[
On Elsa's ad-libbed story about a letter of free conduct.]
Hungarian Nazi:
Anyone could say that.
SS Officer:
She isn't just anyone, this lady.
[
to Elsa]
SS Officer:
No one is just anyone, right? Every man is someone... You wouldn't lie to me, would you?
Elsa Tabori:
No.
SS Officer:
You do know what they have to do with you in case you would lie to me?
Elsa Tabori:
Yes.
SS Officer:
Well, then...
[
to his aide]
SS Officer:
She is going back to Budapest. Take the lady to my compartment.
[
to the Hungarian Nazi]
SS Officer:
And you, put away your weapon.
