• Bruno Sauer : Come in. You want to see me? What can I do for you?

  [Sauer is at the mirror, shaving with a straight razor] 

  Paul Roeder : I bring you the regards of a mutual friend. I wonder if you still remember him. He was with you once on a canoeing excursion.

  [Sauer pauses and looks frightened, then continues shaving] 

  Bruno Sauer : I'm afraid I don't understand. Whose regards are you bringing me?

  Paul Roeder : It was more than three years ago. You said to him that if there was ever something big he wanted done, he could count on you.

  Bruno Sauer : I still don't understand at all. I think you must have the wrong address. You'll have to excuse me. I'm afraid your friend put you in touch with the wrong man. I happen to be in a great hurry just now. Hedy! Will you show this man the door, Hedy?

  [He continues shaving, but he cuts himself] 

• [repeated line] 

  Paul Roeder : A fine thing!

• George Heisler : Well, you seem to have accomplished quite a good deal since I saw you last.

  Paul Roeder : Oh, well. The population of Germany has to be trebled. Don't you listen to the Fuhrer's speeches?

  George Heisler : Yes. But I never heard him say little Paul Roeder had to do it all himself.

  Paul Roeder : It is not so difficult nowadays to have children.

  George Heisler : It never was.
