Quotes 

• Controller : I thought it unwise to speak in front of Bomasch. So far we've made no impression on him.

  Gus Bennett : [who is pretending to be Major Herzoff]  I do not agree. He looks ten years older.

  Controller : My orders are to obtain quick results.

  Gus Bennett : At the Reich, we are rather inclined to believe that the knuckle-duster is the best diplomatic weapon.

  Controller : Do I understand that you question ?

  Gus Bennett : I question nothing. I am an army officer.

  Admiral Hassinger : Personally, I do not follow any of this at all.

  Gus Bennett : Bomasch is not the man to be bullied into cooperation, sir.

  Controller : Well, what do you suggest ?

  Gus Bennett : I knew Fraulein Bomasch in Prague.

  [Looks knowingly at Admiral Hassinger] 

  Gus Bennett : She has a great influence with her father and is the one person who can make him change his mind.

  Controller : Oh, Marsen here has tried that but she refused to listen. He is largely responsible for tracing Bomasch in England, completely outwitting the British military intelligence.

  Gus Bennett : [to Marsen]  So, may I express a soldier's admiration for one who can carry out his mission under the very eyes of the enemy secret service ?

  Karl Marsen : Thank you, sir.

  Gus Bennett : But, if I may say so, I hardly think the captain is a suitable person to influence the lady.

  Controller : And who do you think would be more suitable ?

  Gus Bennett : Why, uh, myself for instance.

  Controller : You ?

  Gus Bennett : Why not ?

  Admiral Hassinger : Herzoff was very friendly with her in Prague, you know.

  Gus Bennett : A little more than friendly. You saw the way she looked at me when I came in.

  Admiral Hassinger : Oh yes, of course. Seems to me that you are a bit of a dog, Herzoff.

  Gus Bennett : A technician, Admiral. One does not talk about these things.

• Admiral Hassinger : You really believe that you can influence a girl in a matter of hours ?

  Gus Bennett : Shall we say... overnight ?

  Admiral Hassinger : I see.

  Karl Marsen : Knowing Fraulein Bomasch, sir, I doubt whether even his qualities will make any impression on her.

  Gus Bennett : You aren't acquainted with my qualities.

• Controller : We can't afford to waste time.

  [to Admiral Hassinger] 

  Controller : You didn't give him permission to travel with the prisoners, did you sir ?

  Admiral Hassinger : No, no. But he may have assumed it. If you remember, we more or less gave him carte blanche.

  Controller : The only thing is to check up with the War Office, sir.

  Admiral Hassinger : I suppose so.

  Controller : [picks up phone]  War Office.

  Admiral Hassinger : If he's right, this will be very serious for you, Kampfeldt.

  Controller : Very serious indeed.

  Capt. Prada : That letter was addressed to you. There's no denying that, Kampfeldt.

  Kampenfeldt : Quite right. I'm afraid I shall have to sack my secretary.
