Velocchio:
The most important thing for me is... that you love me... protect me and trust me. All my life I've been weak. l need your help. Tell me what to do. Tell me how to be. Cynical, maybe? Alfred Redl: Why cynical? Velocchio: You don't believe in the whole thing, but you go on. You said war is coming, but you'll lose it anyway. See more » |
