  Charlie Maguire : So, Luther, Stuckart and Buhler... they were killed for forgeries?

• Xavier March : Let me tell you a story about a clockmaker. He was over a hundred years old. Wrinkled face, his hair was white as snow. He'd worked all his life, hunched over clocks like this. So, he was a hunchback. People thought he was ugly, people of the village, and they used to call him names. So, he lived on top of the mountain with all his clocks. And he worked day and night. While he was working all the time, he didnt notice that the hunch on his back started to grow. Bigger and bigger. And one day, when he went out for a walk, his nose almost touched the ground. Thats how big it was. And that same night he was working, working away with little clocks, and they suddenly stopped ticking and he looked up. And he saw, in the mirror, two little feathers coming out of his coat and he started growing. And he looked in the mirror and he saw that he had these two big wings. And all the clocks starting singing. And he opened the window, looked at the stars, and flew up in the sky.

  Pili March : Then what happened to him?

  Xavier March : He became an Angel.

  Pili March : Will that happen to him?

  Xavier March : Well. We can't kill angels can we?

• Charlie Maguire : [recalling a Gestapo agent at Stuckart's apartment]  That wasn't the man who let me in this morning.

  Xavier March : You didn't mention "a man" in your statement!

• Xavier March : How do I tell my son that I've served murderers all my life? That this was not a glorious war for national survival, just extermination?
