Quotes 

• Mashka : Don't you want to kiss me?

  Baron Gregor de Bergmann : [Cutting a juicy pear with his knife and eating it as he talks]  A pear is the best fruit!

  Mashka : Every time you see her, you want to be rid of me.

  Baron Gregor de Bergmann : [Seemingly ignoring her]  Lots of juice in a pear!

  Mashka : Well, you'll find out I'll not be got rid of so easily! Do you hear what I say?

  Baron Gregor de Bergmann : Adam should've chosen a pear.

  Mashka : You've got it all planned, haven't you? You're gonna marry her. You're gonna make her your wife, your baroness!

  Baron Gregor de Bergmann : I like the feel of a pear! And when you're through with it...

  [He carelessly tosses it across the room] 

• Col. Paul Hassel : [Playing chess]  Your attack is weak as your brother Gregor's was brilliant. Chess, by the way, was the only virtue I ever discovered in him.

  Baron Gregor de Bergmann : I received a letter today from him from Warsaw. Most of it was devoted to begging me to send his love to you, Colonel.

  Col. Paul Hassel : His love to me? Well, if I have to accept it, I'd rather have it by post than any way I can think of.

• Baron Gregor de Bergmann : [as Anton lies dying in the well of the Black Room]  Goodbye, brother. There's nothing to fear now. The prophecy can't be fulfilled.

  Anton de Bergmann : [With certitude]  It will be fulfilled!

  Baron Gregor de Bergmann : Perhaps you will come back from the dead to kill me?

  Anton de Bergmann : [Dying words]  Even from the dead!
