"Do you know, Father - what happens only on one day all over the world?"
STOCKINGS
"I insist on an immediate search!"
"...in any case I'm not as easily swayed by a pair of beautiful eyes, as my father is!"
"...how could someone come up with such an idea?"
"I was so desperate and in need -
...and I once read it in the newspaper-"
"We are not victims yet officer - let her run on!"
"As constable I must pursue the matter further!"
"-there you have the difference between old pros and an amateur!"
"...a handkerchief!"
"Have mercy on me - I swear, it was my first time -"
"I was behind with the rent - I should be thrown out tomorrow - onto the streets..."
...and I have such fear of the streets!"
POLICE STATION
"No, no - let me at least get my papers..."
"...it's just near here - Kirchstrasse 11...
...you can come up there with me!"
"None of this belongs to me anymore...
...tomorrow I must be out of here!"
"I am so bad..."
...please, get me a cognac...!"
"Would you also like one..."
"You wanted to get your papers - please do so!"
"The excitement was too much for me... Officer -
...I feel so ill!"
"I will let the ambulance take you away!"
"You please me - you really do!"
"Come in, your supper is waiting, my boy!"
"I was with friends having a beer -"
"What's going on, boy - is something the matter?
"Is the street work perhaps too tough for you?"
Identification papers Albert Holk
"Consul General, here is your passport and plane ticket to Berlin!"
"There's a letter for you from Paris - from him!"
"My dearest Else..."
"Let the boy sleep, whilst he has a free Sunday!"
"I have brought you back your present, Miss..."
"...or do you believe you can pay me off?"
"- Perhaps because I didn't take you to where you belong!"
"So was that not meant -"
"I was until yesterday evening a dutiful constable -
...and now -"
"You must stay with me - forever - as my wife -"
"Do you even realise what you've said? - Policeman and thief -"
"Thief? - Desperate people may do wrong but that doesn't make them bad!"
"Go, go - it's better for us both - I won't see you again!"
"- Won't you go -?"
"Do you truly believe that I need to thieve?"
"Is this need?!"
"IS THIS NEED?!"
"- If the officer still wishes to marry me - please -"
"Don't give up on me - don't let me down!!"
"Good evening!"
"Leave it Mother, our boy knows what he's doing - he should be allowed to have some fun!"
"-I have - killed - a person!!"
"Mother -
"...the law's the law!"
"She will testify - it was self-defence - she will testify!!"
"My name is Else Kramer and I live at Kirchstrasse 1 1."
"I want to tell you everything: I was at Bergen the jewellers and..."
"The Holks can go for the time being, however it is the authority's decree that...
...the woman be taken into custody!"
"I'm waiting, dearest one -"
