Night Train to Munich (1940)

Austin Trevor: Capt. Prada

Quotes 

• Capt. Prada : One moment, Major. You will be surprised to hear that Bomasch is no longer in England.

  Gus Bennett : What ?

  Capt. Prada : He was brought back to Germany only a few hours ago. In fact, he's in this building now.

  Gus Bennett : But this completely alters my plans. Perhaps you can arrange for me to see Herr Bomasch at once.

  Capt. Prada : I'm afraid it's impossible. He's with the controller.

  Gus Bennett : But surely there's no harm in my asking him a few questions.

  Capt. Prada : It's beyond my province, Major. I'll pass you on to Captain Viengarten, but frankly I don't think it will get you any further. The controller's office is rather like the kingdom of heaven. And if anything, a little more exclusive.

• 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.
