianne Katz : What was that?

    Veronika Voss : Nothing. Just a line from an old movie. From my old life.

  • Veronika Voss : Do you know what it's called over there? The dream factory. A factory in which dreams are made, not money. Just imagine. One can make dreams. Make them. Just like that.
