Quotes 

• Emma : We must train and grow with the Resistance. We need to find guns, we need to learn how to shoot, we need to learn explosives. They're not humans. No human would do that to another.

  Marcel Marceau : While you were there, I filled myself with hate and of course I did feel an urge for revenge but the more I thought about it, the only thing in my mind was why are we here, fighting a war we can't win... when we could be taking orphan children to another country before the Nazis get to them?

  Emma : We can't leave now.

  Marcel Marceau : But what can we truly accomplish?

  Emma : We can fight back. We found homes for the children, safe places.

  Marcel Marceau : No place is safe for them as long as they're in a country that's occupied by Nazis and the little fighting that we can do...

  Emma : We can slow them down! We can make it impossible for them in France.

  Marcel Marceau : What is it the Nazis want?

  Emma : What?

  Marcel Marceau : They don't care about Klaus Barbie you know, or a bunch of Gestapo slaves that we may kill, if we are lucky...

  Emma : No, you are right. They care about killing us like they killed her.

  Marcel Marceau : So, what's the best way to resist? It's not to kill them. They're ready to die! If you want to resist, we have to make sure more Jews survive.

  Emma : How can you not want to go and murder him?

  Marcel Marceau : Of course I want to murder Barbie! I want Hitler to die as well, but we can't kill all the Nazis.

  Emma : We can kill some.

  Marcel Marceau : Or you can save some lives. And maybe one day those Nazis will be captured while the kids we saved go on and form families.

  Emma : What about those who already died?

  Marcel Marceau : What do you think they would want us to do? Risk our lives to take revenge on their killers or do it to help their orphans survive?

  Emma : We have to save the children.

  Marcel Marceau : We will.
